My name is Jessi and I am 29 years old. I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful little girl and a not so little baby boy. They are my everything. I like to read a lot, do random crafty things, take tons of pictures and play video games.

My Family
Adam and I were married on April 1st 2005, yes April Fools Day. He does everything he can to support my crafty/swapping habits. He never tells me no even if we can't afford it so I've been trying to not go too crazy with the swaps lately. So if you feel like tossing a goodie in the envelope for him I'd greatly appreciate it. His favorite color is mint green and he loves trying out flavored coffees, peanut butter cups, pocky and pretty much any type of gummy candy you can throw at him.

Paige is three and and was born on the 26th anniversary of Mount. St. Helen's eruption (5/18/06). (My brother told me this because his daughter was born on the same day the year before.) She loves playing with stickers and coloring books. She gets along pretty well with her brother (most the time). She likes looking at books and playing with her Polly Pocket dolls. She loves Elmo, Clifford, Dora and Little Einsteins.

Noah is one and a half. He was born on Veteran's Day(11/11/08) and was 10lbs 11ozs! He's my momma's boy and the strong silent type. He doesn't talk yet but like any typical boy he loves climbing anything he can and playing with his trucks. He also likes watching Dora, Diego and Little Einsteins with his sister.

Our Pets
I have a cat named Jasmin who is 10 years old and thinks she is the queen of the house. I try my best to keep her fur out of my swap/craft supplies. We also have a lovebird named Stitch and a tank of goldfish.

FB's and decos are my current obsession.

I love to cross stitch. I try to stick to smaller patterns so that I might actually finish them but I have a few bigger ones floating around. I don't have the attention span for the really big patterns although I wish I did.

I've been crocheting for about 5 years. Again, I don't really have the patience for bigger projects. I have a lot of wips sitting around for both cross stitch and crochet. I seem to have a short attention span and like to jump around between different projects.
Once in a great while I actually finish something!...Don't worry, I make sure to finish my swaps on time, I think having a deadline helps with that.

Once in a while I attempt a bit of quilting and some random paper crafts.

I will gladly do one on one swaps for just about anything, especially fabric, chunky pages, journals, FBs and decos.
