10-08-10 I'm taking a little break from SB. I'm tired of all of the nastiness and pettiness that goes on here. I will still be active in one or two groups but that's it. =(

Please Note! I have changed my username. My name on here used to be "dBowie"!

Fabric! I LOVE IT!!

Fabric choices are normally:

• soft pastels, small prints
• polka dots
• when in doubt..any shade of purple/lavender is perfect!
• love brown/pink combo and brown/blue combo

I can always use:

• 5 inch charm squares
• 2.5 inch charm squares
• Fat Quarters
• nursery rhyme fabrics
• LOVE 1930's repro prints

• I am highly allergic to bees~but I love Honey Pots!
• I dislike snakes/bats
• I have a strange aversion to honeycombs
• I love to label things (can u say anal retentive lol)
• I LOVE ziploc baggies (big or little-weird, huh!) HOWEVER due to them being so bad for the environment..I am trying my hardest to switch to fabric-reusable baggies!
• I am a stuff hoarder~aka pack-rat!
• I do not like tea but I love tea pots!
• I LOVE little miniature things. My mom talks about all the little "tiny" things I'd accumulate when I was young. Some things you just don't outgrow!

I do angel my own swaps that I host, but sometimes it does take me a little while, so please be patient with me! ALSO if you are RUDE and DEMANDING I will NOT be angeling anything for you!
