I have been married 15 years, have three grown step-children that we have raised in our home, and a son of our own. The kids are ages 26(M), 24(M), 22(F) and 10(M). We have a 5 yr old grand-daughter and a new grand-son just born in June. All that being said, I am 38 years old. Yes, I am a "Gran", and I LOVE IT.

My all time favorite would have to be my husband's hands, my beautiful, blue eyed 10 year old boy who readily admits he's a "mamma's boy." I enjoy every minute of him, before he gets too old to be a mamma boy, and.... my grand-daughter's laugh.

My family emigrated from Scotland, so anything Scottish, would be great. I love dragon flies, butterflies, fairies, wizzards, journaling, gel pens, weekend getaways, long scenic roads, a cup of tea/hot chocolate, with a fire or a blanket & good book, a scalding hot bath, and scented candles.

I like a small get togethers or dinners with old friends and new adventures with new friends, laughing till your eyes water and your sides hurt.

Colors: Purple, pink/brown combo, blue, burgandy, dark county colors, but my very favorite is vintage/distressed looks. I can never have enough cardstock, scrapbook paper, brads and eyelets, and any kind ephemera.

Containers! Baskets, boxes, tins, baggies, sachets, messenger totes, and altered containers.

Packaging: I dont have any, but would love some deco tape!

Foods: I'm not picky at all. Love my veggies, but my picky family doesnt and who likes cooking 4 meals? I was raised on tea, right from a bottle, and to my mother's horror, I also enjoy iced tea, especially respberry and peach. I like hot chocolate, mint flavored hot chocolate, cinnamon hot chocolate, french vanilla hot choc.... trident white gum, nerd ropes, bottled mt. dew and fountain coke. I prefer salt over sweet, but yeah - I'm not hard to please.

Sports: My entire married life has always revolved around sports. Soccor, football, basketball, baseball. My husband races a factory stock race car (Camarao), my 10 yr old son races Moto-cross. I do weight lift every day, and I'm a great spectator of everything and good at participating in.... scrapbooking? is that a sport?

Not so much into romance books. Mostly I like "conquering the odds" type books and also fantasy/pirate/renaisannce themed. Some of my recents reads are Million Little Pieces, The Obsidan Mirror, The Rapture on Canan, The Ha-Ha (recvd in swap - loved it!), Dumping Billy, and Drowning Tree.

Holy Moly, I just enjoy movies in general. I'd much rather watch a good movie than a 1/2 hour sitcom any time. Fried green tomatoes, Grease, Breakfast Club, Pirates of the carribean, Titanic, Chronicles of Narnia, or anything that makes me laugh.

Gray's Anatamy, Boston Legal and The Shield and House. (I love House's weired/dry/quircky ways! He's so cranky, that he has a strange sort of sex appeal to him!)

Contemporary Christian,(Third Day, Chris Tomlin) celtic music and 70's rock. Not too much into the more current "top-40" stuff.

My son is 10. He likes to draw & invent things out of "garbage" (he wants to be an engineer!). He LOVES to race dirtbikes. His two favorite sports are Moto-cross and football. Dad always coaches any sport he is in at the time. He likes riding his bike in the neighborhood with his friends, playing X-Box, and after all of that, if there is time, he likes to read. He is a BIG boy, your "typical quarter-back", so if anyone intends on any sort of clothing, you might want to PM me first. Baseball hats are always great! As far as snacks go, he's not really a "chocolate kid", he would prefer doritos, gum, and flamin' hot cheetos. Dad just built him a clubhouse and he would love anything "cool" (posters, decorations, etc) for his new clubhouse. His favorite TV show is The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. He has an IPod Nano, so IPod accessories would be good, too and finally, he has a watch infatuation!

My husband races a factory stock camaro and is a die hard race fan! His favortie football team is Detroit Lioins. He loves the history channel, and non-fiction books, especially true crime. His favorite snacks are cheese chex-mix, popcorn with white cheddar cheese seasoning and orbit gum. He is a fighter for the "underdog" and is always looking to find that good person, who just needs a break in life. He truly has the biggest heart and never expects anything in return. (sometimes to the point, I think people take advantage of him) He works in law enforcement and a simple prayer would do him wonders.
