Contemp. Christian, Jeremy Camp Mercy Me, Todd Agnew, Third Day. to name a few

Favorite books

true crime for me and books suitable for teens (pg) for Tristan more fantasy things that could remotely be construed as happening to him causes anxiety (example he saw a brief part if ncis where a man was chasing the ncis officers and shooting. they were on a subermarine and he freaked out! I thought it was safe since we would never be on a sub but he replied that is scared him because someone could be chasing us with a gun!

Favorite movies

Simon Birch (my 23 year has unique needs and he reminds me of Simon), Memento and family movies

CSI, Criminal Minds, Personal Defense, NCIS, House,

Cross stitching,some knitting and crochet. Making beaded ornaments with the kids. I have just started digital scrap booking. I would love to learn to TAT

My son, bought me an embroidery machine!! NOW to find the time to learn how to use it and actually use it.

Love going to Lake Cumberland and staying at the cabin and reading!

I am pretty easy to please. I am usually easy going and love doing things for other people

Favorite colors are blue, hunter green, navy, mauve moss green.

Married to Chris since 2003 he likes hunting, personal defense, likes gun magazines and going to gun shows (KY redneck but love him to death). He is a die hard marine, still has the horseshoe haircut. He lost his dad in Vietnam when he was 4 so anything memorial, if anyone lives near dc a picture of the wall of David Littleton with the people's name that surround him in all directions ( i would love to make a cross stitch picture of it) that would be awesome!!

Karyn is 26, married to Matt last September, NO grand kids from her,though Grandma is anxiously waiting LOL Just bought their first home. She is my first born. She is a special education teacher, says she was born for the job, her two brothers have unique needs. She likes lady bugs, frogs, cross stitching to name a few. Matt likes Metallica and loves Halloween, He loves to cook and Karyn is the handy one to fix things. DOES NOT LIVE AT HOME

Zachary, lives at home, is 24 despite the Dr saying he would not make it to his first birthday! He has unique needs,blind, trached, craniofacial issues. He is a junior/senior at the local University, studying history will graduate with a major in history and a minor is sociology but will continue on to grad school He was able to go to Germany in 2008 and Loved it. he went to Switzerland in May 2010 (his aunt lived in Germany and now in Switzerland) and the Olympics in England in 2012 (mom gets to go to this one!!) He loves the Simpson's, Dungeon and dragon miniatures, playing computer rpg and his video games, he has a wii and a p3, He has a salt water aquarium and two pet rats I bought him a kindle for Christmas in June there is going to be a software update that has text to speech navigation menus but right now he will wing it and the kindle will read his books to him I cant wait to see his face when he gets it

Tristan is 14.of course he livesat home, he likes, video games, loves facebook games,airhead extremes, money from other countries, coin or paper) Cheshire cat from the NEW Alice movie things, nightmare before christmas things, likes 0.9mm lead cool mechanical pencils,cool high lighters, mcdonalds gift cards any amount,he likes the cool music but we dont allow him to listen to explicit lyrics so anything edited, items can be used but in good condition. .He likes candy, he just received some from japan & fell in LOVE and asked me to put foreign candy on his wishlist but he has braces, nothing like caramel or laughy taffy but things like nerds, skittles especially the new flavor that has two flavors in one. he can eat. I read to him every night and we are looking for Chris D'Lacey's books see below for titles also any of the percy jackson series we have the first two books And any of my swap partners who live in the UK. There are some other books that he is writing that will be released in the UK before they are released in the USA they are listed in my wish list. HE WOULD THINK IT "TIGHT" TO GET A BOOK THAT HASNT BEEN RELEASED HERE. There are some live dragons on my etsy favs for him. He has some unique needs. he is bipolar, anxiety disorder, sensory issues and adhd the Anxiety is the most disabling. he cant seem to make any decision without having inner turmoil "what if i make the wrong decision" LOL even what kind of ice cream to get is debilitating. He is a lonely guy, kids his age do not seem to understand him I know it will get better when he is older but it breaks my heart. Getting swaps and wishes are one of his highlights. He has just found teracycling and loves anything useful to him in this category.

He ties the family together Chris adopted him on Feb 4, 2004.

• A WURZEL SEPP , Karyn got one from her dad when he and Zachary went to Germany and I WANT ONE!!

for those of you who dont know what it is: Wurzelsepp—a bearded head carved into a tree branch. With a note that reads: “Your Wurzelsepp (roughly translated as “root man”), was hand carved in the forests surrounding Salzburg, by a traditional Austrian wood carver.” Through the ages, the note continues, these faces were used to ward off evil spirits. The faces were carved from otherwise unusable pieces of wood (known as wurzels), or were carved directly into the base of a forest tree. Neat. Interesting. Great.

PLEASE NOTHING WITH ALCOHOL OR TOBACCO

I would much rather get one thoughtful item then a bunch of de-stashing things.

I try to look for items that you will like. even in tag items after you tag me I will look in your profile and try to custom the item to your likes.

My favorite swaps to receive are ones that come from the heart. I had someone send me a small bag of polished wood and a letter opener from gayana (think that is how you spell it) I have the pieces in a jar and if I ever get anymore I will add them to it.

One member sent me their first needlebook that they had crafted.

Another sent me some ladybug cookie cutters with a print out of the legends that are associated with them.

a miniature pair of shoes from Holland

another gave me a biscornu and a needlebook both handcrafted just for me

Little things, things for my children make me happy
