Helloooo there! My name is Patricia and I am a part time preppy living in Land O Lakes Florida {no, this is not where they make the butter} I tell people I live in Tampa usually to get around the 5 minute butter dicussion.

I love Pink, Navy and Green, fuzzy puppies and paper crafting. I have about $1000 invested in scrapbooking but I don't have 1 page completed. Now I am working on cardmaking and that seems to be going about the same way. I love colored paper! I don't have much patterned paper. I also love textured paper. I wish I had more blue glitter. I hate rubber stamps! I have never gotten the hang of it and they always turn into a mess.

I love reading! I read like a fiend. I'm in a book club and we started tracking our hours and I average 300 hours a month! FICTION, yeah! Lately I have been addicted to mysteries and suspense. I don't read non-fiction unless forced and I hate paperback books cause the print is to little.

I have been a sort of hermit for the past 5 years since I retired so I joined the Womens Club and some meetup groups to make friends and get out of the house some. I just turned 41, eek and I am married with no children.

I love doughnuts but since I am a roundy have made a resolution to only eat them twice a month.

Oh, Please no food or teas or coffees in my swap packages...I recently received a large clump of chocolate and it has totally turned me off food swaps for now ;)

I don't know how to sew well but I have been practicing and I would like to learn to crochet.

I would like to learn to quilt and make a big toasty one out of Lilly Pulitzer squares for my bed.

My most favorite thing in the world is to go to the mailbox! LOVE LOVE LOVE Snail mail is the best.

My blog address is above, Have a great day!
