About Me

I'm a 40 something female that loves to knit and read. I have a husband and 3 children and I teach school- 4th Grade in the UAE. I live in the United Arab Emarites in Al Ain. I sing in a Masterworks Choir and I love most colors, but yellow really makes me smile. I drink tea all the time (love black teas), but I am HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO CHAMOMILE AND MINT TEAS MAKE ME ILL!

Favorite Music

Classical and jazz are my two favorites. I especially love Brazilian Jazz!

Favorite Movies

The Color Purple, Babe the Pig, Glory, Steel Magnolias and other movies that are similar. I must admit I love a good Lifetime movie, as well. The Spiderman trilogy rocks! I've always loved Star Trek!!!

Favorite Television

House, Hell's Kitchen,Star Trek - all of them!, Project Runway, Glee, General Hospital.

Favorite Crafts

Knitting socks is my favorite hobby. I love to knit socks with different colors - esp. bright colors! I'm working on my embroidery skills as well. I also love to read and I like to hear about what others are reading. I like to journal, but have been flaked on most of the journal swaps I've done.

These are a Few of my Favorite

I love: black Teas , orange, chai. Reading, Baking bread and other goodies from scratch! Recipes are always fun, and I really like them on recipe cards. I love historical fiction - esp. about the kings and queens of England.
I would love hand-made cards! Wild birds are a new hobby of mine.

Handmade Things I'd Love

malas (also known as prayer beads or rosaries)

hand sewn items would be a real treat! A tea wallet, over the chair sewing organizer, etc.

Address labels would be great!

Comment: Thanks, it's great to get a list of good books that I would like to read also [it may be a first in the past two years]. Plus I loved the photos you added to your list.
Response: Thanks for the nice comment. It means a lot coming from you! I was worried because with all of the school work and culture shock I did not read my usual volume. Thank God (Allah, Goddess, Buddah, whatever) I have a Kindle!

Hello!

Just randomly dropped by your profile, and wanting to say that God Loves you deeply, more than you can imagine and fathom. I hope that you and your family are getting together... and always P.U.S.H.(Pray Until Something Happens). God bless!

I love the ribbon assortment you sent to me for the Ultimate Year of Happy #17 RAK swap. Thanks so much!

Here's a late December Wishlist thank you! Thank you so much for sending my children Christmas cards and teas - they love them! Thank you also for sending me a card (and teas) telling me about your holiday donations. I loved hearing about it. :-) My kids loved putting "their" cards on our front door. (We decorate our front door with all the holiday card we receive) Thank you again!

I am your partner for the prayer journal and as I have looked back over it, it isn't the most creative journal but it is from my heart. What are you looking for in the swap? I would like to make you happy with the swap so should I go back and redo (not the prayers) so it looks better or do you want the orginal? I really took this prayer journal serious but it isn't cute. Let me know what would please you the most in this swap and I will be happy to redo it I need to. Sarah (sbuck)
