Favorite Music

Mostly Christian with wonderful harmony so I can sing alto or tenor with it.

Country when it is about good values, not drinking or cheating on your spouse

Favorite Crafts

Is there anything that doesn't go here!! I sew clothing, quilts, and alter wedding dresses. I scapbook and make cards. I love hand stitching anything, appliqueing, fine crocheting, tatting. I am craving to try altered books and other items.
I make a bit of simple jewelry. I sew fabric postcards and wall hangings

About Me

I am in my mid 50's with 4 wonderful, pretty much grown children.

I square and round dance with my dear hubby.

I teach Sunday School and junior church and sing alto or tenor on a 5 woman worship team.

I have a beautiful perennial garden where I spend my summers. It has kitchen stuff in it for decorations, like trivets under the windows, plates around the foundation of the house, pots and pans on the garden shed, an old wringer washer, even a kitchen sink where the well spills over. I shall put some pictures on my photostream!

I volunteer in a children's Bible club and boy scouts.

I try to adhere to the philosophy of First Jesus, then others, then me.

Favorite Movies

Chic flicks without bad language

Favorite Television

HGTV and other decorating shows, old movies, and craft shows.

Swap information

For my swap buddies!!! I wouldn't use cartoony things, candles, or smelly stuff. I don't use stickers very often.

I love anything bird (more or less realistic), and garden stuff, especially ROSES ROSES ROSES. I love FABRICS, stamps, "stuff" for scrapbooking, miniatures, shabby chic, family, organic, ribbon, laces, beads, fibers.

Colors in my home are cream, light sage green, honey colored wood, with pops of cranberry and indigo blue.

I hope this helps get you started. Just to think of getting a package in the mail is so exciting!!!

Comment: Thank you so much!! The pin is stunning (I don't collect worry dolls, but I do make them and I love the pin!) The Tea cozy is perfect and deserves lots of hearts!!
Response: I have lots of little practice worry dolls left over! I thought I had seen that you collected them. I guess I made it up in a dream? />\ But I am glad you like the pin. I did see your dolls on your Etsy site. They are cute, very different from mine. I saw a picture of a little Guatamalan girl selling dolls like mine. So I thought you might like something different. I hope you have a pot for the cozy. I'm going to make one for myself as it really looks cozy!!! Happy swapping. Thanks for the heart!!

Comment: no name so i think is yours past due date.
Response: Wasn't my name on the outside of the envelope? And as we had corresponded, I had to resend. I did send this on time originally and think your rating is unfair. I never got the first one back. I will never send without delivery confirmation again. Please reconsider. 3 ratings are not for lateness on a resend but that the package didn't contain all it was supposed to. Did you like any of the papers I sent?

: ) You're very welcome!! Yes, in swaps it's a good idea to write a little note with your swap specifying your user name on SwapBot & also which swap it is for (as like me, there are some who sign up for quite a few swaps at a time) : ) I look forward to sending you something, too! :) Have a wonderful rest of your week & weekend. God Bless! (hugs)
