I am mother to four grown children- two of which still live at home. I have a wonderful husband and we like to travel alot - especially cruises. I am also a crafter. I dabble in a lot of different crafts and I also like to decorate my home. I like prim, cottage, vintage and beachy style. My dream is to one day have a cottage near the ocean! I love cats. I have three - an orange Persian by the name of Chester, a whte Persian by the name of Bugsy and a tiger cat by the name of Oscar. I ALWAYS send my swaps and ON TIME, unless I notify you otherwise. And, I ALWAYS rate. If you should not get a rating from me, please contact me. It either means I didn't receive anything or I unintentionally forgot!

I like rock 'n roll, soft rock, some country. Definitely no opera!

I'm really into true crime (I know, its sick), romantic novels, biographies, paranormal, thrillers, memoirs, home dec books and craft books. I am looking for the magazine Romantic Country Kitchens July '09. If anyone is willing to part with it, I would sure love to have it. I am also looking for CardMaker magazine June 2008 issue.

I like comedies, romance, thriller (no gore), Christmas movies.

Definitely home dec shows, Hoarders, The Gilmore Girls, Desperate Housewives, King of Queens, Two and a Half Men, anything to do with paranormal.

Paper crafting, some quilting, scrapbooking, altered art. I love to craft with old vintage pictures of people and other ephemera.

Please don't send religious items, anything with roses scent, country lacy items from the 80's era. Also, I do not have any young children in my life, so please do not send anything for little ones. Please don't send me anything that smells of cigarette smoke - yuk!! Pretty much everything else is okay.

I like the colors blue, yellow, red. I have a primitive raggedy ann doll collection. I collect sea glass and shells. I love to go to thrift stores, yard sales and auctions. I love old vintage postcards depicting the holidays. My favorite holidays are CHRISTMAS and the FOURTH OF JULY. My favorite celebrations are VALENTINE'S DAY and HALLOWEEN! I love lighthouses too. I love chocolate - especially M&M's (plain and peanut) and Reese's peanut butter cups. I drink coffee, tea and hot chocolate. I love, love, love tote bags. I adore Minnie Mouse. I would love it if someone would send me a postcard of Minnie Mouse. I like postcards from all over the world. If you are sending me a postcard from someplace other than the U.S., I like scenic or famous places postcards. I like my postcards to be written and stamped unless otherwise noted in a swap. The only other preference regarding postcards is mapcards. Those I prefer unwritten and sent in an envelope. Other likes are cupcakes and old cemetaries. A new kick I am on is mermaids. I'm looking for mermaid kitchy things! (Not Disney)

This is really poor etiquette by the following swap-botters:

Flaked on by Krazychef for Dessert Scavenger Hunt which she was the coordinator for. This ended up being a private swap between she and I because no one else signed up. I spent a lot of money sending her a nice swap - don't know if she received it.....and I never got anything in return. She is partially suspended.

Flaked on by Babs for Liar, Liar Postcard II. She has been removed by Swap-bot.

Flaked on by usafcabralnmnd for Stamped ATC- USA/CANADA. Sent message - no reply. This person is partially suspended.

Flaked on by CraftyTweetie for Dolly Dingle ATC. She is partially suspended.

Flaked on by wocket for ATC Alice in Wonderland - Alice as the Mad Hatter

Thanks, girls!!!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE RATE!!!!!! I PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT AND EFFORT INTO MY SWAPS. BY RATING YOU ARE LETTING ME KNOW THAT YOU RECEIVED MY SWAP.

I know some people will think this is being "picky" of me, but if you read my profile then you will know that my first name (Michele) is spelled with only one "L". I always try to spell people's names correctly, so I would like the same in return. Don't blame me - that's how my parents spelled it!!! LOL Thank you!
