I have been married 18 years, have three grown step-children that we have raised in our home, and a son of our own. The kids are ages 29(M), 26(M), 24(F) and 14(M). The older kids are all married now and we have 7 grandkids. Now that being said... I am only 42... and I love being a "Gran"!

My all time favorite would have to be my husband's hands, my beautiful, blue eyed 14 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, 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, black/ white combo,burgandy, blue, 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.

My 14 year old is very active in sports (mostly football - but plays everything). Both he and my husband are gifted musically and both play country music. My son plays guitar and my husband plays drums.. so anything "music" related is great, too!

Not so much into romance books.My #1 Favorite book, is the Bible. Other than that, mostly I like "conquering the odds" type books. I really like Christian non-fiction and also fantasy/pirate/renaisannce themed. Some of my recents reads are Million Little Pieces, The Rapture on Canan, The Ha-Ha (recvd in swap - loved it!), Drowning Tree, Redeeming Love, The last Sin Eater and A Heartbreaking work of staggering Genious

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 , Sons of Anarchy 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 14. 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 playing X-Box, hanging out with his friends, playing guitar 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 also seems to have a watch and wallet infatuation!

My husband 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.
