I am originally from Washington State, but currently reside in Wisconsin. I have been wonderfully married for 5 years. I am the mother of three - a daughter and two sons. I absolutely love to bake. So much so that my baking element broke into four pieces on February 1st. It is so much fun trying new recipes. My specialties are pies and cookies. I also enjoy cooking. My favorite color would have to be a deep eggplant/purple. My favorite number is 3. I enjoy having a drink once and a while mostly fruity drinks (but not too sweet) or red wine. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving My favorite Christmas decorating theme in snowmen. My favorite time of day is - Mail Time!

If you were to turn on my radio you would most likely find it on the Christian station. After that would be between the county station or classic rock.

I have enjoyed all the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books. I read the Twilight series and I am currently ready Harry Potter with my daughter. I also enjoy many other random books. For 2009, I read my Bible cover to cover! I have recently started reading some Lisa Harper books, she is a biblical theologian and she is great at explaining the Bible. I have also been laughing with Anita Renfroe, a christian comedian.

I enjoy comedy and romance. Also, some action. I don't watch to many movies, I try and watch them with my husband but I am usually asleep before we are 1/3 of the way into it. I don't know what happened to me this Christmas season, I made it through and did not watch one Christmas movie. I'll have to keep my eye out for after Christmas sales for Frosty and Roudolph.

At this point, I don't watch TV. We do not have cable/satellite and we can't seem to get any local chanels. I did really enjoy watching NCIS.

I enjoy making cards with my Stampin' Up! stamps. I am a new sewer, and I have been finding some fun projects that some day I will try. I recently found some crocheting patterns that look pretty easy - so, I might just have to get a hook and some yarn and try them out.

I love to bake. I make cookies and pies the most. It would be fun to have a cookie scoop so I wouldn't have to use my spoon and fingers. Also having pie weights for prebaking the crust would be nice. I like to have people over and I enjoy having fun serving plates/bowls and little spreaders. I think it would be nice to have cloth napkins to use with company. I have been looking for mini cookie cutters of different shapes. I would like them at about 1" not much bigger, I know that Wilton makes some of these. I have their autumn, romance, christmas and noah's ark 6-piece sets. Also normal size cookie cutters would be nice. Fun shapes such as a martini glass, bandade, shoe, etc. I've been needing some new rubber spatulas or spoonulas as well as one of the Pampered Chef pan scrapers. I also am needing a new set of measuring cups, I have two sets that seem to be missing one or more of the cups. I would like to host a soup dinner with some girlfriends and would like another soup laddle. Fun 16 oz glass glasses.

I have always dreamed of collecting salt and pepper shakers. I thought, wouldn't it be fun to have a new set to put out for different holiday events.

I am a beginning sewer and have been looking for the following: fabric remenants, ribbon, patterns (craft like, not too many clothing I'm not sure how to do that yet).

I collect snowmen.

I would also be interested in some note cards, stationary, colored sharpies, puzzles, a vegitable scrubber, cloth napkins, a bath tub pillow and a floating hot tub tray.
