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 13 year old and a 2 year old. I am married to a career Army soldier. I have been living in Washington state for 8+ years. 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.
I watch Amazing Race, Bones, House, Fringe, Heroes. I liked Journeyman but NBC canceled it. Pushing Daisies is fun. Carnivale, Deadwood, Californication are good too.
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 also have some scrapbooking inclination since I love taking pictures of my kids and places we have been. (Travel is also a fave). I want to learn how to do watercolor painting and have a room full of craft supplies for any type of project my 13 year old or I could think of doing.
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.
State Map PC I do not have:
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 have decided I am also going to collect a postcard of each US state capitol building.
I need the following states' capitol buildings:
Illinois
Montana
I would also like map postcards of other countries.
So far I have:
Australia
Canada
Denmark
Germany
Israel
Portugal
Scotland
Spain
New Zealand
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.

Thank you, Naomi, for the embroidery floss! It will really help with making my bookmarks. Also i LOVE deep sea creatures, the card you picked was perfect! Thank you so much.
Thank you for the awesome pc for my Oct. Wish! The seahorses are fab and I especially like that they're in the sky and not underwater (which is creepy to me!) Thanx so much!
