Update September 28, 2009

I am anxious to get back to swapping but am still really busy. A lot has happened in the last 6 weeks. I've moved to a new town, dropped all my college classes, picked up 2 Bible study classes, decided to home school my 7th and 10th grader and the list goes on. My home is finally starting to look like a home instead of a storage place for boxes. :o) I am axious to get back to crafting but have yet to get all my crafting stuff organized. I have no idea where all the crafting will take place either. Anyway, just wanted to give you all an update and let you know that I hope to be back to swapping soon.

Hi my name is Syndee and I live in the High Desert of Southern California, about 3 hours south of Las Vegas.

I am a born again Christian who loves the Lord and I strive to live for Him the best that I can.

I'm a mother of 3 daughters ages 18, 15, and 13 and a wife of 22+ years. I am getting close to completing my associates degree. I have completed 7 semesters of American Sign Language. There was a time that I thought I could be an interpreter for the Deaf, but now I'm not so sure I am good enough for that. I have no idea what I will do with my degree and whether or not I'll continue my education and work towards a bachelor's degree. First I need to decide what exactly I would like to do. If you have any ideas, please let me know! ;D

I have been a member of Swap-bot since March of 2007.

A note about extras and hearts

I give hearts for the actual swap and not for extras. If the swap puts a smile on my face, you will receive a heart. I always rate fairly and always leave a comment. I do not send extras unless it's something I know you will really love. I hope you will rate my swaps the same.

Some of my favorite crafts are:

Scrapbooking (especially mini albums)

Card making

Baking ( I LOVE to bake!!)

Making ATCs

Chunky books

Skinnies

Tip-ins

Book altering

Altering just about anything

I really love learning new techniques and new crafts. I'm always surfing the internet looking for new ideas and new things to try.

My all time favorite book is "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"

I haven't had much time for reading lately but I did just finish the book "The Shack" by WM. Paul Young which I found so facinating and insightful!

When I have time to read, I enjoy Christian romance, and mysteries. I don't much care for books that have graphic sex or foul language in them.

I dislike:

Rude people

Ungratefulness

Moochers and

Gossip hounds

Nasty pictures

Pagan or Wiccan items

Vampires (They creep me out most of all)

Skulls

Anything with a dark, or horror theme

I am allergic to strong floral scents so please keep that in mind when putting together a swap for me. I don't take baths (don't worry I shower daily! ;D ) so bath salts, bubble bath etc. are not useful to me.

I love scrapbooking supplies, paper, rubber stamps, stamp pads, hearts, the color pink, gingerbread men, popcorn,flavored whole bean or ground coffees, fibers, buttons, ribbon, vintage sewing notions, antique mason jars, 1940's kitchen stuff, adhesives (I'm an adhesive junkie!), chocolate, beads, baskets, bows, blank mini albums, handmade cards, prima flowers, sunflowers, Gerber daisies (especially pink), just about anything pink. I love candles that have fruity or home cooked scents such as Pumpkin spice, Butter Cookies etc.

I Love Lucy

Mash

Andy Griffith

Waltons

Little House on the Prairie

Gomer Pyle USMC

Mary Tyler Moore

Dick Van Dyke

Do you see a pattern here? LOL

I've been doing Netflix and these are the shows I've been enjoying lately:

CSI all of them

NCIS

Psych

Law and Order all of them
