Hi anyone who chooses to read this. My husband and I finally started going back to church. (It's the only place I feel peace.) I'm going through another down period. I am running a day or two behind on sending swaps. I apologize. I will get them caught up, and then I will back out for awhile. I don't like how I feel during these times and like even less the thoughts I have. Hope you can forgive me for sending late. -Alicia

I enjoy gospel music, country style (traditional or modern) instrumental. Some artist that I particularly enjoy are Yanni, Bucky Covington, Chris Daughtry, and Eric Church - he's from the town next to where I live. Some of my favorite songs are "Arms of an Angel", my daughter had it played at my son's funeral. "Go Rest High on the Mountain", "Time in a Bottle" and "How would I live Without You".

Any Beverly Lewis,

Janetta Oakes (Here is a list of the ones I have: They Called Her Mrs. Doc,Like Gold Refined, The Meeting Place, The Birthright, Sanctuary, Beyond the Gathering Storm, Winter is not Forever, When Calls the Heart, The Postcard).

Family orientated story lines. Nora Lewis, and John Grishom.

I DO NOT like harlequin romance or anything on that line. I like "How To" books on woodworking, crafts, crochet patterns, sewing, miniatures (doll house miniatures). I love reading old books about simple themes, every day living way back when. Some favorite magazines are "The Good Old Days", Reminisce", "Mother Earth News" and "Taste of Home".

My all time favorite movie is "It's a Wonderful Life" black and white version, Driving Miss Daisy and the Color Purple. Again I like family style movie, Hallmark Type. I enjoyed "Game Time"with The Rock, RVing" with Robin Williams. Robin Williams is also my favorite comedian along with Whoopi Goldberg.

I am a fan of Survivor, Big Brother, Hell's Kitchen. Law and Order, NCIS, CSI,NY, House and ER (can't believe this is ER's last season) The Walton's and Little House are still favorites too. I watch ALOT of HGTV, DIY, and Food Network.

My favorite craft is sewing which I have been doing since I was 9 years old. I LOVE buttons, old, new, unusual I love 'em all. I do plastic canvas, crocheting, woodworking, scrap booking, embroidery work, miniatures (doll house) and cooking, I have a massive collection of cook books.

I DO NOT LIKE OWLS...they creep me out. And I am afraid of worms/caterpillars ! Everyone stop laughing, I really am afraid of them. I also fear failure. I don't judge people of other faiths or beliefs but would prefer not to receive witchcraft, tarot cards, Wicca, etc. as I will not keep it in my home. My God is a mighty God and Jesus is my Savior.

I had 2 children, a boy named James and a daughter named Mary. They ARE my life, my soul, my being. I lost my son 5 years ago on June 5th. He committed suicide, and part of me just isn't anymore.There's a whole in my heart and don't believe it will ever heal. I live with a fear that I'll lose my daughter too, so she is constantly on my mind. I joined this sight so i could be involved with something that is JUST for and by me. When I make or create something I put my whole heart into it. If anyone is ever disappointed then please let me know so that I can make it right. I have Crone's Disease, Chronic Re-occurring Depression, IBS and Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and so on and on and on.

I am a simple, earthy person, I don't lie, cheat or steal and don't tolerate it around me.

My daughter joined Swap-bot...YEAH!!! HER SWAP-BOT NAME IS "PRONKBETH" She is a Super Daughter! 03/15/10. I now have 10 grandchildren; 4 boys and 6 girls, with another one due on or before Nov 3. The youngest boy, we have custody of. what a joy to have so many grandbabies!!!

I collect Winnie the Pooh, I like smaller items (I can collect more that way), I also collect John Deere and Campbell's Soup stuff. I like all colors but don't like navy/ beige combo. I love making baby doll clothes, and handbags. I love scrap booking items...scrap books for all 10 grand babies is a continuous work in progress I have managed to build up a supply of brads, eyelets and such for scrap booking. Lego's are the greatest toy EVER invented!!!! I like milk chocolate, especially Dove. I am diabetic but I have no self-control when it comes to Dove Chocolate. My husband will eat anything so treats are welcome.

My wish list starts with: friendship.

1. Someone to tell me how to post pictures on the swap page, when you set up a swap.

2. Someone who owns a Cricut machine to help me learn to use mine. My eye sight has gotten very bad oer the past year so I am having difficulty seeing and appling the directions.

3. ANY Small POOH items

4. Hand crochet dish clothes

5. 10" x 10" fabric squares, please no skulls or such. I'd like plain colors or pretty prints. ( I am going to make a Swap-bot quilt at the end of 2012)

6. Words of encouragement

7. Unusual or unique brads

8. Grand kids range in age from 12 yrs down to newborn, they always enjoy little goodies.
