When Pigs Fly!!!
I'm starting a project for my niece's birthday next year. It is an album of travels of the "Five Little Pigs Family". I have 5 stuffed pigs: Scraps, Pumba, Percy, Jasmine & Miss Patty. The pigs will be flying all over the world & their hosts will take a picture of the pig in their favorite local spots! Then send the pig, a note, & picture (or e-mail pictures) back to me! I know that my niece will be thrilled to get this for her birthday next year & hopefully she'll learn about geography too! Want to help??? PM & we can set something up! I'm willing to do a private swap in return for your help!
- Scraps is on vacation in Arizona with Gary & Barb & Grandkids!
- Pumba is visiting Don in Georgia!
- Percy is on vacation in Washington with Brett & Ed!
- Jasmine is visiting Emma in Australia (she is small & loves to travel to other countries!)
- Miss Patty is visiting Jeannine in Alaska! (she is small & loves to travel to other countries!)
About Me
I live in Orange County, California & have been married for 11 years. I can't have kids but I love spending time with my 23 nieces & nephews plus my friends kids too! We have two dogs that we rescued, Kaya a lab/chow & Buster a lab/pitbull. We live close to the beach & I love spending time down there watching my husband surf! I keep super busy with work, school, crafts, home, husband & dogs. I'm working towards a new career, taking a few culinary classes next semester plus business classes... we'll see where that leads me, maybe a pastry chef!

- Ice
- Birds
- Cats (ok so not too irrational because I was attacked by one when I was real little plus I'm allergic)But, the weird thing is that I am strangely drawn to Chococat...
- Blimps (Ok I'm not afraid of them, but they annoy me!)
- Clowns - same thing... they are annoying too!
