About Me
Finishing the swaps I signed up for, then taking a swap break...just had to get a restraining order on my ex-boyfriend, and trying to move...too much chaos!!!
I am a 39 year old woman, mother of two girls....Mikayla is 17 and Ember-Lynne is 11. Mikayla lives with me, and Ember-Lynne lives with her father. I have Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Panic Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I live in Vermont. I couldn't survive without my computer! I am looking to make new friends. I only have a couple friends and I'm lonely! I tend to be quiet and shy when first getting to know people.
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia on 4/5/12 by my rheumatologist.
Things I love: The color pink (pink everything!), Stickers, Glitter, Wolves, Greeting cards, Roses, Fancy pens, My two cats, Hermione and Tia, and cat items (things with cats on them), Books, the color purple, stuffed wolves and teddy bears, Lisa Frank, delicate jewelry NOTE: I am allergic to Nickel, Nene Thomas, Jessica Galbreth, Renaissance faires, Facebook (keeps me up to date with the friends I have), cool pins, pretty, cute, or sexy witches (no warts please), fall/autumn things...(scents, decorations)...Princess Diana...she was my hero...
DISLIKES: The colors red and orange (for clothing and accessories and stuff, though I do like them in fall items), vintage/old items, onions, prejudiced people, hot/spicy food, coconut, can't chew nuts. ALSO: I am very low income, so would welcome surprises, but please understand I will be sticking to fairly low cost swaps for a reason. I won't send you junk, but I won't normally be spending $25 on a single swap either.
I am a HUGE Angelina Jolie fan. It's really a bit of a crush, lol. I think she's sexy and gorgeous on the outside, and beautiful on the inside.
for bath/body type items...I wear the Avon perfume Far Away only. I like body wash in floral scents. Some fruits scents are ok, but no grapefruit or lemon. Nothing with a lot of moisturizing as I am prone to acne. I don't use shower gel. I don't usually take baths, just showers, so shower stuff is better. I like pretty floral or girly scented hand lotions, but really I have plenty. No "fresh clean" scents. I don't wear makeup, but I love glittery temporary tattoos! My podiatrist told me I need to wear socks at all times, day and night, so I love cute socks, especially fuzzy socks, but not ankle or no-show.
for teas: I prefer mint teas, and in general I don't like fruit teas. No pomegranate pizzazz or orange spice for me please. My current favorite tea is Triple Mint Tranquility by Teekanne, and I am having trouble finding it close to me, so if you have some extra I would love it. I also like Sleepytime tea, green teas, vanilla tea, caramel or honey, Candycane, and dessert teas. I've only tried a couple of loose teas but am willing to try more. While I don't like Orange Spice, I would like to try Pumpkin Spice. I can't have anything with grapefruit in it as it interacts with some of my medicines. I will take any kind as I can swap what I don't like, but it isn't fair for me not to get ANYTHING I like!
Favorite Music
Evanescence, Three Days Grace, Bon Jovi, Enter the Haggis, tatu, Celine Dion, Garth Brooks, Diamond Rio, Matchbox Twenty, Faith Hill, Jason Mraz, Poison, Celtic Woman, The Green Children, and many more!

Wishlist
Pretty bookmarks, stickers, fancy/pretty pens, Smash book stuff!!!, pink things, sparkly/glittery things, pretty tins/bags/boxes (I have a thing for containers), things with my name (Heather) on them, Amazon gift cards, Tea and tea supplies (cups, saucers, spoons, tea themed items)
I have just started getting into making my own art journals and homemade Smash books and am loving it. Who would have thought? I am not an artistic person, or so I believed. I would love anything to help me with this, rubber stamps in shapes, phrases, flora and fauna; pretty/cool scrapbook papers, colored cardstock, various paper bits...wrapping paper, sheet music, origami paper, vellum papers; various charms, tags in various sizes and patterns, chipboard shapes, letters, words; washi tape
beads (not seed beads though! No tiny holes please!), anything wolf related as long as they aren't snarling/looking angry, soft fuzzy socks, especially in pink, black, or purple. Stripes, dots, flowers etc welcome. I have to wear socks all the time (all day and night, even in Summer) due to a condition so the more cute socks the better...but please no toe socks, ankle socks, or no-show socks.
New items for my purse. I am one who carries a large purse and fills it. I've tried joining Fill My Handbag swaps but while I send purse things like keychains, lip balm, and tylenol I tend to get stickers and socks and things back. Nice, but not what I was excited for! I would love travel size tylenol (can't take ibuprofen), flavored lip balms (please no cherry), hand wipes, scented hand sanitizer, sugar free gum, scrunchies, emery boards, sugar free breath mints, neosporin, tide stain release pens, bobby pins, etc.
Interesting buttons (shapes, painted, please no plain ones...I have a button collection and am always excited to add new ones), Celtic items. Magnets. Postcards. Pretty or cool keychains...I collect these too. 2X or 22/24W tshirts in pinks, purples, greys, black, or navy blue. Items with the triple goddess symbol. )O( Earrings that are nickel free. I wear posts or small dangly ones.

Nail polish....unless it is the special ones with no formaldehyde, toluene, or phthalates...I love nail polish, in pinks, purples, or soft colors, but the smell of normal nail polish literally makes me throw up! I have to use low odor dry erase markers and use Sharpies in short bursts as well.

My daughter Mikayla
is 17, loves anything to do with horses (started riding at 13 and is crazy about them)...stories, stickers, clothing...I've always wanted to get her a Breyer horse, but they are too expensive. She wears a woman's large top. Her favorite color is pink, just like me. :) She loves animals, and wants to be a horse trainer. She really loves cats. She likes to draw...she's not an artist, but she plays with drawing cats and horses in her school notebooks. She likes coffee flavored stuff, and candy, especially chocolate. She can't have gum or nuts because she has braces. She loves Harry Potter, bubble baths, nail polish, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, shopping with me at Walmart, unicorns, stuffed animals...especially teddy bears, horses, or cats. She loves to sing. I got her a horse tshirt last summer, and she wears it all the time. She shares my love of fuzzy socks. She loves medical shows (she shares that with me! We both love ER, Mystery Diagnosis, Untold Stories of the ER, anything like that...she loves medical and horse video games too)
Stickers I love
Hearts, rainbows, stars, wolves, cats, flowers, Goth (if you search goth stickers on ebay it turns up dark/goth fairies, black roses, Emily the Strange, witches...love those kinds, not skulls and stuff), stuff with glitter, quotes, Lisa Frank, Nene Thomas, fairies, castles, Heather, girly, trees, autumn, Christmas, snowflakes, birthday, Harry Potter...........
please no Peanuts, Mickey Mouse and friends, Kawaii, Betty Boop, skulls, skeletons, blood, Marilyn Manson, vintage, baby, Powerpuff girls, Christian, spiders, Nightmare Before Christmas

I am so sorry that I forgot to put the note with our Traditions in it... We put our tree together on Thanksgiving, Circle of Lights in Downtown Indianapolis , the day after., (we just got home from that!) and this weekend we will take our grandchildren and our children to Christmas at the Zoo... Then we will bake and deliver goodies all over the city as my 7 year old Michael loves to "Bless others"... It is truly a joy!!!!!
