3 Nov 08 - Overdue packages were shipped today. Please accept my apologies as some things came up that were unexpected and my swaps suffered.
Hi! My name is Leslie and I'm 27 years old - for the next little while anyway (eep!) I live in New Mexico with my husband, two dogs and a cat.
My mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and it is spreading. Two out of her three doctors don't think she's a candidate for the surgery to remove the cancer. In the meantime she is undergoing chemotherapy. Her cancer cells are currently dormant :D !!!
My book list is scattered. I like sci-fi type stuff (Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Laurell K Hamilton) - The Harry Potter series - Twilight (I'm currently reading New Moon) - I like John Grisham novels too. But then there are things like Wonder Boys, The Virgin Suicides and The Lovely Bones. My husband has tried to get me into the fantasy genre, but it just hasn't stuck but for a few exceptions.
Ahh - another step into Sci-Fi. All time favorite - Firefly. Then there is Stargate SG-1 (and Atlantis) - Battlestar Galactica. I love House and got way too emotionally attached to Six Feet Under. Also - Scrubs can kick a foul mood any day! More recently I'm getting into Heros and Alias :D
My favorite band is Counting Crows - their newest CD has taken the number two spot in my rank of their best. I'm very much a fan of old Tori (Amos). I like Fiona Apple, Lisa Loeb, Dido - as well as Billy Joel, Panic At The Disco, some Fall Out Boy, matchbox twenty, and The Offspring. I also like 80's rock and alternative rock - and I like new country stuff as well! I'm really all over the place :)
Stuff I like:
My Etsy favorites are linked above :D
My husband's Amazon Wishlist is linked above :D
Anything Firefly/Serenity related. Same for my other favorite TV shows/movies :D
Anything Starbucks related
Pink! I'm a big fan of pink
Mugs/ fun drinking glasses
My favorite flowers are Lily of the Valley and Gerbera Daisies - if that helps anything :)
I love llamas.
Mix CDs - I'm always looking for new artists to listen to.
Kawaii - I'm only just getting into it. I bought some stuff for a swap partner and was amazed with the store :D
Canvas/Reusable bags - Knit, crocheted, store bought - Something I can bring with me to a store to avoid using their plastic bags - I'm trying to be as earth-friendly as possible these days.
Barrettes (My short hair is thankfully growing out and it needs to be tamed !)
Fun buttons (my messenger bag loves to sport them!)
Pens - I can never have too many. Be they fun, funky, or simply nice to write with :)
Chocolate - Dark is my favorite, then milk, then white :D
Note cards/Stationary
ATC supplies
Bookmarks
Anything small and seasonal (whatever the season) I like to have a little something around :)
Please nothing for my pets. I do appreciate the gesture but my cat is diabetic and one of my dogs is on a special diet.
Nothing religious. (Unless it's something to do with a written swap - Just please nothing music/object-wise)
Nothing that will hang on the wall – we just don’t have the space (Oh how I wish we did!)
Journals – I have quite a collection of paper journals that are sadly just collecting dust.
Cookbooks
Wax tarts

So sorry to hear about your mother. Very belated but big thank you for the superb collection you sent as my angel for Amy's Tea Swap. I've been in pretty well constant crisis for several months and haven't been keeping up with Swap-bot much. Apologies for not getting back to you sooner.
Hi,
Thanks for the CDs and for the awesome pendant from my etsy faves/wishlist. I may never take it off!!! Thanks again :)
Thank you ever so much for the rally cool bonsai kit you send me for the september wishlist. I love it!
Lina.
Thankyou SOOO much for the Glow in the dark sheep & the cute little notepad taht you sent me for the Wishlist group! I love them! I'm gonna make a mobile for my craft room with some of them & one for my bedroom with the others........then i can go to sleep counting sheep!!!!LMAO!!!! Thankyou!
Oooooh. Thank you!
Glad you got the Starbucks gift card and the comics. Marmaduke is my fave and one of the reasons that I subscribe to the LA Times newspaper. Now if the carrier would stop tossing it up 2 flights and hitting my door, scaring me out of a cold sleep, I'd be a happy camper:-) Btw, when I went to buy your card I noticed that Starbucks now sells oatmeal, made to order. I bought a bowl. Not bad.
Thanks for the pig catapult, me and the other half are having a contest later heehee! Thanks so much!
