If you do NOT get a swap from me and I have marked it as sent, please notify me through a PM before rating as it more than likely is just taking a rather long time in getting to you or it has gotten lost in transit. If it is a journal swap, I may or may not be able to make it up, but I will definitely work with you to reach an agreement/compromise!! Just let me know. I love doing swaps on here, and I'd hate for you not to get your fair share of the swap after you've put all that hard work into your end of the swap!!

I'm a laid back, type of girl who grew up in the middle of three corn fields and a woods. I love to travel, go fishing and to football games, and I love spending time with family and friends.

I'm very much a independent, self reliant type of person...I also have a cat (Ozcar) and a dog (Attica), who is very much a part of my life as well as my family. I see them on almost every sunday.

I'm not much of a television watcher, if the TV is on...it's only for background noise, as I really don't have anything that I have to watch unless it's one of my all-time Favorite movies (i.e. The Philadelphia Story, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Last of the Dogmen, An Affair to Remember, or any of the Pinky and Brain episodes from Animaniacs).

Don't be afraid to share something with me that you may think is offensive. It's rather quite hard to offend me, and I usually will take things in stride as a learning tool to other's views, beliefs, thoughts, and way of life, in general. Not everyone is the same, we are all unique and share some similarities in likes/dislikes, must haves, and I feel humbled to be able share with anyone interested in seeing a piece of my world.

As a side note: I do love making things for others and seeing their faces when I give it to them...I realize I can't do that through swap-bot (see one's face that is), but at the same time, if you feel you would like to send me something that you have made and it is something you would love to receive, feel free to send it my way.

Any of the Diana Gabaldon books...especially the Outlander series.

I'm also pretty open to suggestions on some else's favorite book/author.

Vicki Pettersson is also a favorite of mine... and am super excited for the next book of her Zodiac series!

crocheting, pressed flower pictures, drawing with charcoal (whether it's with vine/compressed), collage, penpalling, photography, reading, Wallace and Gromit

Pina Coladas, Umbrellas, hot humid weather, back seat drivers...

Anything girlie (including bright pink colors), oil paintings...There's not too many things that I don't care for, but I will warn you if I receive something I don't care for, I will re-gift it. However, it is very rare that I don't like something.

gnomes, thunderstorms, driving, spending time with my family, and just being able to be me.

I really love stationary, notepads, charcoal pictures, pressed flowers, random buttons with silly sayings on them, keychains, photography (mainly black & white), postcards, crocheting, movies, antiques, pens, journals, windchimes, dragonflies, fireflies, campfires, and the simple things in life.

Favorites in General: Color - green/purple/blue, Animal - Raccoons, Thunderstorms (with lots of lightning and thunder), Driving/Traveling, Candles and perfume w/ Musk smell...

I grew up between St. Joe, Indiana, and Auburn, Indiana (which technically I grew up in the middle of three fields and a woods). After high school I lived between Muncie, Indiana, and my parents house, but was mostly in Muncie... While at Ball State I did a stint abroad in Australia, and a couple months after graduation I moved up to Metro Detroit where I lived for 2 years and 3 1/2 months before moving back into my parents house...Now I'm currently in Fort Wayne, Indiana, living on my own and loving it very much!

I am allergic to soaps and detergents, so please do not send any bath items unless we've previously discussed any sort of pampering items.

I also have to be careful with make-up items as most give me hives/rashes.
