About Me

My name is MaryAnn not Mary. I do not like to be called Mary. I am a 60 year old widow of 1 year with 1 daughter who is 26. I live in the country and have quite a few animals. I have a 3 year old goat that I raised from 1-2 days old. 2 peacocks, and 1 peahen. They are beautiful and I have raised 5 babies. I used to have a white male who someone left out and a female who died. I have 3 pigeons which were my husbands. They are rollers and in the summer I like to lay out and watch them fly and roll. I love to hear their wings whipping in the wind. I have a mini lop eared rabbit, a shi tsu dog named Cookie Ann and 2 large parrot fish. I have deer, raccons, possums, skunks and even a bear wondering threw my yard. I love plants, flowers and shrubs, birds and the outside. My favorite colors are blue and purple, animal prints, and jewelry, one of a kind. I have just started to do Iris folding and have done Christmas, Thanksgiving, a baby card, and now Valentines cards. So many neat ones to make, but they take some time to do. I am just trying out swap-bot to see if I like it, I would never Flake anyone. That is so unfair. There is still alot I need to learn about swap-bot. I crochet and do ceramics, I have my own kiln. Just wanted to let you all know I am enjoying Swap-bot with all the help from all the wonderful people I have swapped with so far.

Likes: I love anything to do with animals, birds, plants, flowers, fish, gardening, etc. MY favorite colors are blue and purple. Love any kind of Jewelry as long as it is one of a king. I love animal prints, flowers, anything colorful. Dislikes: None that I know of. It is always exciting to open a package from some one you don't know.

About Me

Hi everyone> I want to thank you all for the fun swaps these past few months. I am going to take a break from swapping so I can finally get some stuff done around my house. It really needs to be done. I have been down due to the passing of my husband and now that the weather is getting nicer I am hoping I will get some energy and get some things done around here. So don't be worried if you don't hear from me for awhile. You can email me at [email protected] and I will keep up with the pen pals that I do have. I want to thank all my swap partners and pen pals, you have made my days alot brighter. Hopefully, when I come back we can be swappers again. Everything I have gotten was really nice and I could tell you all put alot of effort into the swaps. There is one thing> If any of you see a Christmas Swap for Christmas ornaments please notifiy me and let me know so I can join that swap. I have heard about the one where you send out like 10 or 12 Christmas ornaments and I sure would love to join a swap like that. Again, thank you all. LOVE TO YOU ALL and Happy Swapping. Love, MaryAnn maryannr1742

About Me

Hi Everyone> I'm back!!!!! Really missed getting all those cool things in the mail. I actually have been getting some stuff done around here. But still lots to do, but I just couldn't stay away. Especially for the note and tote swaps as I have seen some really cool ones lately that I want to send out and my birthday is coming up in Sept. Still looking for an awesome Christmas swap of ornaments. Hopefully someone will host one. Just swapped some cool stuff for one of my friends from here for her sisters birthdays!!!!!!!!!! Hope they enjoy the gifts and cards. Still want to try Button Fairies or Bead Fairies. So awesome>the ones I have seen from all you creative people out there. So hopefully, I will be swapping with some of my good friends from here really soon. And looking forward to all you new ones out there. Hope this return will be as great as the first time.

Comment: Thanks very much. Hope you have your power back by now! I was JUST at Joanne's and almost bought some gold chain. Changed my mind and when I got home I opened your package. Perfection. Thanks!!!
Response: Wonderful!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that funny how things work sometimes. I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!! Yes we got our power back after a whole week on Sat., but tonight with all the rain, we lost it again for over an hour. I wasn't a very happy camper. I'm really tired of all this stuff. So glad you liked the goodies and thank you for the heart. Love, MaryAnn maryannr1742

Comment: Thank you for the lovely bag, I know that I would love the Christmas Tree Shopps. The bag is really nice and my grandson will love the puzzle he likes bugs. My grandaughters will love the kool tablets, my son already made off with some of them. I really enjoyed the note you sent and was wondering if you would like another pen pal. Thank you again and have a nice day. Kathy (sas)
Response: Hi Kathy, So happy you liked everything. I just love those kool-aid tablets. We had those when we were kids and they have brought them back. They still are very fresh because they are individually wrapped and I am still using mine. I knew the little guy would love the bug. I love them myself. Happy there was something for everyone. Yes, I will be your pen pal. Always, like meeting new people and finding out about their lives. So enjoy. Love, MaryAnn maryannr1742

Comment: hello maryann :) i got the bag today and i love it, thank you! i also adore the feathers and they really are amazing to look at :) chinchillas aren't stinky like ferrets are but you do have to clean the cage very often because they are little poo machines, haha. discworld is a series of books by terry pratchett :p they are fantasy stories but they are very funny and satirical. the books are very easy to find! :) you should try one. i'm sure we will keep in touch and i hope we will bump into each other on another swap sometime! :) thank you again.xxx
Response: Hi Jay, Just tickled that you liked the bag and the peacock feathers. I knew you would. Yes, please lets keep in touch. Will have to try one of those books. I volunteered at the Scholastic Book Sale at the Warehouse here in Middletown. For every hour I volunteer I get 10.00 in books and even more now because the books are mostly all half price, some 25% off and some 80% off. I did 3 boxes of books, you can fill a box with lots of books, and he told me to wait until Fri or Sat. next week and instead of being 25.00 a box they will be 12.95 a box. So how exciting is that. My daughter went wild. I got some things too. Plus I loved working there. I had lots of fun and met alot of nice people. Might try to get in there part time. ONly 20 hours per week, but off for the summer. So that suits me and its close to home. I need something else to do. Love, MaryAnn maryannr1742

Comment: Thank you for the lovely mask. My kids thought the light up part was cool even though it dug into their eyes lol.
Response: So glad you liked the mask. I got it at Dollar tree store, thought it would be cool if it lit up. I think you can just remove the holders for that if you want to. I saw on the net that you can buy stuff to make a mask? Did you make yours or did you use one already made like mine? It actually was a kids mask, I just sanded it and painted it and glittered it first and then applied all the rest. Happy Swapping. Love, MaryAnn maryannr1742

Comment: Thank you so much, sorry I didn't get to this sooner, we are moving shortly, so it's chaos! as home. You have a great talent.
Response: Thank you, I know what you mean, I couldn't even imagine moving after living here for 41 years,but I've actually lived here all my life>19 years next door with my parents and then 39 years being married and 2 years without my husband. I just couldn't imagine getting all this stuff together and moving. Good luck on your move and I hope you had a Happy Easter. Love, MaryAnn maryannr1742

Hi MaryAnn

Thanks for checking me out!

Binka is like cross stitch aida but quite big for kids.

Would be very kind if you could get me some Tic Tacs or Bazooka Joes, happy to swap you something for them if you'd like? My hubby managed to get some Lucky Charms last week, he was like a big kid!!!

I'll send you a Scrabble tile with your tote, there are lots of tutorials how to do them on the net.

Thank you for the beautiful iris-folded pig! It's the first one I've ever received, and it is lovely. I am going to give it a place of honor.
