Tachy

Hi! I'm Beth, I am 24, and I live in a small town near Toledo, Ohio. I'm engaged to a lovely boy from Nebraska named Andrew. We live in a small house by a big muddy river.

I spend a lot of time on the computer. In fact, it is my job! I work for a silly web 2.0 company, which is fun.

I love to read, write, listen to music, and even make some of my own. I play video games a lot. It's one of my favorite things to do when I have time. I own an xbox 360, a PS3, a Wii, and a DS Lite and I love them all.

When I'm not doing any of that, I also love to go geocaching. (if you don't know what it is, I highly recommend googling it!)

I'm relatively obsessed with my blackberry. It's kind of my lifeline. I use it for everything from scheduling, texting, and keeping a to-do list, to playing games with friends, and using the GPS to Geocache! Getting my blackberry has also cut down on the amount of paper I use for things like To-do lists and notes too!

I love Hello Kitty and wrist and arm warmers more than almost anything. They are definitely my two favorite things, though I've yet to see them combined. I have an obsession with lip gloss which leads me to have way too much of it. Usually if I look around me at any given time, I've got at least 4 tubes of different lip glosses close enough to grab. I've not ventured into making my own gloss yet, though I would love to try that someday.

I'm a compulsive list maker and always have a list for everything from what I have to do today, next week, next month, to books I want to read, movies I want to see, movies I have seen, games I am playing...everything.

I like to sew. I can make barbie size doll clothes (though they are really for a pullip, which means they are slightly smaller than barbie clothes), I love to make pouches, cozies, and bags. I've recently started making headbands from cute fabrics out of my stash.

I also like to make bath and body products. Soap is my favorite, but I also make lotion, bubble bath, shower gel, bath bombs/fizzies, and bath salt.

I've also tried to knit and crochet (with the hopes of making my own wrist warmers), but found I really wasn't that great at it. I don't have the patience for that, and sometimes can't really wrap my mind around how I'm supposed to make 1 continuous piece of yarn into a wearable garment. I always get frustrated before I can get very far. I want to try knitting again sometime soon, and have a "learn to knit" kit, but I've been putting it off.

If you send me something please please use my real name on the outside of the package. I've had trouble receiving packages that are just addressed to my username. Thank you!

Anything that smells like smoke! I understand if you smoke but I can't handle the smell, and some items just don't ever let go of that smell. I know sometimes it happens, but if you could try to lessen the smell at all, that would be very nice.

Anything with coconut in it! I'm terribly allergic! Coconut oil seems to be okay in shampoos, but coconut oil in lip gloss is bad, so it's best to avoid it with anything that is meant to be ingested or could possibly be ingested.

Anything for babies. I don't have kids, and though I like some kidish things (hello kitty being one of them), I'm not into kids. Having babies aren't in my immediate future.

Art Supplies - I love random art supplies like markers and pencils and paints, sketchbooks, anything really.

DIY Kits of things. Be creative!

pouches for pencils!

Journaling supplies

A cute unique wallet, one that can hold some cards, and cash, and maybe even my phone!

I don't post pictures of swaps I send at flickr until my partner has received, though I might post a teaser picture. (so if you don't mind a little bit of teasing, go ahead and take a look, you won't be spoiled!)

However, I do post pictures of received swaps as soon as I receive, so if there is any reason for a picture to not be posted, send me a message!
