I am a serious crafting swapper. I promise to always send and always rate. If you don't receive a promised swap from me, contact me so I can fix it before you rate me poorly.

I am a former Hospice RN who enjoys crafting in my spare time. In the past, I have traded LOTS of ATC, scrapbook pages and recipie cards. I am married and live in Utah. I am married to a handsome cabinet builder. He and I own a small assisted living home with three residents. I have 4 grown children, and one georgeous grand daughter. I own two dogs- a Chiuahuah named Pepsi, and a Brussles Griffon named Beauty.

I have recently taken up golf to play with my husband, and I am finding it to be a lot of fun!

In January, my family and I went on a cruise to the Caribbean. Oh, MY GOSH!!! I fell in love, and I want very much to relocate and live on an island some where in the Caribbean. Dream, Dream, Dream...............

Listening to digital books while I drive, craft or do housework is one of my favorite things to do. I enjoyed the Outlander series by D. Gabaldon. Other authors I listen to are John Grisham, Ken Follett, Stephanie Meyer. I also have a real political bent right now, and so I listen to many books about our (American) history and current events.

My music tastes are pretty eclectic. While I enjoy the "oldies"from the teens and twenties, i also like more recent oldies, especially Rod Stewart. I also like to listen to classical music, country, and swing. I am not a metalica fan.

My favorite movie of all time is "Its a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart, and my most favorite modern movie is "Second Hand Lions" I enjoyed the Twilight series books, and the movies. I have also recently started listening to books by Brad Thor, which are interesting and keep my mind busy.

I pretty much only watch one TV show- now that Numb3rs is not running any more, I have been recently captivated by Criminal minds.

Well, crafts- It should be illegal to own as many rubber stamps as I do! I used to sell them-for several different companies, and over the years, I just added and added. I enjoy making and dressing paper dolls, making pin cushions and needle books, fabric baby shoes, and since being in Swap-bot, I have enjoyed making inchies. I like to craft and sew, but I also really enjoy the outdooors. Hiking, camping and geocaching are among my favorite things to do-especially with my family! Last year I purchased a new mac computer (What a difference from a PC!!) I am just now getting back to digital scrapbooking, which I love to do, with a new scrapbooking program

I am not a fan of candles or incense-they give me headaches. I have no allergies

When trading with me, may I gently suggest that because I send my best work, and I'd appreciate the same favor. When participating in other swaps, I found it is so discouraging to get things that are slapped together when I sent out something really nice. That being said, I would much prefer a handmade item to store-bought unless the hand made is just not quality.

My favorite colors are green, teal, purple, pink and just about anything plaid. For tea swaps, I prefer herbal (red is my favorite, but I like most), or green teas- but am willing to experiment with others. My personal "icon" is flip-flops-and I like to have it on jewlery, paper, stickers, cards, and just about anywhere you could put one! colorful paper, pin cushions, paper dolls, book marks, colorful buttons in all sizes, little charms,stars, hearts,boxes, dotees, inchies, friendship books, journals, poetry, recipies. SPECIAL NOTE: I am easily bought with CHOCOLATE! !

I REALLY DISLIKE FLAKERS! "Nuff said" I have been flaked by:
