Scrapbooking! All forms. Mini books,ATC's,and stamping are my favorites. I also love gardening,reading,crochet,tea & coffee.I tend to dabble in tons of crafts, as I love trying new techniques:iris folding,string art,x-stitch,chicken scratch,ect...

My favorite colors are shades of pinks & reds.Although I do love all colors in general.Paisleys are one of my favorites--love the combo of pinks and pastel yellows.I also tend to use alot of browns (coffee colors) and blues.

Embellishments:textures,ribbons,buttons,punches (another favorite) fabrics, felts,brads & eyelets---not picky on that score! Am learning to scrapbook with transparentcies & needle felting.Love the felted ATC's.

Favorite flowers: Violets,Queen Ann's Lace, sweet peas ,snapdragons and Coralbells.

Misc: Im a total dog person but do like pictures of cats. My favorite holidays are fall,Christmas and of coarse Valentine's Day. Like postage stamps,chocolate,recipes,music themes (daughter) and coffee themes are always a favorite. I collect the Wiz of Oz and LOVE SNOOPY,also like the M&M guys,Raggedy Ann,roosters-colorful ones and black and white,Mary Engelbreit,Susan Branch and Kim Jacobs.I also collect Christmas tree pins--ones with lots of sparkle and colors.

I tend to enjoy the 1940 and 1950's movies,but my all time favorite is the Wizard of Oz. Big Judy Garland fan! Also a fan of Harry Potter --who isnt? Like dance movies,action,suspence,and romantic comedy.(Do Not like Horror or bloody movies ).

I am married with two teenage children and no therapist! (16 & 13 ) Have two dogs Oliver (boxer) & Saddie (german shephard) which we consider part of the family. Work full time and am enjoying swapping as my outlet.

Favorite Authors: Nora Roberts,Nina Kiriki Hoffman,Christine Feehan(Drake sister's novels) & Jk Rowlings. Not limited to these love all types and try to stay open minded.Reading is my other favorite pass time.

Im still pretty new to the computer,and not really great at getting around yet, but Im working on it and my kids dont hesitate to point out my mistakes:) LOL have to have a sense of humor!

NOTE: I usually like to get my swaps done and send them early(under normal circumstances).Please let me know if you dont get them before rating.

I always rate asap after receiving a swap, but for some reason I dont think that it saves my ratings some times or maybe I dont remember to click on it --anyway, if you dont promptly receive your rating feel free to pm me and let me know...Thanks
