About Me

Note for fabric preferences for current swaps: I would love fabrics in blues, greens, and pinks if possible as I am building up those areas of my "stash", though I also like reds and purples. I would prefer no oranges, yellows, teals, or bright crazy colors. As I mostly quilt 100% cotton would be my preference. I love vintage looking fabrics and well as victorian floral looking fabrics.

I am 27 and a mom of three little ones (5, 4, & 2 year old). I enjoy reading, knitting, gardening, cooking (if someone else does the dishes) and a million and one other things. I love candles, bath stuff of all types (LUSH being my favorite! with any spa stuff a close second) , vanilla & red teas and anything that says "relaxing". I collect tea cups, and I especially like ones that have dainty floral prints or are solid white with embossed designs. Someone also just sent me a solid green one with dragonflys embossed on it that I LOVE!

I adore thrift store shopping, swapping and getting presents! I am the ultimate bargain hunter and am constantly out on the hunt! I tend to be somewhat chabby chic/classy in my house decor - think Martha Stewart/Pottery Barn - not that I ever shop there as it is completely out of my budget =). In case you need to know for some swap or other, here are my house colors: Living Room - Green, Kitchen - Stainless Steel & Blue (cobalt), Main Bathroom - Green (all shades) with leaves, Spare Bathroom - purple (all shades) with dragonflies, My bedroom - Blue (navy) & White I know they are all kind of the same. Sometimes I feel like everything in my house is blue, green, white or silver, but that is what my husband and I can agree on. =)

I love spending time with my husband and kids. We play lots of game (mostly European and anything new and different - Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, Bang!, Polarity, San Juan, Lost Cities, Heave Ho! and too many more to list). If you have any favorite games or try something new that you LOVE, e-mail me and let me know.

My husband and I live in an old big house (built 1908) with two apartments off of it that we rent. It is constantly in need of fixing or redoing, so that take up a lot of my spare time. My husband is an assistant paster of our church. It is an Evangelical Friends (Quaker)church and we spend a lot of time with the people there.

I love to get all "dressed up" and go out. I am somewhat old fashioned in my ideas (My husband had to ask my dad if he could marry me for example). I love dancing and used to take Scottish country Dance lessons before I got married (couldn't talk my husband into coming with me and got too busy with little kids to continue). I love to laugh and have fun with people of like minds. I have very varied tastes and enjoy many things. My favorite colors are purples, greens, blues, burgundy/reds, black and white. I love old fashioned things, the victorian era, eyelet, and anything pretty and romantic. I love flowers, my current favorites being roses, lavender, sweet peas, carnations, and hydrangeas. I love fruit of all kinds and love soaps & lotions with fruit smells. I am always looking for new swap sites to check out, these being my current favorites: Swap-bot.com (anything & everything) Makeupalley.com (make-up) swappers.com (Lush stuff and tarts) peerflix.com (Dvd's) swapadvd.com (Dvd's) Paperbackswap.com (books)

Let me know if you find others that are awesome that I don't have listed.

I love the ocean and rainy days - Good thing I live in Washington! ;) Autumn is my favorite season.

I love to read and once I get hooked on a good book, all I want to do is read it! My poor family. =( Well, sorry for the LONG profile, as I have participated in more and more swaps I have wished that some people had more information on their profiles and then I kept ending up adding more and more.

Favorite Music

Norah Jones, Classical, Jazz, Scottish (Marie Brenner, Enya, Natalie MacMasters), etc.

Favorite Movies

Pride & Prejudice, Batman Begins, Anne of Green Gables, X-Men, Spiderman, Cold Mountain, Sherlock Holmes(Jeremy Brett) and many others. I love spy movies and mysteries.

Favorite Television

Martha Stewart living, MASH, Red Green Show, Friends, Monk, Lost, and I am sure others that I can't think of at the moment.

Favorite Crafts

Gardening and creating new designs for my flower beds and back yard, mosaics, sewing, knitting, organizing (is this a craft?) and learning new things. I am generally very crafty (in a good sense) and am always making some little thing or another. I currently have discovered these books "gifts in a jar" that are very fun to make & give away (and are good for kids to help with too).

Comment: I love the fabrics you chose!! especially the pinecones and the green one that looks like bubbles. :) I'm working on a piece for which those two are going to be absolutely perfect additions! And thank you for the extra fabric, too! It's really pretty and I will enjoy making something from it. :)

Comment: I got the package yesterday. OMG YOU SENT ME POTION!!!!!! *SWOON* AND KARMA DP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you!!!! I'd give you a 1000 hearts if there were a way. Potion was what got me hooked on LUSH in the first place, I was so sad when they took it away. My BF was laughing at my reaction to your package because I was having a really bad day all day long and then I got your package and couldn't stop smiling. Boys can be very silly at times. Thank you again for all the wonderful samples I shall put then all to good use.
Response: I am SO glad you liked it. I love potion also!! Sigh.....

I'm the first...woooohoooooooooooo! I/my son received your matchbox cars in the mail today and he is soooo darn pleased! He doesn't even own one just like them so you've added to his collection. Yours will be in the mail this week of course. Thanks so much!
