About Me

FOR THE Dec. BIRTHDAY CARD SWAP PLEASE SEND THE CARD TO MY HUSBAND SCOTT. I enetered this for him to get something in the mail for his b-day, he really needs something like this to brighten his day. thank you so much

I am 29, and married to a awsome man!! He as helped me so much and is always there when you need him most. I have a 3yr old son that as shown more strengh in his 3 years than most have to show in a life time. He was born at 21 weeks and 5 days weighing 1lb 5.oz and 10in long. He had a rough first year and had to fight for his life. Now he is a happy healthy 3 year old that there is no stopping or slowing down. He is the light of our lifes!! I get to stay at home with him and we enjoy are days and do many crafts. I love my sons art work and collect it all. We love making stuff together. I am a open person an and don't look down on any body. We are all our on selfs and know what makes us happy. LIFE IS TO BE ENJOYED, in the way that makes us happy!! My aunt says i'm an old soul. I am the Creative Activities Leader of MOPS (Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers) and really love being envolved with such wonderful women.. I eat a lot of candy, desserts, and love chocolate of any kind!!! Would love to try some chocolate from other countrys ecspecially Europe. I am always looking for a new craft or art project to do. That is one of my goals of being on here. Finding new things to do that I havn't thought or heard of yet. And I have to say it looks promising, like ATC's, i can't wait to make one. And making somthing great out of matchboxs looks like a whole lot of fun. I hope I don't over do any of this, but every thing I see says a well filled out profile so I will try.

My Favorite Things!!

Just a little list of the things I enjoy!! I love purpel, greens and blues, red, black, and tans, bronws, natural colors. Vintage fabric, aprons, toys, wood, peices, furniture, quilt blocks, okay any thing that is vintage I LOVE IT!!! Any thing to do with crafts I use it , want it, and will buy it. I like to TRY to garden, it looks more like a rock garden, but I like to attract the birds and butterflys. I love to paint canvas, walls, figurines, clay, wood. If you can paint it I do. I love to drink Hot teas, I will try any tea out there and have only found a few that i don't care for. I collect butterflys, cows, small trinckets, old make up cases, angels, fairies, gothic fairies, vitage hankies, aprons, rocks or stones, beads, thimbles,and bird houses. I have a lot of magnets and make my own often. Painted rocks make great ones!! I love old jewlrey, like broches, necklaces, and braclets. I love rings that open (poison rings) they are always uniqe. I like to make the little Fairy doors. My fav scents are, fresh, citrius, light floral, sandle wood, earthy in a good way. No musk or vannila, can't stand it! Love lavender, chamomile, cucumber, and fruits. I like pic of odd things, flowers, people and mountin scens. Clouds, and awsome sun sets. In person and painted. i like to take pics of loved ones, not good at it but I have a ton a pics. (need to get some scrapbooking done) but havn't done so in 2 years. Quilting is my reasent adventure and I am enjoying it. I hope to make 3 small quilts by Christmas, and have a lot of fabric cut and ready to go. I am a chcolate fan, any thing sweet and drink a lot of hot teas.We have to many sweets in the house but we enjoy it. Making it and eating. And a coke every once in a while. Of course my family and friends are high on my list. I enjoy reading quotes and have them all around me to ready or give out to people who might need a uplifting or a laugh. I like finding Blogs that have useful fun info in them. My fav is WhiMSy love, she is great!! and any good craft blog. tipnutt.com is a must have thing for me, I get so much good stuff from there and would not know what to do with out it now... I enjoy good bath stuff, and make it often. I also love going to the Natruel store and love herbs, they smell great and do good things... I love to cook, well bake sweet things and help my husband cook. But i don't like to make dinner by myself. I have a large collection or cook books and add more often. Glass wear, tea cups sets, vases, plates and E6000 (a great glue) will always put a smile on my face. And jars, oh how i love jars (with corks or lids) i use them for my bath prducts and a few other things. And one more thing, i always wear funny odd socks. I love them. As long as there not just plane jane white socks they make me smile :)

Favorite Music

I enjoy all music!! Some more than others. Country, pop, r&b, soul, christian, gospel, blue grass, instrumental, opra, oldies, classic, 60's, 70's, 80's, and pop. And there is some really good Childrens music out there that I am coming to enjoy a great deal... I have lived my life with music around me at all times. As a child we had so many people at our house all the time and there was always dancing and music. Up untill age 13 almost every Sunday was spent at great grandmothers house with the WHOLE family and there instruments singing and playing all afternoon. That was are Sunday dinner time. I can see the point of few in all music and some sounds better than others to me but it is all Great to some one.

Favorite Books

I like magazines, I can look through when i like and put it down when I need to with out feeling like I need to pic it right away. I use to read novels, but since I had my son i just don't get the time to really get in to them any more. When I read I get lost in it and that just don't work right now. I do read my Bible and some short stories, and blogs. But mostly magazines, craft books and cook books.

Favorite Television

House, Desperate House Wifes although i havn't seen one show this season it's on the DVR, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Ghost Whisperer, Good Eats, Ace of Cakes, Doll House, I wish they still had the Sarah Cronicale files "Terminater" and Moonlight, I loved them and i amd mad that there gone. DIY network, Food network and the DISC channel. I do watch Soaps but I can go a day or two with out doing so and be okay with it. I like a lot of shows and we DVR many so we can watch later. Most of the time there is two on at same time so we record one to watch the other. I think we watch to much TV now, but i love my shows!

Favorite Crafts

I sew, quilt, paint, and turn old things in to something new, clay work, build bird houses. I do a lot of kid crafts with my son, and come up with ideas for moms to do with there children. So anything to do with kiddie crafts I do and have. Making magnets with rocks, stones, glass, old forks, spoons, Mini pic fram, mini any thing, dried flowers, buttons, and antything I think would make a nice one. I also like to make jewlry, beading, wire and hand made clay beads. I have been trying to make thimbels, i'll have to get back to you on if it's going well and becoms a hobby, LOL.... I also love to make bath salts, scrubs, lotions, perfumes. I also like to mix paints to make new ones, I know it's odd but I rather enjoy creating new colors. ;) I like to turn glass wear that I get at thrift stores and yard sells into other things. Like taking a old vase and a nice vintage plate glueing together to make a cake plate. Or turning tea cups & saucers into a bird or butterfly bath/drinking cup that you put in the garden. Making neat stuff out of felt, and making sock puppets. Making dream catchers

Things I don't enjoy!

There is not too much, I am allergic to Latex, hopps, green bell peppers and bananas, yes bananas. I am deathly allergic and can not come with in 10 feet of were they have once laid. It is awful, my husband loves them and my son as never even tasted of one yet. I don't like sweet tea, my family things it is odd. I'm from the south and love sweets. But sweet tea is is not good to me at all. Well cold sweet tea, I will add honey to my hott teas, YUMMY!! I don't like when people look down on others for any reasson. We all have our falts. I am not into real girly things and don't like the bubble gum pink color. I don't like polka-dots, they look like they need smushed. No ruffles or yucky pastels (purpel is fine) I don't need Cute stickers, please no lisa frank, hello kitty, or any of the stuff similer, i'm not sure what it is even called

Loves to read so books are great.. Up to first grade level is fine for now. Likes the shows wow wow wubbzy, The backyardingas,Oobi, Max & Ruby, Disney anything and the wonder pets. He loves GREEN and blue, red, & orange. he loves his shoes, he really likes converse, his fav pair is a green pair. He wears a 10 in toddlers for shoes. He likes painting and all kinds of kid crafts and bugs too.

My husband is Scott, he loves planes. He flys them as a hobby. He likes car and plane magazines. He is into metal work, he welds. And does woodwork. His birthday is the 25th of December, and he really does not like Christmas time. People seem to forget about him and it bothers him. So if you want to send any thing in Dec. for him that would be great!! If you sent him anything I guss it could be gloves, men-extra large. Pictures of Plans, deer or wild life for his "man cave" Hot cocoas and any Exteamly sour candy you can find. If you now of some from were you are please send it. He loves it and as tried it all from here so we are having a hard time finding new stuff for him. And suor skittles or war heads from USA are not sour to him. He loves to cook so any thing cooking related is great. And he makes the best hard candies so any thing for that or recipes for all candy would be awsome. Home made Ice cream recipes too. If you have the Orange Crush Ice cream rec. please PM me with it or I will trade for it. His grandma use to make it and he can not find the rec. so that would be a nice suprise for him. He as looked for the last 12 years I have known him and longer.

Comment: May given these a try - just not good with roll outs, to impatient. Jo
Response: i wish I would have sent the Triple Chocolate financiers like I wanted to. I was having trouble getting it to fit on the pc. The pic of them was so much nicer too. If you think you might like it i can email it to you or send it out in a letter. The vanilla cookies are veary good though and you don't have to make them fancy just use a round glass to cut them out or a pizza cutter and make rectangle ones. Thank you for the rate and have agreat week!!
