For those who are running swaps: Because of financial reasons I will do only 1 swap a month at most, and less if they are expensive swaps. Please don't drop me from the swap because I have not been active enough. I had to save the money to do your swap and dropping me just makes me sad that I even bothered to save the money at all.

I am 26 years old. I am married with 2 kids (one 3 year old girl and one 1 year old boy). More info about the kids can be found on my blog.

Craftiness: Knitting, weaving, sewing, crocheting, dyeing, spinning and other fibery crafts.

I also do some scrapbooking.

Mostly I am just crafty and like to make things.

Warning: My email address seems to think EVERYTHING is spam so PLEASE contact me via the swap-bot message system.

Classical mostly. I like Christian Praise and worship music too. Jennifer Knapp and other artist like her.

Bible, Narnia books, Craft related books. I really love stitch dictionaries for knitting and crochet. I read a lot of child rearing books from Christian authors and like Bible studies.

I don't own a TV. We do have a projector and a Wii though so that sometimes gets used as a TV.

I watch Bones online, and Stargate SG1, but that is really it. Netflix is my friend.

Narnia, LOTR's, and lots of classic children's TV like Classic Winnie the Pooh (like from when I was a kid). Seems you can't find them in the TV section when I look to buy them, they are in the movie section...

I use natural fibers for the most part: cottons, flax, bamboo, silk, wool, ect. If it comes from a plant or animal I am golden. If it is mostly from a plant or animal it is usually all good.

I really am good with all colors. I personally wear jewel tones and bright tones of violet, blue, green and magentas.

I like wild variegations, subtle variegations and even solids so anything usually works.

Please read allergies

Have fun. Either in a envelope or not your choice.

Please read allergies.

Stickers: I do scrapbook so I would like archival safe. Other than that, again I want G-rated. Ask if you have questions...

Stamps: I would like to scrapbook with it so archival safe.

Scrapbook: I like blues, greens, yellows, golds, violets, magentas, pinks and all sorts of stuff for scrapbooking.

Please read allergies.

I am highly allergic to: Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis)

It will give me a rash that caused my skin to look like I have boils that will eventually burst and ooze blood. It then takes 2 or 3 weeks to heal. Please read all labels to make sure what you are sending me does not have this. It can be found in: candles, lotions, soaps, body scrubs, some bottled drinks, shampoos, conditioners, makeup, and sometimes is even used to coat yarns to make them feel softer (usually acrylics but other things as well).

It is usually in hypoallergenic products so PLEASE read labels.

Thank you.

Well, if you can't find enough to fit into a box from all the above information.. I'll give you some more, I love chocolate (darker the better and regional if possible), coffee (especially regional, flavored, unground types), tea (black, green, flavored... any teas... all teas...), dried fruits (I like to try what is grown regionally), candles (hubby likes herb and spice scents), lipbalms, and lotions. Read allergies before sending.

I decorate my house in all shades of blue and greens (esp, love blue greens, green blues and gray green or gray blue colors). Also use brown as my preferred neutral. My kitchen is decorated in coffee/tea. I like fancy tea cups and tea pots and unique coffee mugs.
