my pledge

A little more personal info on me- I am 31, I live in Ontario, Canada but was born and raised in Florida. I have been married for 9 years but we have no children yet. It is a plan for the future.

Here are a few of my interests....

Cooking- I have been cooking my whole life. I am originally from the South so it was a big thing in my family growing up. I enjoy cooking all types of food and I'm actually pretty good at it. I love collecting cookbooks and kitchen items. Feel free to send me recipes that you enjoy, spices you use a lot, cooking utensils, aprons, kitchen decor.

Baking- Same as cooking, it makes me feel really good when I have some fresh baked goods. I love being a Domestic engineer. :) I love to get things related to baking as well. Cookbooks, cupcake baking cups, sugar decorations, cupcake picks, cookie cutters, baking utensils.

Writing- I have been writing since I was a kid and I love to write poetry, childrens stories, horror shorts, pretty much anything. I love to get cool pens and pencils, books or sketch pads to write on, colored pencils, markers.

Journaling- I love to journal and I love collecting journals. I would love to receive altered journals with journaling prompts in it, nice pens, nice journals, journaling prompts.

I decided to make a section on things that I most recently would like to help out my swap partners. These things will more than likely earn you a heart.

ANYTHING BLYTHE!!!! :) I am just getting ready to get my first 12" doll and so I am desperate for clothes, shoes, accessories, furniture, pretty much anything for the dolls.

I would love a handmade crochet bear cap for my blythe.
