HappyMom

Hello! I'm 53 years old, married to Michael since 1985 and mom to two teens. I've been pen-palling and swapping for nearly 40 years and have always loved it. I work full time (and part-time as well), and I'm very involved with a ministry called "The Walk to Emmaus". I love my family, my church and my friends...

Summer is my favorite season, and I've always wanted to move back to Hawaii! I lived there for a short time years ago, and it's my favorite place on earth. I love the beach, lighthouses, tropical flowers, palm trees, trade winds, volcanos and anything Hawaiian. My husband thinks I'm trying to buy Hawaii one eBay auction at a time!

I enjoy Christian fiction, Praise & Worship music, exercise and healthy eating, Bible study and pen-palling. I especially enjoy cassette tape letter pals. I spend way too much time on Facebook! Look me up!

I have a swapping group called FB_Friends at yahoogroups and enjoy keeping track of that.

I love animals (mostly dogs), quiet time at home and spending time with my family.

I am a part-time radio DJ and I sell Avon.

I collect anything Hawaiian, miniature water globes, Willow Tree figurines and The Geography Collection drinking glasses by Cat Studio. I enjoy receiving nice stationery, note cards, stickers and scrapbook supplies. I'm a coffee and tea drinker too. Love kitchen gadgets, towels and pot holders.

I don't like receiving any kiddie or reward stickers, dark-themed or evil things, out-of-season holiday items, candy or snacks. I'm not into crafts, but I can always use scrapbook supplies for making Friendship Books.

Overall, I'm very easy to please and almost always enjoy and appreciate everything my swap partners share! Thanks so much, and I look forward to swapping with you.

Your friend, Ilyse
