NOTICE If you have not received my swap, please let me know so I can resend. All swaps I signed up for were mailed when I marked sent.

Hi, I am a mom of 2 girls: one 16 year old and a 5 year old. I have a BS in Forensic Chemistry with minors in French and Biological Sci.

My favorite music includes Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Alison Krauss, Dean Martin, Soundgarden, Audioslave, CHRIS CORNELL! and really all types of music.

I love reading. It is mainly what I will do when I have free time. I like to read pretty much anything and always have since I learned when I was a kid. Most of my presents from relatives as a child were gift cards to the book store. I like browsing for hours and making a serendipitous discovery. Currently I have read many detective, supernatural, and young adult series and read the newest as they are published. Some favorites are Southern Vampires (Charlaine Harris), LK Hamilton's Anita Blake and Merry Gentry, JD Robb In Death, Harry Bosch (Michael Connelly) and many more.

On the rare occasions that I have time to watch tv these days I will watch Amazing Race, FX Network's Justified, and Sons of Anarchy, AMC's The Walking Dead, Californication, Shameless, Once Upon a Time, Grimm, Downton Abbey.

I like Cary Grant movies. Katherine Hepburn is good. I pretty much just like going to see any movie that looks interesting. I like Will Smith's movies too.

I mainly quilt. I recently joined International Union of Mail Artists and am participating in the group MailArt365. www.mailart365.blogspot.com

mainly making handmade postcards.

I collect United States Patriotic items. Examples are a George Washington tobacco tin, a 7-UP and Pepsi bottle from the bicentennial, Liberty bells, Statue of Liberty. My Christmas tree is historical figures/ patriotic ornaments. Red, white and blue!

Also coins, stamps, MAP postcards (country, state, province, city, region) , patches.

Willing to trade 2 for 1 for a new unused map of ND.

The state PCs I have are the basic state map outline with seal or other symbols. I would be interested in states I already have if they are map cards with say for example a ND Lewis and Clark map card or OK or CA American Indian tribe map card so specialty or historical fact map cards. Also I have seen pictures of National Park map cards and regional map cards which would be nice.

I would also like map postcards of other countries.

So far I have:

Australia

Canada

Denmark

Germany

Israel

Portugal

Scotland

Spain

New Zealand

I need the following Canadian Province Maps:

New Foundland

Manitoba

NW Territories

Nunavut

I like: Tulips

Lilacs

Thunderstorms

Basketball

Dark chocolate

Autumn leaves

Snow

My favorite colors are shades of blue and red. I also like black.

I like the following fabric lines Moda Prairie Paisley, Moda Wildflower Serenade. I am working on projects in those two lines so fat quarters or 5 inch charm packs will not be turned away :)

I do not like:

Makeup

Nail Polish

Scented bath and body items

These are not worn by me as I am sensitive due to working with and around chemicals; and they make my skin itch.

white chocolate (not really chocolate)

I do not drink tea or coffee.
