About Me

I am a mother of two little girls (6&7). They keep me extremely busy. I work full-time as a Director of a Pharmacy School. I love crafting and cooking. I use it as stress relief. I love to make things and I would everyday if I could.

I like to sit with friends and talk about dreams and life. I LOVE to eat and cook. I like a glass of wine with my evening meal, so if you have recommendations, send them my way.

I am a Pinterest addict. THERE, I admit it! I have over 3,000 pins. It will take a lifetime to go through or try everything that I WANT to do on there.

I am a huge VAMPIRE fan! I have been since the 80's with Lost Boys.I was waaaayyy to young to watch it when it came out, but I had an older brother and sister that snuck past my mom and we watched it on VHS. LOL.

My love grew for Paranormal Literature when I read the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlene Harris.

I love anything "techi" and thinkgeek.com is one of my favorite websites for fun gadgets. My husband works as an IT Specialist and I work in the Communications section of the Pharmacy school which includes graphic design, photography, websites, and digital media. I am also extremely social and he would rather uhmmm..not. :) We have been married for almost 17 years. We are high school sweethearts.

Favorite Music

I love all kinds of music. REALLY, I like it all.

Favorite Books

I love, love, love to read.

I am a big fan of these authors.

Charlene Harris Stephanie Myers Francine Rivers Lyndsay Sans Nicholas Sparks

I like mysteries All cook books, new and old

Favorite Television

I love the Food Network and TrueBlood. Weird mix I know. Just don't have much time for TV with kids, school, and crafts.

Favorite Crafts

My favorite crafts are making old things new. I also like making things to make people say wow, that is cool. I make necklaces, scarves, mini doll accessories, stationery, monogram things...the list goes on and on.

I like scrapbooking supplies and stickers. For the home, I like DIY crafts and pottery barn inspired ideas.

I am just starting to learn how to sew. I got a new sewing machine. I learned how to thread it. That is progress.

Loves/Likes.........

Vampire stuff (doesn't matter) Hello Kitty (the girls), Buttons (any kid big or small), fabirc scrap material (i can make fabric buttons) Minature things, Books, Books, Books, Cook Books and Cooking, Costume Jewlery, Beads, Recipes, DIY Cards, dollarstorecrafts :) , craft ideas, written letters, the smell of summer rain, long naps, THE BEACH (because I live in the mountains), THE MOUNTAINS (because they are home).

I'm your partner for leave a comment #6...

I love the beach too, but I like to ocean because better than just the lake..Lake Erie which is right by me is known for it's dirty lake and beaches, Lake MI is nice though, but I still prefer the ocean beaches..And I live in MI, the coldest state ever I feel:)

Have a Great DAy:)

My name is Jeni and you are one of the people I got for Leave A Nice Comment #6 swap. I noticed we have a few things in common. I love Food Network as well. Although it drives my husband crazy because it always makes him hungry. I also love beads, buttons, written letters, naps and so much more. I hope you continue to get lots of goodies on Swap-Bot.

gummyrat on Oct 25, 2011:

Hello! I'm in the Leave A Nice Comment #6 swap :)

I really liked reading your profile :D I love that you love to cook :) I do as well! I get that from my mom :) Do your little girls enjoy helping you cook?

The smell of summer rain is deff one thee best smells out there! My best friend's back yard is the Superstitious Mountains. She always sends me pretty pictures of them and it just is so amazing that something that beautiful exists all over the world :) It must be nice :) Have you ever gone hiking up a mountain?

Happy Swapping, -Pixie

Wow! Congratulations on earning your master's degree! You must be busy all the time between that and your little ones! Crafting is, indeed, a good reliever of stress. I hope you are enjoying swap-bot so far!

Hi there!

Yay, another newbie like me! I hope you’re enjoying swapbot too :)

You sound like a really creative person and I share your love for cooking. What’s your favourite thing to cook? I like making cakes mostly and browsing cookbooks for the pretty pictures!

I admire you for doing a masters, I hope I’ll do one in the future. At least with your girls and hobbies you have lovely things for distractions when the workload piles up :)

You live in the mountains? Sounds beautiful. I live in the countryside which looks so pretty in the summer, but not so practical getting around when in snows in winter!

Hopefully I’ll bump into you again sometime! Take care, Livvy x
