I'm a 39 year old working wife and mother of two teenage kiddos. We moved from Southern California to Middle Tennessee 10 years ago. We are an active family and always on the go.

I have been scrapbooking and card making for 15 years. I mainly stick to scrapping for my kids and family so all of my supplies focus around that.

I sew but don't really have the time these days. My MIL gave me one of her old sewing machine.

I learned the basics of how to knit. So far so good. I mostly knit kitchen wash cloths. Although, I haven't had much time for it in recent years.

I like china tea pots/cups and antique dishes and have a small collection. I started hosting a tea party for my birthday. My favorite tea is lemon ginger herbal tea and Tazo Lemon Loaf. I enjoy most herbal and some green tea. I don't care for black tea.

Stationery has been my current love for the past few years. I do a lot of penpalling and I love finding new stationery. Oh, preferably lined but honestly I love it all.

Envelopes of all shapes, sizes, store bought or handmade, all patterns and colors. Sometimes I have miscellaneous stationary and only have boring white envies.

Kawaii is another love of mine. Discovering new Kawaii is so fun!

I have beyond way to much washi currently so I don't really need any at the moment. I adore cute stickers!

Unused postage stamps. I love seeing all the fun and unique ones the post office comes up with. I don't care if it's .01 or 5.00. It's the fun of it all, not the cost.

I like dark chocolate way more than milk chocolate. I like it even more with something else mixed in like nut, caramel, coconut, etc... I enjoy herbal hot tea, hot chocolate, coffee, popcorn (regular or flavored) and sour candy.

Dislikes: Gum, hard candy, mints, hot/spicy foods. I don't wear any type of facial cosmetics or perfumes. If you are a smoker please make sure the swap doesn't smell like smoke. It triggers my migraines. Same with most candles. Thanks!!

I love real old things like dishes, postage, card, postcards, etc...but I don't care for new things that look vintage.

I'm a good about doing whatever I sign-up to do. So, if for some reason you don't receive my swap PLEASE let me know ASAP.

Happy Swapping!
