UPDATE:

Hi Everyone,
It's so good to be back but first off I want to say "thank you" to all of you that sent me messages letting me know you were thinking of us and praying for us even after I had been off the site for so long. It's amazing how total strangers can help heal your heart, you are the best.

O.K., now for some info to get to know me:

• I am married with a wonderful 24 year old son and I am patiently waiting on him to find the right girl to spend the rest of his life with so I can have some grandchildren but right now he is having to much fun being single.

• I have a great-nephew that is 3 and a great-niece that is 1 and they both have me wrapped around their little fingers so just call me "Great-Aunt Mush"

• My favorite saying is:

  "Organized people are just to lazy to look for stuff"

  I would love to have a cross stitch or something with this saying on it for my scrapbooking room (if you seen my scrapbooking room you would understand why I love this saying so much) It does not need to be put in a frame, I can do that because that would cost to much to send.

• I love animals and have 3 cats and a dog and will feed any stray that comes to my house.

• I love to drop pennies on the ground and hope it makes someone feel lucky when they find it and gives them something to smile about.

• I have been scrapbooking and card making/rubber stamping for several years.

• I absolutely love garage/yard sales and have found some unbelieveable deals. My car just seems to turn when there is a garage sale sign.

• Fall is my favorite time of the year

• When we moved to our present home I took one of the bedrooms for my computer/scrapbooking room and I am still in the process of trying to figure out how I want to organize it. I painted the room a bright yellow (love bright bold colors, never have been a pastel kind of girl) and have tie dyed curtains that have bright yellow, pink, green, blue, purple and orange in them so it's a very fun-happy room and I love to be in it, plus...it's all mine :-)

• Any scrapbooking, rubber stamping and cardmaking books/magazines. I find several at yard sales so I'm not picky if they're used as long as pages are not all ripped out.

• Obviously my passion is scrapbooking, rubber stamping, cardmaking and papercrafts.

• I have a group of friends and we get together every few months and make cards and 3D projects to raise money for our Dig For Life program through our hospital that we work at. In the 4 sales that we have held we have raised and donated almost $5,000 which is used for cancer related issues, 100% of the sales goes to this cause. Any extra supplies you have on hand or cannot use would be greatly appreciated.

• Since joining swap-bot I have fell in love with Whimsy Jars and Matchbox swaps

I can listen to just about anything except rap and heavy metal. Love the older rock and roll, like the newer country and the Time Life Christian music collection.

• Besides my family, pets and friends

• Getting anything handmade from someone, it's just knowing they took the time to make it that makes it so special, it doesn't matter what it is, I will always treasure it. If it is jewelry I have pierced ears and love earrings, necklaces need to be at least 20"or longer, bracelet's need to be 8" (I don't mean to sound picky but I just don't want someone making something beautiful for me that I can't wear)

• I love coins and paper currency/money from other countries, I think it's facinating.

• Any kind of embellishments, prima flowers, die cuts, themed brads, plain or beaded hat pins, embossing stencils, little charms that I can use on scrapbooking pages or cards, anything with "bling", etc.

• Any rubber stamps or acrylic stamps, I don't mind ones that you've already used and are tired of because they're still new to me.

• Getting stamped images that I can color in, I think it's a fun way to get extra images that you may not have.

• Playing with my die cutting machines, cricut, big shot, revolution, cuttlebug, sizzix sizzlit and all my punches.

• Watercolor pencils, copic markers, stickles, scrapbooking floss, glitter pens etc.

• Paper piecing and would love to learn how to do it.

• Going to crops and weekend retreats and meeting new friends.

• Being with my friends having a fun girls day.

• Items that have a scrapbooking or rubber stamping theme on them like cloth bags or totes, cute pictures of scrapbookers with a funny saying etc.

• Any cute fun tote bag, bought or handmade

• Just knowing that I am being thought of

• I love to smile at people and believe that if everyone smiled at one stranger every day that hopefully some day everyone would be smiling at each other.

• I love it when someone tells you that something you said or did "made their day", it just gives me a warm feeling

• Going to historical sites

• I love planning parties, family reunions and weekend scrapbooking retreats.

• I know this is crazy but I love to make lists, that way I can mark off stuff that I've done and feel like I've accomplished something...o.k., yes, I have been known to write down something I've already done just so I can mark it off.

• Love fun looking embellished notebooks to write in, it makes it even more fun when I make my lists :-)

• I love the cute yellow rubber duckies.

• I love the fact that my birthday is in June because with Christmas being in December I know I am going to get presents every 6 months whether I'm good or not!!

• I love all holidays

• And I love rainy days and snow :-)

I do not want to offend anyone with my dislikes, these are things I do not like or do not need but I have no problem if you are my partner to buy them for you if they are on your list :-)

• I do not use felt or foam embellishments

• I do not like rude, not nice people.

• I do not like people to hold prejudices against another person because of their race, religion, gender or sexuality. We are all the same race, it's called the Human Race.

• I do not like cigarette smoke or anything that smells like it (bad allergies)

• I do not like any strong floral scents (allergies again)

I don't really watch a lot of tv but when I do the shows I enjoy are HGTV, DIY, Foresnic Files, Cold Case, History channel, Lifetime channel, Hallmark channel.

My favorite movies are comedy's and chick flicks, also love the Hallmark movies. Do not like western's or horror shows.

.My project that I would like to get started on and actually get finished would be:

• organizing my photo's

• organizing my scrapbooking room

• decluttering my house

• landscaping my front and back yard

• I'm pretty much of a girly-girl, I like to be happy and love life and everything it brings....well, maybe I don't love the bad stuff that it sometimes brings but I try to keep a positive outlook and try to remember that stupid saying "everything happens for a reason" who made up that saying anyway???

• I am very easy to please and love being a part of this group. If for some reason your swap is going to be late please let me know so I don't think you're flaking on me. I understand life happens and this is suppose to be fun for everyone so please don't stress if something comes up, just let me know.

• I love to do random acts of kindness just to brighten someone's day.

• I want the person that I send a swap to be as excited about getting it as I am about sending it.

• I will always rate your swap but if I ever forget to rate you please send me an email, sometimes I feel like the scarecrow on the Wizard Of Oz...if I only had a brain!!!
