3 Doors Down

Godsmack

Audioslave

Kenny Chesney

George Strait

Tool

Staind

Queensryche

Alice in Chains

I also love 80's Metal and English Pop

Pretty in Pink

The Departed

Wayne's World

My Blue Heaven

I am a fan of 'Stupid Comedies' and 80's flicks!

Favorite Television

I am addicted to that new ABC daytime show 'The Chew'...Michael Symon is such a hottie...

I also enjoy:

Family Guy

Two and A Half Men

$40 a Day

Beverly Hills 90210

Seinfeld (Still!!)

My Name is Earl

Law and Order (& SVU)

Paranormal State

Golden Girls

Old sitcoms from the 80's too!!

Favorite Crafts

Scrappin Making cards Altering anything I can find!!

I am a girlie girl and love all things glittery and flowered!! Pink and lime green are my favorite colors! I also like black and white and earth toned elements as well, since the seem to go with everything!!

Lately I have become very into 'repurposing' crafty items- so don't be surprised if your Inchies, ATC's, Bookmarks, etc....have strange writing on the back..I can't seem to throw away things like note cards, greeting cards, or the cardboard backing from scrapbook supplies without cutting them up first!!

When I am bored I find myself cutting ATC and Inchie blanks and adding them to my stash.

I also admit that I will sometimes take embellishments off or add embellishments to swap items I've recieved in the past, and repurpose those as well, not being lazy, just being creative!!!

Flaker Wall of Shame

I just have two words for anyone who enjoys the benefit of getting a swap item made for you, delievered to your home for you to enjoy, but then decides for some reason or another to NOT return the favor for your assigned partner and choses to ignore any correspondence from said partner regarding the missing swap....

FLAKE OFF!!!

My Neices and Nephew

I sign up for kid's swaps whenever I can, because my neices and nephew love doing crafts with me! So I thought I'd share a few things about them here so if your kids get them as a partner in a swap, they can send things that they will enjoy!

Madison is 11. She is really into soccer and has been playing Goalie for years. So she would love anything soccer themed. The name of her team is the Stars so she loves things with stars on them as well. She also likes Mustangs (the car..lol..especially yellow ones) Her favorite colors are yellow and blue. She is not really into typical 'girlie' things like flowers, pink and purple...She has been to Ireland and loves Irish things too..she would love to get postcards, maps or other items from your area with her swaps!

Kaidan is 7 and she is a little Girlie Girl! She loves rainbows, flowers, hearts, Hello Kitty, dogs, Loves pink and purple...she is currently taking Irish Step Dance classes and has visited Ireland- she loves learning new things and she also loves to read!

Liam is 4 (thats him as a baby in my profile pic)He is a Disney addict! Takes after his Mom! He has already been to Disney World 5 times! Loves Cars, Toy Story (Woody and Buzz are his faves!) He also has a fixation with Aliens and Robots, though I am not sure why!! He also loves Scooby Doo and the Boston Sports teams!

Stuff I Would Rather Not Get

I love and can use almost anything with the following exceptions: NOT into Sanrio, Kawaii or Zentangled Stuff...if you send this it will not be used by me and will just be passed along..thanks! I love tea, but NOT Black tea And I do not like anything with artificial sugars like candy or drink mixes, etc...
