About Me

Hi

Jan 6 2012- taking another needed medical break- have screenshot my ratings.

Nov 30- I am going to be in surgery in 5 hours to remove more cancer tumors. round three-yeehaw

My dashboard is empty and i have rated all swaps I have received. See below.

September 2011- I am going to start swapping again. I am sure I have hundreds, maybe thousands, of unread messages. I am going to start clean and go to September 23 and read forward from there. Since most of the messages are about swaps already over I am not going to go back and read from the beginning of the year. Can't wait to get reacquainted with old friends and make new friends.

Please NO FB.

If I owe you a rating please send a message with the swap name and a description of what you sent- seems the rating reminders I am getting are for swaps already rated and I am not getting reminders for those not rated and a few I have rated are not showing up on people's profiles. 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. If I owe you a rating PLEASE send me a pm and DESCRIBE what you had sent

"Live like you are dying." I have now been treated for cancer twice. And chemo has almost killed me twice. Enjoy every day of your life and your loved ones. The time you spend lamenting over swaps steals from your enjoying time. Thanks Bonnie

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- due to cancer treatment I have a very restricted diet and can't handle many fragrances. Thanks

Comment: Thank you for the scarecrow. It was not what i thought a dotee would be as it is not stuffed but it will be a wonderful ornament. Thank you for the time you took to make him/her. I appreciate the creativity you put into it.
Response: I actually unstuffed him because i thought he looked more 'scarecrow like' that way.
