About Me

I am married and have raised four children. Three sons and a daughter. I majored in art and my daughter followed in my footsteps but is much better than I am. I live in west-central Illinois across the river from St. Louis. I have a dog named Zoe that is spoiled rotten. I collected snowmen and santas but have to stop because I have no more room for them. I love doing crafts of any kind and have been doing them since I was about 9 years old.

ABOUT SWAPS; I always send my swaps out and try to send something extra off your profile. If you do not receive your swap in a normal amount of time please e-mail me and let me know before you give me a low rating. I am more than glad to work with anyone about swaps.

Favorite Music

I love celtic music and music from the 60's thru the 80's. My favorite cd's are Sons of Somerset, Enya, Charolette Church and also Bob Denver.

Favorite Books

I love to read except that I am a speed reader so a book will only last me 2-3 days. I like books of about any kind from a good mystery to romance. Some of my favorite authors are James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Johanna Lindsay, Nora Roberts and John Grisham.

Favorite Movies

Love comedies, romance, mystery and action movies. I especially like them if they have all those rolled into one.

Favorite Television

My favorite TV shows are Law and Order, CSI, Without a Trace, Criminal Minds and Nip Tuck.

Favorite Crafts

I love crafts of about any kind. My favorites are cardmaking, stamping and scrapbooking. I also love painting, decoupage, sewing, jewelry making and woodworking. I like leaded glass but it tears the heck out of your hands. My favorite colors are neutrals (greens,tans,browns) I also like golds,blacks,and reds.

Wish List

Brads of any size color or shape especially cutesy ones.

Embossing powders are my fave.

Any embellishments that can be used on cards charms, buttons, ribbons etc.

Rubber stamps mounted or unmounted new or used.

Comment: Didn't find 'real stamps' on the package which would have been nice to collect. Thank you for the swap.
Response: I am sorry about the stamps. I had a huge amount to mail that day and the minute I got home and went to mark swaps sent I realized that I didn't tell them to put stamps on it so I am sending you some stamps in an envelope and hope that will make up for it. Thank you for the 5 rating.
