I am current on all my swaps.

If you have sent me a dotee doll, you can say hello here

I live on a small farm is SE Indiana, and I love the country. The farm I live on is about 4 acres and I get lots of deer, wild turkeys and other "wild" visitors.

I am a downhome grandmother of four. I usually have my grandkids with me all weekend, and besides fishing in the pond, feeding the animals and working in the garden, we go on trips to the aquarium, to the museum, and to the zoo.

My hobbies include reading, cooking, gardening and crafting. I love taking photos and am rarely without my camera. I am also an avid reader and usually go through 3-4 books a week and 2-3 books on tape. I am also taking classes at a local community college to earn a degree in Business Management.

I love yard sales and go to the flea market every Wednesday morning. I love rooting through the stuff and finding those amazing treasures!

My favorite colors are soft purples, greens and blues. I do NOT like strident or neon colors. I like soft floral scents or scents like fresh rain, ocean breeze or clean linen. I do not like heavy earthy scents.

My favorite flowers are lilacs, lilly of the valley and lavender. I love the spring when all the flowers begin to bloom and I bring masses of them into the house to savor the scent.

My current favorite TV shows are Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen. They are the only "reality" shows I watch. Other shows I like include House, Grey's Anatomy, The Office, The Closer, Monk, Bones, & Desperate Housewives. I also love BBC TV, especially Jeeves & Wooster, All Creatures Great and Small, and of course, Dr. Who. MY FAVE FAVE OF ALL TIME IS A SERIES CALLED "DEAD LIKE ME". If anyone has CDs of seasons 1 & 2, please contact me if you would like to swap.

Anything fun you think I might like!

Pearl Ex powder (small samples of different colors)

Push molds with faces or body parts on them.

Anything with Goldfish or Koi on it or shaped like a goldfish.

Acrylic (unmounted) stamps and stamp pads.

background or texture stamps

Dominos for altering

Small charms or beads, especially in mermaid colors or with a mermaid motif.

Unusual textured yarns I can use to decorate altered items.(Small pieces, not a whole skein)

I have started making mini shrines, and really like it.
I am trying my hand at making goddess pins and dolls.
Dotee Dolls are super!
Matchboxes have taken over my life!
Row Houses are the Best! Can you tell I'm willing to try new things???

I love to read and read 3-4 books a week, as well as 2-3 books on tape. My favorite author is Anne McCaffrey. Sadly, she is not writing any longer, but her son Todd has begun to continue her most popular series, "The Dragonriders of Pern". I also like a lot of Mercedes Lackey's books. Terry Pratchett is also a favorite, I love his "Discworld" series and the spinoffs. I also like Kerry Greenwood's "Phryne Fischer" series, which has just started to be republished in the US.

Weeellll, all I can say is "I'm a Parrothead!"

Note: I mail out on Wednesday and Friday and I pick up my mail on Friday only.
