peachykeen

I'm a wife, a (almost empty-nester) mom of one amazing son who is in college, and I have an adorable dog! I love to hang out with my family, go to flea markets and estate sales, garden, go to the movies, craft, take road trips, and play games.

You can count on me to always send and always rate! If for some reason you have not received a swap, please contact me before rating so that I can resend.

I love to read! A few of my favorite books are Water For Elephants, The Kite Runner, The Fourth Hand, The Secret Life of Bees, and The Prince Of Tides. I am also a MAGAZINE ADDICT! Especially Somerset Studio, and any craft/decorating magazines.

I'm listening to Bon Jovi, Fleetwood Mac, The Killers, Bitter Sweet, Brandi Carlile, Duffy, Aerosmith, Stevie Nicks, Janis Joplin, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and salsa music.

I love watching cheesy-"bad" B- movie horror flicks with my son, Vegas Vacation, Christmas Vacation, Somethings Gotta Give, Chocolat, Walk The Line, The Shining, Nip/Tuck, Lost, Rescue Me, The Office, The Godfather, and Deadliest Catch.

I love to make altered art, greeting cards, ATC's, things for my home, ornaments, work with glass and soldering, make jewelry, collage, alter books, paint and use photos in my artwork.
