IMPORTANT I am having some family issues that require my full attention. I'll get caught up on things soon. And yes you will still see me uploading things on flickr - crocheting keeps me sane through it all.

I am a 27 year old mother to 3 boys and 1 step daughter. I have a fab hubby as well. I love web design, scrapbooking, mail art, & a lot of other things. If you would like to find out more check out my site http://dementedturtle.com/ ;)

Those with pet & smoke allergies I do have 2 cats. I have a husband who smokes. I occasionally smoke as well. I will not drop a swap unless asked to nicely & with good reason. So if you are not comfy with me being there drop the swap or get the host to ban me.

ALLERGIES: milk products, pollen (anything made with flowers qualifies), wool, & mint

ATTENTION It has come to my attention that people seem to look down on swaps that are not sent through snail mail. I occasionally do these types of swaps. Only 'e-swaps- I do are blog link exchange swaps. However I will not fight the urge to do an 'e-swap' if the swap theme is dear & near to me or is for a good cause. I do not do them to get ratings nor to get hearts. However if you have an issue with me being in your swap due to the fact I have done a few 'e-swaps' that is your loss, not mine.

I have three boys. Just because I know some people like to add things for the partners kids (like I occasionally do) I will list their names, ages, & what they like. :D

Davey age 11 He likes sceince stuff, drawing, tearing things apart to see how they work, building stuff, skateboarding, legos

Dusty age 9 He likes food network. He likes to cook & yes has an Easy bake Oven. He also likes to read, color, & watch sci-fi stuff (Dark Angel, SG-1, Ghost Hunters, etc).

Jeremy age 6 He likes to color, clean the outside, try to sleep in my bed, & candy. He loves milk. He is easy to please & will love anything really. He really likes Hot Wheels cars & is a typical 6 year old.

I use worsted weight yarn. I love scraps as I make scrap afghans. I mainly do granny squares, but that all ties in with my whole scrap afghan thing I got going on. I also make hanger covers if the notion strikes me. PLEASE NO WOOL ITEMS!!
