Hollydays

Hi what can I say I never know what to say when filling out these things. I'm a SAHW and love it. I'm a child of God. I'm married to a soldier who I love more than anything, we have 2 grown kids, 2 grand kids. We have 2 dog 1 cat. We live in the desert of AZ and I hate it, would love to live up north. I'm a pretty easy going person I'm happy with just about anything and everything.

I love the country, small towns, winter, the holidays. I love my crafts I crochet like a mad women, I sew as much as I can anything from aprons to quilts, I enjoy card making as well but I not very good at it, I just got into Mod-Podge which I'm really loving it, I love all colors, anything that has glitter, I recently discovered art journaling it's like two things I like to came together card making and journaling, I'm loving it.

Anything that has to do with winter, snowflakes, snowmen, snow globes, Anything country or handmade. Little village houses, I'm really loving glitter houses, journals and devotionals new or used, and pens in all colors but I hate black, journal jars. Christmas ornaments mostly handmade. Jewish and Christian items. Tea cups as well as mugs. Silk veils and coin belts for belly dancing. Charms, the fancy souvenir key chains souvenir magnets from different states.

My favorite of anything depends on the mood I'm in at the time I listen to all kinds of music except rap, and I do love a good murder mystery right now I'm into Joanne Fluke. Loved the Hunger Games. We love to watch a good B film.

EDITED

OK Thanks to lovely partner I had twice she was determined to show me what ATC could look like and how beautiful they could be she sent me a few from her collection and I'm in love don't know if I'm ready to try my hand at it yet, but my daughter is. So if this is something you want to share with me I'm open to it.

I have been thinking what is it that I really don't like as far a crafts. I have been look around at some of the swaps and groups. I think I found something I really don't like or even get as a craft it's some of these paper crafts. ATC, Slams, FB's or the like. I really don't get these pieces of cardboard with stuff glued to it or painted on it. I am sorry if this is your craft I don't mean to offend you, I just don't get it. Glitter houses, and handmade cards I get, the other stuff I don't. I'm not really into make-up or perfume. I really don't need any more scrapbooking stuff I have tons, I have lots of address labels.

I try really hard to be a good partner and make extra effort to make sure you always get your package that's why I always send with delivery confirmation when I can, so that way I know you got it. I have noticed that not everyone likes to know their package has been sent so I won't be letting you know that it's been mailed if you don't get something from me let me know so I can track it. I love swaps and will always rate my partner I'm pretty easy going. I try to rate the someday I receive. But sometimes life happens or my grand babies are over and life just stops for them :-). If you are not happy with what I send please let me know so I can send you something else.

It's come to attention that I'm not very clear on this I am sorry about that I'll try and clear it up. Besides all the thing I mentioned in the things I collect I like just about anything holidays, seasons except summer (hate it get enough of it here), forest or country theme, and I LOVE ANYTHING HANDMADE, So here it goes if you see pencils with little fall leaves on it I will love it, if you see a frig magnet with trees, deers, butterflies whatever I will love it, if you see an ornament with hearts, clovers,whatever I will love it, If you see a plaque with God loves you or whatever I will love it. Get the picture I know this is very broad but my reason is simple I'm an artist and as such I want to see want you will come up with. Be creative!!! For me that is the true gift to be able to see your creativity. So when your doing a swap with me go nuts show me what you got. Hope this clear up what I'd like. If not you can always look at my Etsy Favorites or my pinterest to get more ideas of what is more me.

Sunglasses here in the desert we go through alot of them.

Any hand make stuff toy (crochet, knitted, felt, sewn) any toy I get in a swap they take right away.

They love playing in the dirt or the sand box so anything there even if it's some precious to hide in the sand box. We bury things for them to find later. And they love fishes for the pool.

Kaylin loves pencils and recipe card, and little journals she loves to tell stories as she writes. She also has gotten into post cards she tells me stories about them. Kaylin is a fairy and gnome kind of girl. Loves to paint any little wooden thing that we turn into fridge magnet.

Amber loves to color and color books, She has really gotten into writing on the chalk board so sidewalk chalk would be great. Amber is a butterfly and gnome kind of girl. Loves fake food and anything for her pretend cooking.

They both have started getting into anything tiny like Polly pockets, Squinkies, little animals, anything 1 to 2 inches.

I'm looking for a pair of Dutch wooden shoes new or used. Will trade I crochet and can make just about anything.

I thought I'm a few things that I like/love and dislike first the Dislike: I'm not a fan of the American Santa Clause.

Likes: I love the European Idea of Father Christmas, (Sinter Klaas, Pere Noel, Saint Nicholas, De Kerstman, Ded Moroz,) ornaments, woodland creatures, anything to do with winter or the winter solstice, holiday music, and anything handmade, Hope this may help you get to know more of my likes.
