I love purple!!! All shades, They are all lovely!

I will be married, 20 years July 2012. No kids, but we have a four legged pup named Scooter. We both work. Lately my time is spent making eyeglass holder chains out of beads or wasting time on Facebook. But, I'm trying to stay off of it.

I like getting postcards in the mail, but only want to do USA swaps with postcards.

I'm a PASSIONATE scrapbooker, but I have cut down on that too. I've started cross stitching at night to keep me from grazing. Only with STAMPED patterns!

I love to give away stuff that I have. I have SO much scrapping stuff that I'm overwhelmed!

I COLLECT MAGNETS!!!

The more unusual the better.

I have all U.S. magnets shaped like the maps of each state already! I love unusual magnets, from everywhere, I have over 1000 & need more!

I am REALLY into purple. I don't like all things purple, & I don't only have purple things, but I do have a lot of purple. Not just "purple" either. There's lavender, wine, burgundy....you get the picture. Since I'm a scrapbooker, I work on my vacations, my dogs, parties, general life things. I make books for friends, & co-workers when they have special occasions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My mini-poodle Scooter loves to "kill" all the toys we give him. His fav is the Penquin from Madagasgar that talks. I found it at Target, but they don't sell them anymore!

I am lucky that my local post office lobby is open 24/7, so if I mark a swap as sent & it's a Sunday, the P.O. will send it out the next day, Monday morning or Tuesday if that Monday is a holiday!

Don't like raw tomato, Lima beans, catsup, mustard, relish or ANY SPICY FOODS! I don't eat salsa, corn tortilla's, but I love Frito's. Go figure!

Books? I have to read/listen to books on CD, I get them from the library. I can't read anymore...I have found that I have a slight case of dyslexia & I've been missing out on a lot of text. :)

I'm obsessed with JD Robb's Eve Dallas! I will only read them in order, I have one more to read & I'm all caught up! I like Linda Lael Miller's time travel novels, Faye Kellerman & Jayne Ann Krentz! I love time travel, from now back to the past, like the move Kate & Leopold.

I love mystery/love stories and love stories with vampires.

PLEASE NOTE: I CAN NOT NOT NOT READ PAPER BOOKS, MUST BE CD FORMAT OR PLEASE DON'T SEND TO ME. THANKS! But, I do like to skim magazines!

NO REALITY, except Food network or HGTV. Although, lately I'm really into Ace of Cakes! I watch all 5 CSI's/NCIS', I record everything I watch, I use to have 5 VCR's, but now I have one DVR. I still have 2 VCR's, just in case of a recording emergency! You can't DVR "on demand" so I record it

I had Gastric Bypass a little over 10 years ago. I've lost 102 lbs, I started at 220. If anyone wants to talk about it, please let me know. I'm pushing the surgery, & if you've had it & can't seem to get past a plateau, let me know! I can help you "move" that stuff!!
