All Christmas Card Swaps

I will give "Hearts" if you address the card to my son. He's feeling left out of the mailing and I generally let him open the christmas cards! Please don't write from Swap-bot on the card include a seperate sheet of paper for swap-details. I display all my christmas cards across my arch way! We like any card but really like animals and funny cards the most! He'd be stoked and would show off your card if it had anything to do with Legos.

About Me

1) I reuse packaging materials 2) I am interested in private swaps.

Hi My Name is Michelle. I"m 29 years old. I like to take long walks on the river front (can't say beach I live in Idaho!) I am a mom to a wonderful 9 year old boy. We have a cat that rules our house from the door knobs down. If I sit at my computer too longer she will be in my lap pleading for pets. We lead pretty boring and mellow lives but we live it up when we can. We live in a small town but we are not small town minded either.

Like: I like tea, cocoa, ciders, GreyGoose Vodka, some wines (however I am not a wine snob isn't it the company its share wtih that makes it better though I am from a wine valley). Geometric shapes, Hello Kitty, Snowmen, Cats, Gerbena Daisies (i'd love some stationary), Pandas, learning things about other cultures, postcards, hanging out with my aunt making things and drinking tea with her, Origami creations (I can make a paper box but it is not true origami), I enjoy the wildlife in our area I've seen: Elk, Moose, Cougars (those that are women, college and the real animals), White Tail and Mule Deer, Wild Turkies, and I've seen some bear. I don't fish...even if the rivers confluence here I still don't fish.

I've driven across the country (Fort Puke to Fort Lewis), flown to Mexico for 14 days and driven through Canada... I desire many more days of travel and I love to hope in the car for a day. Though I don't always think our government is right, I do fully support our men and women who fight for this way of life. I am a go Army beat Navy gal but I support all branches.

My Dads (yes plural) taught me about cars and I can turn a wrench with a gear head. I wave flags for the BMW Raceclub in the area and can appreciate all forms of racing but Circle Jerk! Circle Jerk = Insanity. Define insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Favorite Music

I listen to such a wide variety of music it scares most people. I listen to music that is both popular in the US, artists from other countries, and across a wide variety of genres. A smile is the only thing that out does my belief that music is one thing that transcends every culture.

The CD I just burned for my drive home: Sting, Pink, Billy Joel, The Coors, Emerson Drive, The Wallflowers, Garth Brooks, The Eye of the Tiger, Jason Aldean, Ricky Martin, TATU, Aaron Tippin, Lady GaGa, Nickelback, Greenday and Doro. (as you can imagine its a driving CD so its got lots of upbeat stuff...the other CD is Blackmore's Night: Under a Violet Moon)

Favorite Books

I enjoy reading and much like my music I don't exactly read a lot of "main stream stuff."

I like Debbie Macomber, her characters are well developed, have thoughts, and depth. She also writes about a lot of places I have been.

Nicholas Sparks, Patrick F McManus, and anything my son writes. My favorite book is Population 485: Meeting your Neighbors one siren at a time by Michael Perry.

Favorite Movies

An Officer and a Gentleman, Its a wonderful life, Gone with the Wind, Dirty Dancing (would love stationary from that movie...if it exsists), A walk to remember, Hope Floats, Band of Brothers, The Other Boylene Girl, Home is where the heart is, August Rush, Akeelah & The Bee, Griffin & Pheonix, The Love Comes Softly Series

Favorite Television

I have a Television and a DVD player, I do not currently have satelight, cable, or an antenna and I love it. We watch most of our TV on dvd after its already been televised and we don't get to see commericals YEAH!

CSI (the orignial) Law and Order: SVU Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. ER House MD (yes I seen hugh laurie in Jeeves and Wooster, did you know he was professor cockroach in Monster VS Aliens) Army Wives Cash Cab Project Runway All the house cleaning shows crack me up!

Favorite Crafts

I like to write letters, I scrapbook now and then, I like to do counted cross stitch and photography. Much beyond that I'm craftless...I can make a mean plate of enchiliadas and I can doodle up an envelope like a champ.

Wishlist

--CHRISTMAS STICKERS!!! PLEASE!!!

--Spongebob Stationary/Envelope or stickers

My Son

My son's name is Colt. Which is short for Colton. He was named after a gun and not a horse. Colt is in the 3rd grade, he is also in advanced math classes. He likes legos, animals (of all sorts espically snakes), candies, RC Cars, Magic tree house books, cartoons, playing board games.

He goest hunting with his father and does swim lessons on Saturdays. He often plays chess with my S.O. We are currently watching the entire series of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman together.

He is your average deep thinking, thoughtful, caring child. Colt is also very tall for his age so if your thinking about clothing please ask for a size.

Tea Wishlist

I am still relatively new into drinking tea. I often drink tea with my boyfriend or my aunt. So multiple bags of the same flavor are okay. We all live in the same armpit valley with limited selections.

I like Tazo's Zen, Refresh, Wild Sweet Orange, Sweet Cinnamon Spice, Decaf Chai! I also like Yogi Mayan Cocoa Spice. I'm a fan of earl gray and holiday teas. I'm open to any flavors though. My Aunt and boyfriend seem to like the teas I don't like so its not unheard of for me to arrive with a cup of tea on their door stop and say "Here...I don't like it" and is often met with "Oh this is good stuff" So no fear it will get drank.

Comment: Michelle, I was so happy to receive your sticker swap today, but it took awhile to get over here. I think it traveled to the wrong zip-code.
