This Profile will be updated often!! Last Updated 11/04/09

I am placing the swaps I am missing on top so others can see who is potentially flaking. At the bottom of my profile is a list of Tags I am involved with if you want to look for those.

Missing Swaps:

Refrigerator magnet Swap International; @daarhon marked sent on 9/19 nothing received as of yet

I am out of town right now dealing with family issues. I will be away for a month (est November 28th). If you are wondering about why a swap has not been rated it is because I am not home to see that it has arrived. Please be patient with me and I will rate as soon as I return home!! I will continue to send out my swaps I am still in so please do not worry about being flaked on!! If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

I rate as soon as I receive. So if you have not been rated after sending me something please PM me to make sure I received your item/s. Also if you have a problem with something you have not received from me please contact me asap as I send things out right away, I do not procrastinate on these things.

I AM A RECYCLERS, RE-USER AND A REGIFTER. THE WORLD IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT I DO WHAT I CAN TO TRY TO KEEP IN HERE FOR MY FUTURE GENERATIONS. I REUSE PACKAGING AND ENVELOPES AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN!!!

I am an at home mom to 4 wonderful children. In this technology driven world I am trying to teach my children what it was like to give and receive mail from the post office and not just email. My eldest daughter is a budding artist and a wonderful baker who is very interested in swapping.

I really love shoes and socks. I collect shoe figurines.I love all things Parisian (spent time in Paris and miss it). I prefer music over TV as well as a good book. I make flannel quilts when my sewing machine is not on the blink. I love making spa and gift baskets up. I have a passion for cooking and have a very extensive recipe collection and I always welcome new recipes to make it that much larger. I love to scrapbook.

My husband loves to bake. He is always making things with his hands and helping the kids with projects. Would love to find something to swap for him.

My Daughter and I will be doing most of the swapping

I do not really have a favorite type of music. I listen to just about anything. I love to hear music from all over the world. Some of my favorite artists are Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Kid Loco, Linkin Park, Damien Rice, Jack Johnson, Depeche Mode, Blank and Jones, Sneaker Pimps and Peter Gabriel.

I am a John Hughes junky! (16 candles, pretty in pink, breakfast club)

I stand by Great Expectations being my favorite book of all time. I have favorite authors that I like to read. James Patterson, Tami Hoag, Anne Fraiser, John Grisham, and Jodi Picoult to name a few. I like mystery books and thrillers as well. I really like the Twilight series. I do not read mushy type books and am not a fan of romance novels.

I am her oldest daughter, and this is my family... My mom (Nicci) is cool and she absolutely loves shoes and fashion. She even has a beauty license so she does hair, makeup, etc.. And she likes to listen to any type of music, especially the kind you can blare and bust your speakers. My dad (Randy) is a garden freak. if hes not outside working on our garden, hes inside playing farm town and farmville. he also loves to cook, bake and is a collector of coca cola items. My little brother Evan is 13 and he's a football (US) player. He likes Pink Floyd and third eye blind. He likes psp games and loves to play video games. He also loves to build things and work on cars with Dad. Miranda is my little 12 year old sister. She is a little bit of a tomboy but she is adorable when she dresses girly. She likes animals along with keeping them as pets (like frogs). She loves to play football as well and she plays basketball. Miranda is into extreme sports and plans to go skydiving when she hits 18. And she likes to read, mostly little house on the prairie. My littlest brother is Brenden and he is 9 years old. He LOVES racing games, especially Mario cart on the wii. He likes Nascar and wants to be in it sometime when he is old enough. He is a cheerleader. Brenden likes tools and likes to build stuff. He is learning how to work on cars like his older brother and dad. He likes to watch movies with cars and car chases and car shows and stuff like that ( all the fast and furious movies and the transporter movies.) I (Alyssa) am 16. I love to listen to rock, industrial, soft rock, grunge, and classic rock music. I like to read books by Jack Kerouac, James Patterson and Erin Hunter. I also like to bake and decorate beautiful cakes. I absolutely love to paint with watercolors and acrylics. I also color with pastels and draw awesome pictures. We have 5 dogs and 2 cats. Our dogs: Einstein is a huge black Russian terrier who loves to chew on bricks and dig holes in our back yard. he also likes to sit on your lap even though he is HUGE. Ginger is our little white and brindle colored mini pit bull. She is the sweetest thing and loves to be pet. Noussa, Monet and Corona are our dogs we rescued from the side of the road. Each one is spoiled rotten. Out kittens Chagall and Chaz are also spoiled and still very little.

We do not watch a lot of TV in our house. We tend to do more outdoor things and things that do not involve sitting on the couch doing nothing. We are a pretty active household. We spend a good amount of time volunteering for local organizations. We are socially conscious and believe in giving back. We try to grow as much of our own food as possible and try to live a vegetarian life but some of us refuse to give up meat. :-) We like to travel as much as we can, even if it is just a day trip.

I cannot handle vanilla scented things (give me migraines)

I am not a huge fan of chocolate. My family loves it but I can only eat it in major moderation. I prefer gummie candies and love sour and fruity candies. I am allergic to Shrimp and Peanut butter Please keep this in mind when sending me recipes. Also I prefer a vegetarian lifestyle but all my family except one other person eats meat in my home.

I am not into the "country" decor, where I live it is everywhere and I like to have a little bit different taste from everyone else.

Not a Disney fan (my youngest is though), do not like the simpsons, University of Louisville (sorry I am a University of Kentucky Fan)

Candles, Music, the color Pink, Glitter stuff (I am a girlie girl), socks, purses, socks, scented oils and incense, antique dishes and colored glass items, homemade soaps, bath and body items, make up, and homemade things that are made from recycling different materials, Hello Kitty and bento things.I collect wind chimes and would love some from other countries.

I love chop sticks and Asian influenced art. Scrap-booking, stationary and pens. I LOVE HOMEMADE ENVIES AND STICKERS!!!!!For non material things I love my small family of friends (I miss you guys)!!

My Husband LOVES coffee (non flavored, greasy, dark flavorful beans). We have a grinder so if you want you can send beans. My children all love tea especially Evan. I am a soft drink a-holic. I like peach nehi and rockin rye faygo. These are hard finds in Kentucky.My Husband would love to get some uno candy bars, he loves them and because they are not sold around here has not had one in almost 3 years.
