Hi! Don't know where to start, there is so much to say about me! I'm a MOTHER, WIFE, sister, daughter, aunt, friend. I grew up in the same city I was born, moved to two different cities and found my way back to my home town. I love the rain and thunderstorms! I love swapping, I see it as a way for me to relieve my stress. I love all things creative!! Creating is definitely a hobby of mine. Some other hobbies of mine include: pen paling, scrapbooking, photography, stamping (I'm obsessed with Stampin' up!), finding things to do outdoors, hanging out, rollerblading, going for walks, reading, spending time with my family, going to see friends, etc. I hope to make some awesome swaps here and meet new people. I really love Private crafty swaps so if you're interested in a private swap please PM me!!!!

I just love music in general! I love hip hop, 80's (I pretty much love every song from the movie The Wedding Singer), r and b, pop, rock, alternative, oldies, etc. Some groups/artists/bands I like are: John Mayer, Lil Wayne, U2, Josh Groban, Incubus, Switchfoot, Three Days Grace, Paramore, FlyLeaf, The Rollingstones, Kanye West, Jay-Z, and the list could go on.

If you're going to be late in sending out a swap then please PM me to let me know. :) I understand when things happen.

Things I don't enjoy are: Americana/Country type decor, goth type things, printed copies of weird old photographs of people(vintage).. that creeps me out more then anything..
