UPDATE AUGUST 25th, 2008 - I will be cutting back on the swaps until late-September through around November. We are in the process of renovating our new house and then moving in. I won't be able to do any 1-on-1 swaps during this time. Thanks for understanding! (If I've already agreed to a swap with you... or I'm currently in one, I will still see it through. I do NOT flake.)

I pledge to rate!

I also recycle packaging! :)

journals, books, music, chapstick, lotions, sewing, writing, reading, painting, geocaching, drawing, making mixed CD's, taking pictures, candles, smell goods, baking, keeping notebooks of thoughts and stories and ideas, crafting stuff, downloading music, listening to music, playing my guitar & flute, knitting, I try and write music sometimes, organizing my life (even though that never seems to happen), ceramics, decorating my home in stuff that's neat and unique, quilting, crocheting, collaging, crosswords.

I'm a 27 year old mother to a beautiful 4 year old girl, wife to an amazing husband and an art education major at Ohio University!

I can appreciate all music. that doesn't mean I have to like it, though. :) However, I DO like: Ani Difranco, Evanescence, I love listening to and playing acoustic stuff, 80's hair metal, Plumb, Jeremy Camp, Eva Cassidy, Joni Mitchell. I'm sure you get the picture. I also play music and have for 16 years.

The NeverEnding Story. The Passion of the Christ. The Notebook. Memoirs of a Geisha. Moulin Rouge. American Beauty. Legend. The Lost Boys. Empire Records. The Illusionist. Merlin. Practical Magic. Dirty Dancing. Elizabethtown. Dave the Last Dance. Circle of Friends. Titanic. Girl, Interrupted. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Rent. Willow. Phantom of the Opera (the movie and broadway play).

We don't have cable. :) When we did, I watched House, The Discovery Health Channel and Law & Order: SVU.

Green & Yellow!

I'm addicted to coffee. Sadly, it has to be decaffeinated. :(

I love handmade soap.

I'm very eclectic and odd.

I'm a knitting & yarn freak! I also crochet!

I love making lists and organizing stuff.

Chapstick and I are best friends.

I love beads and embellishment charms.

Robots are cooler than anything.

I have no food allergies.

However, I do NOT like: - raspberry - clove

I DO like: - chocolate!! - any kind of nut - coconut - caramel

I love paisley, retro, Japanese print fabric. fabric with lots of color is fantastic!

notions: - rick rack is way cool - sequins and beads are useful - buttons! - charm embellishments - NO lace

I'm NOT into Americana or primitive stuff.

I have no use for scrapbooking papers or ephemera, I think it's called.

ATCs - Yes, I've done a few swaps... and found they aren't for me. I don't think the majority of people take them seriously.

I don't like Disney or character pieces.

I don't like lavender, berry scents of any kind nor patchouli.

Please don't send me tea. I have so much tea right now I could drink on it the rest of the year. :)

My daughter has allergies. So if you smoke, not only will I be able to smell it instantly... but it will set my daughter's allergies off. I don't want to be mean, but if you smoke, I'll probably have to throw away what you send me... or find another home for it quickly. :( My daughter comes before any swapped item.
