School is in full swing! My Economics class is really taking its toll!! I am managing really good in my other classes.

My favorite time of the year is here! I love the fall and winter times and all of the upcoming holidays. Plus football is in full swing. GO COWBOYS!!! GO TEXAS!!!

I am looking forward to playing on SB for some of the holdiay swaps. There are usually a lot of fun and cool ones going on. I definately need time to play! ;o)~

Please send me a message if you haven't received a swap from me before you rate me. I am normally very good on checking on my swaps to make sure they are received. If they haven't been received, I will re-send immediately.

I HAVE NEVER FLAKED ON ANY OF MY SWAPS! Now I have been flaked on, but I have never flaked on anyone. I know how it feels being flaked on, so I wouldn't do it to anyone else.

I am a full-time working mom. I work as an project assistant for an environmental consultanting company here in San Diego, CA. I am also attending school, working on getting my B.A. in Business Management. My plans for life right now are completing my degree before my son graduates from high school. I have 1 more year.

My son is really enjoying me getting packages in the mail. He always stakes his claim to some of the goodies I receive. So we have an agreement I will sign up for some swaps he wants to do (I will angel/help him with them). So I am listing a little about him and his likes.

He loves to cook (He makes the bomb spaghetti and fideo [Mexican rice])! He likes to try cooking new things. He comes up with some pretty good concoctions.

He loves the paranormal shows on A&E, Family Guy, South Park, Law & Order, CSI, and House of Payne, pretty much what I like to watch he watches!

He loves to read (just like mommy), he loves Marvel comics, Naruto, Avatar, Sci-Fi type of books.

He is learning to do needlework crafts, ATCs, he is into origami, drawing.

His favorite football team is the Raiders (I know, I know. I love the COWBOYS!).

He likes video games (he has a Xbox 360).

I love pretty much anything that is Disney related (except Winnie the Pooh [just him], I like the other chacters)!! I am a huge GOOFY AND GRUMPY FAN!!! My favorite princess is Sleeping Beauty. If it comes from Disney I will love it!!

I love anything that is from Hello Kitty. I like all of the characters but Hello Kitty is my favorite. My new found favorite is KUROMI!

I love Native American art. I would like to receive any magnets, pictures, figurines anything that has a Native American in it I am all for it.

I like a nice cup of tea anytime!! I am an avid tea drinker. I like to try different tea flavors and mix different ones to see what concoction I am able to come up with.

My favorite colors are red, black, and pink in all the shades, but pretty much I like any color.

I am not that big of a sweet eating type of person, but every once in a while I do enjoy a slice of cake or pie.

My favorite candy is Salt Water Taffy, Jelly Beans (not licorice flavor), Japanese fruit gummys.

I love to get creative in the kitchen. I like to try new recipe dishes as long as they aren’t seafood or have a lot of vegetables in them.

For my distressors I love to crochet, needlework, scrapbooking, paper crafts, playing Bingo, and baking.

I collect magnets and shot glasses from all over the world. I especially like the ones that have a picture of a place on them. Every time I go on a trip or my friends they know to bring me back a magnet and shot glass. The farthest away country I have is Switzerland.

My newest obsession are postcards thanks to SB!! I love buying and sending and receiving them.

I like to create ATCs and inchies. I have been doing them for little while now so I am currently looking for ways to be more creative with them. I still think I am totally in the begginer stage still!! LOL

I just started getting into stamping and creating cards. It is so addicting now. I really can't pass up a bargain for any stamps and ink pads.

I love books!! My favorite authors are Sherman Alexie, John Grisham, Mary Monroe, T.D. Jakes, Tony Morrison. Pretty much if it is a book I will read it! :o)

OMG I started reading the Twilight saga!! Now I totally see what all the fuss was about! I want an Edward (not the vampire thing though). The love that is going on between Bella and him is so cool!! I finished Twilight and New Moon. I'm on the list for the next ones at the library.

I LOVE COUNTRY!!! Sorry I was raised that way!! LOL My favorite male singer is George Strait and my favorite female singer is Reba McEntire.
