TO SWAP PARTNERS: Please put swap name and your screen name someone on the swap! Thanks!!!

Update: 3/28/13: Added pets to my profile.

UPDATE: 10/21/12: As of yesterday my father was put into the hospital. I don't know how long he will be in there. So I will be on off and on to check in. I am sorry if any swaps are late or what have you, but my fathers health is more important right now! Thank you for understanding.

Updated 10/7/12: Fall is upon us and so is vacation. I added some new IMPORTANT information for my swap partners---so PLEASE read if you are one of my swap partners! Thank you!!!!

I am in my 30's single and no kids. I do date someone. I live with my sister, who is both a sister...a friend...and a PITA, but I love here--she is there through thick and thin for me!!! I also live with my 2 nephews! Aaron just turned 18 and yes as with any other 18 year old he knows it all!! Kevin just turned 17, as with Aaron he thinks he knows it all! I love both of my nephews to no end even if they are bigger PITA's then their mother. I was there when both of them took their first breath of air, watched them grow into crazy young men...they are like they are my own sons. There is not much I would not do for them.

I have a lot of different things that I am into. The two that are at the top of my list are DISNEY and collecting postcards from around the world.

VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT send anything with yellow 5 lake or yellow 6 lake die's in anything. I have found out on Oct 2nd that I can no longer eat anything with them in the food!!!!

Your understanding in this is very thankful on my part!

I love scrapbooking and counted cross-stiching. I also enjoy decorating cakes and making home made candy. I have been known to make my own christmas tree ordaments.

I am only putting this on here incase I take on a swap where people need to know my likes, dislikes and so on. So here gos-the likes....

• anything and everything DISNEY (I go every year)
• Cooking and anything to do with it
• cake decorating-yes I do know how to do it :)
• collecting postcards from all over the world
• collecting recipes
• scrap-booking
• tea-almost any kind
• traveling -shot glass's (collected them as a child then stopped now back into collecting them) -anything for reptiles--I have geckos (2 house and 2 leopard ones) and I also have 2 fire bellyed toads -anything for fish (have a lot of them one just had many babys -anything for cats-roommate has 3 of them

DISLIKES

I am only putting this on here in case I take on a swap where people need to know my likes, dislikes and so on. So here gos-the dislikes....

• Coffee
• Nuts-CAN NOT HAVE
• things that smell-like candles, cant have because they make me sick

VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT send anything with yellow 5 lake or yellow 6 lake die's in anything. I have found out on Oct 2nd that I can no longer eat anything with them in the food!!!!

I love postcards. With them you can see diffrent parts of the world. So if you want to send any...I love them all!!!!! I like mine stamped and mailed unless the swap calls for them to be sent another way. To me the stamp tells as much about a place as the postcard itself.

I love cooking and baking. I just don't like cleaning up the mess when I am done! :) I love any kind of recipes, cook books or anything to do with cooking or baking.

Recipes....I love them. I love old ones the most along with old family recipes. I have some of my grandmothers that I use to this day...got to love her 10 batch chocolate chip cookie recipe! If you are in a recipe swap with me you don't have to put them on recipe cards, I like mine just copied because I put them in a "cookbook" that I have made. So save the recipe card...unless the recipe fits 100% on the front...and just copy and send me the sheet of paper!

Again just for recipe swap FYI:

I can not have: NUTS and do not like coffee

Dessert recipes are the most welcomed!!!!!!

I love to read...I have a job where I sit on the net or read books. I read almost any thing. I DO NOT like si-fi, mistory or crime books. I love more or less everything else.

I love to travel...or should I say the thought of traveling. After years of saying I was going to get my passport I finally did...yes the photo looks like a mug shot from the jail! :D There is sooo many places that I want to travel to. Because of this I am always looking/love to get information on different places...from anywhere in the world! Sometimes you find the dumbest thing to see that turns out to make the whole trip a fun one! So information on your area is always welcome.

After 10 years of no pets I now have a house full of them! For some reason I have fell in love with reptiles. So now I have 6 of them and maybe soon to be 9!

I have 2 fire bellied toads named frogger and Killer. Killer is my first pet in 10 years. She is a picky toad. She was in mostly water, but thought she would be happy with earth and a little water....that back fired she likes A LOT of water and a little earth!!! Frogger is a boy, he scares my roommate because he barks! Yes I said barks!!!!

I have 2 leopard geckos named Mickey and Minnie. Both of them are girls! They are fun to watch.

I have 2 house geckos named Lilo and Stitch. They are cute but for some reason all they like to do is stay in the hide-away log!

I have A LOT of fish...one had 29 babys so I now have over 30 fish! Anyone want one? :D just kidding.

My roommate has 3 crazy cats.

So I have gone from having no pets to being in a house with over 25 pets. Sad part is that most of them came in one week! So any swaps I am in and ya want to send pet things go ahead!

I send my swaps out with in a few days of partners being given out. Or I try to, sometimes life happens...if this is the case and can not get it in the mail by the swap mail date, then i will send a PM not only to my partner but the swap host to let each of them know what is going on. If you do not get a swap from me PLEASE let me know ASAP. I take swaping very sericly. Also PLEASE rate, it is only a small thing but important.

An added note on swapping...people that don't live up to the swap rules set forth by the host I will start rating a 3. I will also rate a 3 if there is no contact made by swap date that you will be late mailing. I understand that life happens, but it is also respect to contact as soon as you know you are not going to mail on time.

Happy SWAPING
