scentednights2002

I am 41 years old and married. We have two kids (15 girl and 11 boy). We live in the country in a small rural town. I like a quiet, simple, conservative lifestyle. I don't like cities, loud noise, crowds, etc.

I like Country music & Christian rock music. I really only listen to music in the car on the radio so sending a CD wouldn't work well for me.

I enjoy reading mysteries and suspense and homesteading type books when I have time to read. I like cookbooks that feature old fashioned, healthy cooking. I like baking bread but no bread machine recipes please as I don't use one.

I like "end of the world" type movies like Storm of the Century and Day After Tomorrow. I like movies with killer bees, bats, sharks, giant bugs that eat people, volcanoes, floods, tornados, etc. I'll do the occasional spooky movies as long as it isn't too gory or have santanic/demonic overtones. VHS or DVD is fine by me.

I don't really watch TV much. I like some of the movies on SCIFI and some of the shows on the Discovery Channel. I strongly dislike soap operas, reality shows, anything full of disgusting language, nudity or off color jokes.

I do tons of different crafts but I have boxes and boxes of craft supplies. A few things I can ALWAYS use more of:

• Papers to make notecards & ATCs
• Those clear sleeves to hold ATCs or notecards
• mounted rubber stamps - PLEASE no cheap dollar store types or teeny tiny ones
• funky origami papers or origami books / patterns
• paper punches & corner punches
• SMALL cross stitch / embroidery / needlepoint kits - especially bookmarks or notecards - think small. I don't have a lot of patience for huge projects.
• blank matchboxes - I really want to try making some of these
• Quilling patterns (not quilTing!)
• Brads & eyelets
• glitter or glitter glue with a fine point
• scissors that cut those neat edges
• stamp pads - no more blue/black
• pre-cut tags to use in ATCs
• tiny velum envelopes to use in ATCs
• Tiny things to put in matchboxes

Things I absolutely DON'T need more of:

• yarn - I don't knit/crochet
• material - I don't sew
• beads - I have BOXES of them
• soap scents/colors - Have tons already
• candy molds - have too many

As a rule of thumb, think small. Small is good. I like small :) Small and cute is even better :)

I always send and I always rate so please if you do not receive from me, let me know & I will replace. In the USA, I almost always ship with delivery confirmation. International is harder because sometimes it can take so long. I really read each profile and try to make a nice package/envelope for my trader so please make sure your profile is filled out so I don't have to guess. I want you to like what I send!

Please please please make sure your profile is filled out with ideas that I can use to send you something. Please do not make your want list so specific that there is no way I am going to find something to send you on there. I am in a small rural town. I do NOT have access to lots of tiny specialty stores. Most swaps do not have a long enough time for me to order something online & have it arrive & get to you in time not to be late. PLEASE make sure your profile lists wants that your average person can find in an average store!
