Hi

Please NO FB.

I have had several rating glitches- I had someone say she was not rated yet and when I checked there wasn't one. I remember the comment I originally wrote with my rating, so i know I did it. This has happened three times at least, If I owe you a rating PLEASE send me a pm and DESCRIBE what you had sent.

See bottom of profile for swaps sent and not yet rated- updated Aug 3-everything listed has not been rated as of today

"Live like you are dyin'"

Update-5/1- I now have a new permanent side effect from the radiation-yahoooooooooooooooo! As most of you know, I have medical issues- rectal cancer/side effects of chemo. My butt doctor recently used the term collateral damage- I had never thought of it like that but that exactly describes chemotherapy- how much of the good is gonna get killed taking out the enemy. Anyhow- I am gonna keep living as if I am ok- after all, any one of us could die any day.

Enjoy every day of your life and your loved ones. The time you spend lamenting over swaps steals from your enjoying time. Thanks Bonnie

Update Aug- i now have nodules on both lungs-CANCER SUCKS!

About Me

I'm a mom of two from Illinois- about an hour SW of Chicago.

I enjoy gardening, hiking, traveling-anywhere, sewing and crafting.

I collect things with Bees-my middle name is Bea.

I also love beads and cool fibers to make Dotee dolls.

I have a new addiction-Doodads- what I call those little things in Whimsy Jars and matchboxes-brads, beads, buttons, die cuts, sparkly things, charms. Kids' jewelry sometimes has the cutest flower and heart doodads.

I love anything Christmas- I have 15 artificial themed trees- plus THE REAL TREE- a live short needle to put vacation ornaments and things made by the kids on and the presents under. Snowmen, woodland santas and animals in plaids; anything santas, angels in white/beige and metallics. I HAVE A DOTEE TREE :)

I also love Walt Disney World- I can spend hours just looking at all of the detail that has gone into creating every attraction.

i have a thing for whimsical creatures- probably why I like Disney so much (my fav. is the characters/scenes on Splash Mountain-Braer rabbit, et al. Fairies(Tink), gnomes, brownies elves, unicorns, dragons, pixies, pegasus, sprites, sirens, nymphs, mermaids and mermen, etc.

I sew- both fashion and quilting (piecing, paper piecing, crazy); decorative painting ala D. Dewberry; beading-jewelry and crazy quilts/atcs; soft sculpture- dolls, animals; ornament making of all kinds.

I am pretty good at just about anything crafty except knitting and crocheting.

Colors- Reds, All blues, Jewel tones, soft greens, Red/purple/lime together

Please do not send food items or scents- i am recovering from cancer treatment and have a very restricted diet and can't handle many fragrances. Thanks
