Update: 10-11-09

10-23-09: I am in CA this week spending Halloween with my girls. I have the privilege of taking Maya trick-or-treating on Halloween!

Update on my cousin:
I'm not sharing this to get sympathy, but to share information that may help others.

My cousin is 49 and extremely healthy. She had no underlying issues when she got the H1N1. It caused her to have, what she thought, was a really bad cold. She waited too long to go to the hospital. When she finally went in they put her on a ventilator right away. So, pay attention when you or your family and friends get upper respritory issues. That is what's causing the deaths.

Also, Vitamin D3 is a great way to boost your immune system to help fight this and many other issues. The adults in our family are taking 5,000 IUs per day and the children are taking a lower dose appropriate for their age. Do some research and you will see what a great benefit Vitamin D3 can be. Hope tis helps....

I have been a member of swap-bot since July 2006. I have never sent a swap late, never flaked, and I'm not going anywhere. So, if you have not received a swap or a rating from me....feel free to pm me and I will fix the situation quickly.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

I love the color purple and all things Tuscan.

I love purple (most shades, but especially eggplant) and sage green with gold accents for my home. But I love all deep, rich colors. I love classic decorating ... nothing contemporary, country, or over the top. Yep, pretty conservative for decorating. I collect teacups and saucers and I collect depression era glass. I especially love hobnail. I absolutely love gardening and have hundreds of flowers. I have to replant each year...except for the bulbs. I love wines (it's that whole Tuscan thing) and I enjoy wine accessories. I cannot chew gum, but I love coffee and tea. I love Starbucks...all things Starbucks. I absolutely love handmade items. Since I am an atheist, I would prefer not to receive religous items. But because I respect other's belief systems, you just might receive a religous item from me...if it is clear on your profile that you are ok with that.

My Likes:
heart Purple
heart Sage green
heart Fruit flavored anything. Except: gum, peanuts, & hard candy cuz I have braces
heart I love handmade items
heart Gold not silver if it's for me, but supplies in silver are good!
heart Loose tea over tea bags
heart Coffee
heart Teacups and saucers
heart Bottle caps - blank or your creations
heart Dominos
heart Jewelry findings, gold or silver
heart Beads, seed beads welcome
heart Buttons (preferably with a shank)
heart Foreign Currency, coins
heart Linens (hankies, doilies, especially handmade)
heart Love the Fleur-di-lis
heart Hello Kitty for my granddaughter
heart Anything to do with autism awareness
heart Fingernail stickers or tape
heart Gems, adhesive or not
heart Scents: Vanilla, Cinnamon, Cookies, food not flowers
heart anything miniature for using on inchies and bottle caps
heart Scrabble Tiles!! Lots of them!
heart charms: gold or silver
heart anything in the color purple is always welcome
heart Grapes and Tuscan theme is perfect
heart Monogrammed items with any or all of my initials VJP

AND if you have received something from another swapper that isn't your style and you think it is mine...please feel free to "re-swap"(like re-gifting). Please don't be offended if I re-gift as well. If this is an issue, just let me know up front.

Art

I love technology. I do online scrapbooking and burn cd's for my kids and grandkids instead of printed pictures in books. But I still love getting embellishments of all sorts to use on my crafts and altered art. Although I love purple, please feel free to send any color for embellishments as I will use them on crafts for others.

I'm kind of picky about scents. Nothing too strong or flowery.

I am very open to trying new things, so even if it isn't listed here and you think I will enjoy...go for it.

Items I don't need or don't like:
heart Pastel or bright colors like neons.
heart ATC's
heart Religous items
heart Teabags (loose tea is good)
heart Post It Notes and Note Cards (I have tooooo many)
heart Candy, nuts, gum
heart Ribbon..I have more than I will ever use
heart Smokey smelling items

NO ALLERGIES

I don't care for rude, self centered, selfish people...which includes people who don't use their turn signal. But I digress...

Favorite Music

Music

Jazz, New country, and classic rock.

heart Michael Buble heartHarry Connick Jr. heartThe Dixie Chicks

I have an ipod that is no where near full so I would love to receive CD's with lots of music. About the only music I don't like is Old Country (too twangy), head banging rock and nothing that even sounds remotely like rap. I'm definitely into 60's,70's, & 80's rock or pop. I love NEW Country and the Dixie Chicks are my heroes and my favorite band.

Favorite Movies

art4

I never seem to find time to watch movies these days, but here are a couple of old favorites. Out of Africa, Casablanca, When Harry Met Sally...yep, Chick Flicks ≈

Favorite Television

art4

The View, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Gilmore Girls....and lots of News....CNN, MSNBC and more ≈

Favorite Crafts

I have found some new crafts that I love. I am inspired by the wonderful items I see here on swap-bot and have tried some new ones. I love making matchboxes, bottlecap jewelry and magnets, bookmarks of all kinds including paper and silver, magnets, envelopes, cards, jewelry, inchies and so much more.

Swap Tracking

Comment: I love the creative idea using all those pink beads.............and then to add the Ribbon as a charm. Fabulous idea. I was "stuck" when it came to the idea department and could only think of using the Ribbon in the center of the bottle cap. Now I have a fresh idea. I may have to add charms to mine......Thanks for coordinating this swap. I believe you did this a while back and I joined and had fun. I love the idea of sending it to @Tooliesteaparty. As a matter of fact, I have been collecting Pink items for months for her. I can't wait to send it out. Also, thanks for the Altered Scrabble Tile with the Swap-Bot Envie.
