Hi, New here and looking forward to jumping in on some swaps with you... I am a working mom of one high school student still living at home, married to DH for many years.

PLEASE NOTE: I love to swap and consider myself a fair-flaker free player so if you have issues I hope you will contact me first to resolve them before leaving any negative feedback. And on the other hand I will contact you before I leave negative feedback but be forewarned-- IF YOU FLAKE ON ME I WILL NOT BE KIND OR SUGAR COAT A RATING!! I try to send an e-mail to you let you know when your package has been mailed and also when it has been received. Looking forward to swapping with you in the future.

I love a variety of music, listen to alot of 80"s some jazz,new age, older rock and roll classics,

I DO NOT listen to country music.

I don't take much time to read however I do spend alot of time looking at my craft magazines and books that my DH calls my "picture books". Most of the books I do read are craft related ones.

We enjoy a variety of movies and tend to go to alot of movies on our weekends.

I am a big HGTV and DIY fan. Love those home improvement shows. CSI and lately I have been watching Forensic files and shows similar to these.
