About Me

Hello. I am a 39 year old mom. I live in the mountains with my twins. A boy & a girl. They are 14 years old. I have a little home on my land. I have started a small orchard with apple, peach, cherry, & pear trees. I also have blueberries, raspberries & grapes. I enjoy gardening. I would like to have my own little farm. But not one with lots of animals. Mainly because I don't have enough room for that. We have a spoiled white cat & 2 cute bunny rabbits. I want to eventually raise chickens, & I want to learn about bee keeping. And the twins want to get a dog. Someday...

Favorite Music

I love to listen to music. My favorite are Christian & gospel. I also love 80's music. I guess I love almost any kind. I also listen to classic rock, classical, r&b, and country.

Favorite Books

I love to read! I love reading my Bible. My favorite book is To Kill A Mockingbird. I read books by Stephen King. The Stand & Cell are my favorites that he has written. I also like Frank Peretti & Ted Dekker, Jeanette Oak & Edgar Allan Poe. I really enjoyed the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye & Jerry B. Jenkins. One Second After is another of my favorite books & I like anything like it. Joyce Meyer, Billy Graham & Max Lucado are also authors I enjoy reading. I do love to read. Sitting on my back porch with a good book is one of my favorite ways to spend a lazy day. I also love children's books, especially ones with good illustrations. Even though my children are getting older & reading their own types of books (Twilight series for my daughter & history, tanks, & anything gross for my son...) we do still enjoy sitting down together with a good children's book . We love Halloween books, Christmas, animals, poetry, ghost stories... Oh, I almost forgot. Fairy Tales and Folk Tales are awesome! We love them, especially ones from other countries.

Favorite Movies

My favorite movie is Grease. I love that movie. I also like Gone With The Wind, The Stand, Grown Ups, Fly Wheel, Facing the Giants, The Last Sin Eater, House, WWJD & In His Steps. Movies I have enjoyed watching with my twins are Ice Age, Madagascar, Shrek, The Rescuers, Ghost Busters, E.T. and Transformers. I love any movie or play by Tyler Perry and so do the twins. Oh, and I love horror movies, especially zombies. Halloween is one of my favorites. The original one with Jamie Leigh Curtis. I also really like Dawn of the Dead, Night of the living Dead, The Fog, The Hills Have Eyes...

Favorite Television

My favorite television show is The Walking Dead. I can not wait for the new season to begin. The television shows I watch most are CupCake Wars, House Hunters & Joyce Meyer.

Favorite Crafts

My favorite craft would be making my scrap books. I love the pictures, the stickers, the writing. I just love everything about putting my memories on paper. I also love to cross stitch & I want to learn to crochet. I make jewelry. I love anklets and couldn't find the colors I wanted, so I started making them. I also make necklaces, earrings & bracelets. One thing I love to do is create special family nights for the twins and decorate with themes. Although this may not be considered a craft, I do spend lots of time making things, painting & being creative. And the food I serve them sometimes is in the shape of a heart or a bug or whatever goes along with the movie we watch or a poem we read together. It's just a really fun way to be creative & show love.

Genealogy

I enjoy genealogy. Although I don't have very much time to spend on it. I enjoyed the old stories my grandparents use to tell me. And I love the old pictures I have from years ago. So my family tree was just something that I began to research. I've visited most of the old cemeteries near my home. And although it may seem a little morbid, I enjoy it. It's just so peaceful.

Foods & Stuff

I love to eat. I love good organic food. And I do love to cook. I enjoy trying new recipes. I want to learn to cook traditional recipes from other countries & also, to learn about those countries with my twins. I love dark chocolate. It's my favorite. I do not like banana flavored candy, white chocolate, or candy with peanuts. I like about any kind of vegetable. My favorite drinks would be water & cinnamon hot chocolate. I love to try flavored hot chocolates. When I relax after the twins are in bed, I sit down with a cup of hot chocolate & a good book. I like anything to do with cooking, such as cookbooks, recipe cards, oven mittens, cool dish cloths... We use cloth napkins so I love getting those! And they don't have to match. Hand made ones are awesome, since you can make some with patterns you can't buy.

Random Things

*I love the color orange. Any shade of orange just makes me feel happy. *Autumn is my favorite time of year. I love all the orange leaves and pumpkins. I also love the weather at that time. *I like butterflies, especially butterfly stickers. *I also really like mushrooms. I just love pictures of mushrooms. I would love to have postcards, bookmarks, stickers or anything with mushrooms on them. *I like books & bookmarks. I can never have enough bookmarks. I'm always marking places in my books. *I like to read quotes, especially the kind that inspires you. *I also like things with Bible verses on them, like bookmarks, magnets & things. Any Christian item is welcome. *I like note cards & pretty pens, stickers & such. And I love cards. I love sending them & I love getting them. *Halloween is my favorite holidays. I enjoy decorating & watching scary movies & just the playfulness of it all. I also love Christmas. *POSTCARDS - I'm obsessed with postcards. I am a member of postcrossing. I enjoy learning about the people who send them & places that they are sent from. I really like any kind of postcard - animals, touristy ones, holiday, black & white, recipe, 'Did you know...' pc's, cemeteries, barns...I just love getting mail. I always enjoy the messages on back of the postcards. *My favorite animal is a fox. I also really like owls. And as far as animals on postcards, I like them all. *I enjoy reading about the Salem Witch Trials and The Lost Colony of Roanoke, so any postcards or anything to do with either would be awesome. *Candles are another thing I like. My favorite scent is Lilac. It's my favorite flower. * And I love scarecrows. Cards with scarecrows or postcards, stickers, anything. *I love blank recipe cards (4x6)! I really enjoy receiving them! *I also would like used postage stamps, especially ones from other countries. *I would also like to receive different types of memo sheets.

My Little Ones

My twins are 14. They love animals. My daughter likes dogs& black bears and my son likes birds & pigs the most. They both love to hike & camp. My daughter likes anything kawaii or Hello Kitty. She also likes the Eiffel Tower, Marilyn Monroe, rainbows, stickers, the color purple & she loves colorful socks (she wears women's size socks). My son likes Star Wars, tanks, helicopters, space & zombies. He is crazy about WW2 & Russia. He reads anything about WW2 - fiction & non-fiction. They both love to read!

Comment: Thank you for the lovely postcard. Flowers AND Unesco. I also had to send two postcards to the same person in one day. I thought that I had made a mistake when I wrote the address out the second time. We are also busy in our garden, pruning before the winter weather sets in and planting some bulbs to give us color over winter.
