About Me

IMG Member Since December 2007 IMG

NOTE: The best way to leave me a message is through swap-bot and not my email. Thanks

IMG

Let's see, where should I begin? I haven't writen anything "about me" in a long time. I've been filling out school applications, doctor forms, activity slips, permission slips and the like "about child" for many years now. So, to take a moment to reflect upon myself is kind of fun, even though I'm drawing a blank at this very instance. Hmmm. Well, I guess I'll start with the basics. I am proud to call myself a wife and mother. I feel blessed with the best family in the world. I have four children and two canine (lap) children. Our oldest daughter just turned 16....(yikes), our second daughter is 13...(double yikes), next is our fun 9 year old son and last but, not least (even though small), is our 6 month old little girl. We live in the river city of Louisville, KY...where thoroughbred horses, Kentucky Bourbon and the UofL Cardinals reign supreme. Not necessarily in that order, depending on whom you talk to:) Although I'm a busy mom who sometimes doesn't know if she's coming or going, or if it's morning or night, for that matter...I still crave and somehow find that little bit of time for a couple of things that I like to do. Which is why I was excited about coming across swap-bot. It's the perfect thing for me to be able to feed my inner artistic soul, while being able to choose from so many swaps that fit into my current lifestyle.
I hope you enjoy reading my profile, as I hope to someday read yours.
Hugs and crafts, IMG

Favorite Music

IMGI like a lot of music, just about everything... Classical, rock, and top 40 are at the top of my list. While country and jazz, are probably my least favorite, (although, some country is okay). But, I'm usually playing a good movie soundtrack, that's my favorite.

Favorite Books

IMGI tend to lean towards memoirs, autobiographies, (non-fiction), how to books...i,e decorating, crafts, sewing, etc. And, I love my magazines...Real Simple, Traditional home, House beautiful. Also love chidren's books...The Giving Tree, I'll be Yours Til the Cows Come Home, The Velveteen Rabbit, (right now, I'm reading "Eat Pray Love" and I'm loving it).

Favorite Movies

There are so many things I want to learn how to do. IMG

For Kids Swaps

IMG I will usually choose only one child at a time to be the recipient of a swap.

Lynn...loves rainbow and bright colors, cow things, funky earrings, writing pens and markers, cool fabrics, postcards from other places, hard math problems or puzzles (really hard) and books, books, books!

Leigh... loves the color PINK, lime green, make-up, picture frames, pretty colorful pens, stickers, little cute socks ( the short kind,right below the ankle) pretty ribbons and hair accessories.

Collier ...loves anything and everything military (i.e. stickers, patches, toys, etc.), sharks and other mean sea creatures, snakes, dogs, games, and fact books on any of the above.

Rebecca ...baby books, cute socks, little hats, anything handmade for baby

SB I am still interested in being involved with creating a swap-bot convention. Or, if you live around my area and would like to have a regional get together, contact me.

Comment: Will change this rating if and when I receive anything. Hi Sena, it arrived today, thanks so much. She is gorgeous. I might have to copy the idea for some more chrissy decorations.
Response: Thank you for the kind comment. i realize she was really late, but I would have thought you would have given a 5, especially since I communicated with you throughout. That is what I always do with those that are late but pm me. :( I had a perfect score before I hit a difficult point and let everyone know that I would be behind.

Comment: Thanks for the letter with pix - the book was before my time and, oddly perhaps,not a favorite of my daughters. I suspect the plain hard work of that period was as stessful in its way as our lives today and tired parents can be mighty grumpy parents. Thanks for our note too, I waffle about moving ... undecided.
