I am 39 and have lived in Arkansas for most of my life. I am married and the mother of two wonderful children. I have a 11 year old daughter and a 8 year old son. I am a Christian and Baptist by faith.

I love to read, do scrapbook crafts, cross-stitch, journals and make things with my hands.

I started doing journals in the last few years and I enjoy it. I like writing things down about my daily life. I also enjoy reading about other people's everyday life. I have done a few randomness journals.

I am going to cut down on my swapping this summer. I am not leaving completely but I will be in fewer swaps.

I LOVE to read. I will read anything that looks or sounds interesting. I don't really limit myself to one genre. I like to read Historical, Regency and Modern Romance, Chick-Lit, some Paranormal Romance, Suspense, and Mystery. I am not a big fan of Sci-fi or Horror. That being said I will read a scary book now and then. I read Heart-shaped Box by Joe Hill.

I like Sara Addison Allen, Sophie Kinsella, and Eloisa James.

I have enjoyed ~Spear of Summer Grass by Deanna Raybourn~Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella~Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

If you are a reader, I would love to hear what you like to read and some of your favorite authors.

Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books. - Julian Barnes

If you only read books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. ~Haruki Murakami

In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you. - Mortimer J. Adler

My favorite crafts are small embroidery projects, small sewing projects, cross-stitching and journals.

I just started doing smash journals so I am really enjoying finding things to add.

I am not a professional in any particular craft but I truly enjoy making things for myself and others.

I am interested in swapping for small items, postcards, cards, notecards, fun quotes, bookmarks and various crafting items.

I love anything to do with scrapbooking such as paper,stickers and embellishments.

I like to find new and different cross-stitch patterns. I also love embroidery patterns. I have been doing a little of that lately. I would love to receive all types and colors of thread.

Things with bible verses are fine with me.

I love journals and altering things. I just recently started a junk journal (smash journal).

New ideas or patterns for new crafts.

My daughter loves bracelets so if you are sending me a package and need a suggestion feel free to add them. I will gladly share with her. :)

If you are interested in doing a private swap with me for any of these items, or just want to swap with me send me a PM.

I have scrapbook paper, cross-stitch patterns, and books to swap.

My favorite colors are red, pink, purple and teal.

I like cats and collect things with cats on them.

I like daisies, sunflowers and daffodils.

I like stationery, notecards, journals and neat pens and pencils.

I like to collect quotes about everything and bible verses.

Scrapbook paper, embelishments, stickers and other pretties.

I like cross stitch patterns and kits.

I love chocolate. My favorite candies are Peanut M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, Butterfingers, Snickers, Milky Ways, Starbursts and Skittles. I also would like to try different dark chocolates.

DISLIKES:

I am not a big fan of dark and goth stuff. I also don't like sour candies or need any drink mixes.

Christian and some classical music.

I am not a flaker. If you are my partner and you don't receive your swap, let me know and I will send you another one. I don't like to be flaked on and I wouldn't do the same to you. Please contact me first, before leaving a negative rating. I would like the chance to make up a missing swap to you before receiving a low rating.

If I am hosting a swap and you are flaked on, please contact me. I will be willing to angel it or something similiar if it is a big swap.
