About Me
I am a 31 year old single woman living in Southern Indiana. I love getting mail! I was on swap-bot a few years ago and loved it...I had to take a break and am going to do a few simple swaps...
Feel free to check out my blog @ aprilbest1981.blogspot.com I think it gives a good sense of who I am. I don't write on there much anymore but you never know when I will...
I currently work for a Non-Profit, my job is grant based through DCS and I do in-home work with family's whose children are at IMMENIENT risk of being removed from their care...
I teach life skills such as budgeting, parenting, relapse prevention, as well as help families find hard resources for food, housing assistance...
I enjoy what I do, the families are not always happy you are in their lives but 99% of the time by the end of services they are glad you were there to help...
On November 4th 2012, I will celebrate two years in remission from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell)...woo HOO! the cancer color for Non-Hodgkin's is Lime Green so it is partial to my heart.
Favorite Books
my favorite books are
The Kite Runner...
A Thousand Splendid Suns... rocked my world!

Likes
I like:
deocrated Rolo cards...any of the sizes...
Birds...they hold a place in my heart and symbolize God's provision in our lives
“If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds." Matthew 6:25-26 - from The Message Version of the Bible
Rich colors...
Penguins are super cute...
Scripture...
Fashion...
Unique and Quirky things...

Dislikes
I dislike:
Tea...I know everyone seems to love tea but I just can't aquire the taste for it (I am happy to pass it on to friends who like it :) )

Wishlist
Well, I'm gonna try making a wish list...some of the swaps I want to be in think its a good idea. So...
I am being pulled toward steampunk lately...
embossing powders in different colors (I have black, gold, and purple)
washi tape!!!! LOVE it!
rolos made by you in any theme (I am new to them and think they are the greatest thing since I found out about ATCs :)
handmade postcards
anything with birds on it especially retro, or cute ones...
unique reusable grocery bags
matchboxes (i've gotten some really nice ones) I keep them on scrabble tile holders like shelves on my wall and they look amazing...
YOUR photography
YOUR handmade treasures
getting mail art
retro things that can be useful in the craft room for organization or something...like recently I got an awesome pepper shaker that will be awesome for storing little bits...
really anything, I am always interested in what other people are able to find where they live, especially other countries.
my biggest most outrageous wish is for a spinning rolodex holder (vintage and cool looking) THis wish was granted by indluging myself on Etsy and I got this

I am in awe of the adhesive you use to attach embellishments to your envies. (What do you use?) I love the stuff you sent, especially the girl shaped note card (I just love paperdolls). Thanks for the happy mail day. <3
Thank you sooooooooo much for the cracker box stuffed full of the cutest baby clothes for my grandson, as well as the great note cards, journal and great smelling hand sanitizer for me. You are such a sweetie. {Many HUGS}
Happy March! Hope you're having a lovely day, and that you have a great month. :)
Thank you for the tag, I have just received it in my mail today with postage label 30 Nov 2012. It has sure taken its own sweet time!

Happy Valentine's Day to a dear friend.
Happy Valentines Day~
From all of us in The Friendship Circle!
Thanks so much for the books...I can't wait to start reading them. Which I may do after I log off of swap-bot. I receive them either Friday or Saturday can't remember which day. Thanks again for the wonderful RAK!
I love your title page!! Thank you!! And thanks for the ideas for the apps. I love my iphone and love incorporating it into my PL. I ended up getting Instaplace but only have the free version. Which one do you have? I will download Instaweather!! Thank you for the ideas!! We have eachother on instagram, right?!
I'm so glad the rainbow arrived safely and that you like it! The blizzard moving up the East Coast didn't come far enough inland to give us any snow. High, gusty, blustery wind, but no snow. I wonder if it's too late for the groundhog to be right about predicting an early spring!
