I always send my swaps early or a day or 2 in advance, and I always rate. I like to receive the same respect.

I enjoy creating greeting cards and handmade paper creations. I'm a 48 yr young mother of 4 grown children (3 girls, ages 27, 25 and 22, and a son, age 23), and grandmother ("Mima") of 3 boys (twins ages 5, and their younger brother who's 2). I'm looking for greeting card swaps, postcard swaps, and other misc fun stuff

Classic rock; Andrea Bocelli (have you heard this man's voice???); disco (yes, I'm a 70's child); "big hair" bands (Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Scorpions, etc., etc., etc.)

CSI (the original) and CSI Miami, Speeders, Smoking Gun-World's Dumbest . . ., Seinfeld, most anything on Court TV (now TruTV), Cold Case, The First 48, Extreme Forensics, Law & Order SVU and CI. Yeah, I'm a forensics addict. If I could do it over again . . .

Anything by Ann Rule and John Grisham; true crime stories

Comedy, thrillers, chick flicks, stand up comedians (Ron White, Ellen D, Margaret Cho, Bill Engall)

I love making personal greeting cards for family and friends; made 30 baby shower popcorn boxes that read "ready to pop" party favors; made 7 mini purses that displayed "I Love NY" for a friend's daugther's Sweet 16', 6 mini Easter baskets for the girls at the office, 15 teapots for a friend who is hosting a tea party. I'm going to participate in a craft fair in the summer so I'm constantly "at work" on "samples" when I get home in the evenings. It's very relaxing. I made my own "business cards" too.

I LOVE reds/berries; silver, glitter, metallic colors; I like purple because my oldest daughter got me hooked on it when she was a toddler.

LIKES

I love the sent of Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo and any baby scents, etc.; the smell of oranges; the scent of clean linen candles, sprays. Love hearts, stars, carousels, unicorns, fairies, angels, churub angels, Vintage stuff, Spongebob. I like kind hearted, caring, honest people

WISH LIST: EMBELLISHMENTS, EMBELLISHMENTS, EMBELLISHMENTS for my cards and ATCs, to include buttons, ribbons, gems, etc.

As to foods, I love white chocolate, and choc & PB (Reese's - yum); homemade peanut butter cookies; Hershey's Kisses, Hershey's w/almonds; anything with almonds, macadamins, pecans, caramel

DISLIKES:

Raisins, mushrooms, tomatos, but I eat salsa! Rude, arrogant, know it alls; back stabbers; drama queens/kings; people who have children and neglect them

My children and grandsons are the most important people. Of course, my husband is too . . . but I love children. I made the boys mini easter baskets for Easter, and am working on my daughter's bridal shower invitation.
