Ike Update: We are back at our mobile home and are having to move all our belongings out, due to a water line bursting while we were gone that has flooded the flooring in a couple of rooms. I have 3 swaps to get out. Please be patient, I will get them out in the next couple of days. Thank you for understanding.

Just wanted to let my swap partners know that I am behind on a couple because of having to evacuate due to the hurricane. We didn't have any damage From GUSTOV and are back home.

I'm a Southern girl in Louisiana that is a SAHM. I am a very Positive person and really dislike being around people who are always negative. I previously taught high school Business and Computers, but I have enjoyed being a SAHM for 4 years now. I Love my family and have an awesome hubby and boy/girl tweens who are almost 7 & 8. I also have a 20 yr old son that blessed me with a precious little grandson who was born on April 13, 2008. His name is Dallas.

I lost my 24 year old daughter on January 20, 2008 from a tragic pitbull attack by her pets. I try to keep my mind and my hands busy with my crafts and running after Calli and Alex.

I have put lots of stuff on my profile so I can be easier to swap with and it's so much easier for me to complete a swap when I look at someone's profile with lots of options!

*Cupcake Recipe Books, DIY papercraft mags and lots of the monthly magazines. I especially like State magazines. I get the Louisiana Culture and Texas Monthly locally. I really don't have time to read a complete book!

I don't collect ATC's unless they are made for the kids in one of the themes that they like. They do collect them! None of us like licorice or bitter candy.

We have a precious little 2 year old Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie) whose name is Junior. He only weighs about 4 1/2 pounds. He loves getting suprises and would LOVE to do a swap with someone or their family pet. Junior wears a size small because his hair is so thick. He just can't squeeze into the xs anymore! He loves very small doggie toys or tough little kiddie stuffies to run and hide from Calli and Alex. His favorite food is chicken and chocolate chip cookies, but he likes to try any kind of new treats. His favorite store is Target and Petsmart because they have cute little boy clothes! Junior likes hand-me-downs also that his little pet friends have outgrown!
