Hi everyone!! My name is Joy and I have just re-located from Michigan to Alabama with my husband (Scott) and two children (Trever) who is 8 and (Gracie) who is 4. I have pictures of all of us on my myspace profile listed above in case anyone is interested to know a little more about me. I promise not to flake if given a chance to participate and I will make sure that everything I swap would be something I would want to receive myself. I love giving and getting surprises and always do my best to exceed expectations when making and presenting gifts. I am constantly making and giving little things to family and friends and I am really excited to be part of this community!!

I am really liking country music lately!! Mid 90's to current. Rolling Stones are my absolute favorite Group of all time. When I was a little girl, I honestly thought that I was destined to marry Mick Jaggar, :)

I love romance novels that are set back in the 1800's.

Twilight

Harry Potter

I have another list of likes for certain groups that I am involved with but everything won't fit here so I will start with the basics. Fellow group Members, Please contact me for other likes!!

NOTE: If You receive a swap package from me, and you believe that it does not meet the minimum swap requirements, PLEASE PM or EMAIL me right away so that I can fix it for you. Communications is Critical. please,please allow me a chance to fix it for you before rating me. I promise to do the same for everyone I swap with.

NOTE: I do smoke cigarettes occasionally and I do have one short haired Kitty Cat. I don't smoke around my crafting supplies nor do I allow our Kitty around my crafts, but I wanted to make sure that these things were noted here.

OK, On to the favorites :) I just started Scrapbooking and Journal Decorating.I also started into collecting Ephemera. Not used stamps, but nice pieces.
