I am a native Northern NYer, which means I live 40 minutes from the Canadian border. We have 4 seasons here and I like this one the best (autumn). I am married and have two adultlike children, 18 and 20 years old. I love dogs and have 4 of them, 2 Great Danes, a beagle and a maltapoo. My favorite color is green, but I like colors found in nature. I like to knit, crochet, quilt and work with felt and scrapbooking. I am thinking of other types of projects I would like to do. This is a new venture for me, but sounds like fun and possibly a challenge, so that makes it even better.

Generally I like "new country", I do like celtic, folk and bluegrass too though

I like recipe books for some reason. I also like psychological thriller books, and mystery stuff. Like James Patterson and David Balducci

I don't really care for movies, too long to sit in one spot, occassionally I go to the theater for a new movie, I like action movies, Indiana Jones type movies.

I watch the do it yourself channels, MSNBC, History channel, Food network and I am a Survivor fan

I like textiles and paper the most.Knitting, crochet, felting, scrapbooking, Christmas ornaments any sort of adornments, stickers and scrapbooking items with figure skates and outdoorsy themse.

Things I like: dogs, Great danes and beagles nature, the woods, freshly mown grass the color green, but only the shades found in nature. I like deep colors, very rich ruby reds, saphire blues, emerald green and amber yellow. I like cloth, yarn and textiles, felt and paper products, especially postits and notepads.

I love to read any mystery and psychological thriller, I like NASCAR, Tony and Kyle Busch are my drivers I think I lean toward pagan beliefs, but am not too religious

Things I do not like, polyester, pastels and neons. Radical opinions about any subject. Jimmie Johnson. animated characters, from cartoons

My husband and son are hunters and outside people. My daughter is a figure/synchornized skater so any paper, cloth in those motiffs are fine.

We, my mom and daughter enjoy working on quilts together, lately we have been cutting up sweatshirts and t shirts for teenagers getting done with school and making memory quilts, we love this too.

I work with people with developmental disabilities, it doesn't pay much $, but has many other rewards. I have done this work for almost 25 years and most days I still love it. I like neat things for my office, and have a folkart type of theme in there, I like posters that reflect real people and places and currently have ROsie the Riveter and some men working on a high rise with no ropes during the 40's on my wall. I like things that promote acceptance of differences and items that are crafted in a traditional way like baskets made by native americans,etc, anything tradition and reflective of a culture.

I am very interested in seeing a whimsey jar and an atc as well as a matchbox. These are all new items that I am learning about since joining swap-bot. I think I might be interested in each of these things but would like to see them. I also may try my hand at a dotee doll, and could always get information from seeing one in the flesh.
