I am behind on my swaps. Things happening and I am not joining any new ones until I catch up on the ones I owe. Don fell, and I am taking a Fresh Start Class at the college to prepare me for when he dies. I intend to send out all my swaps. If you can, please just bear with me. Thank you for being a wonderful group of understanding people. I love it here. Thanks

Also, I have a stack of mail that I hope to get to this weekend. I owe lots of thank you's. They will also be worked on. Thank you all, and I will rate you soon.

I love to trade postcards. I especially like the recipe postcards and comical ones, but like all of them.. Looking forward to trading with you all.

Also, I belong to a few different groups, and I would appreciate it if you would put Swap-Bot and the name of the swap on whatever it is your sending. That way I can rate you. Thanks

My favorites are

Recipe Postcards

Alaska

Anything cold

Comedy

Humor

I always send my swaps. If for some reason I am a day late sending them, I will e-mail you and let you know. If you do not receive your swap, please let me know. I will re-send if necessary. I really do care that you get what we swapped for.....

I am married, have 2 grown girls, and 3 grandbabies, one not so little. HA HA.. My hubby was diagnosed with Stage IV Cancer Dec. 29th, and so I am always at the doctor's office, chemo, etc. So postcards is my outlet to just have fun. I like to cook and read.

I am a professional eater, and love all kinds of recipes. HA HA

As to my likes in books, I like Danielle Steel, Barbara Delinsky, Janet Evanovitch (have read every one), Debbie Macomber. More on the romance, although I do like cookbooks and some biographies.

My favorite movies are "While you were sleeping", "Pretty Women", "The Ten Commandments", and more, I just can't think. HA HA...

My favorite color I guess would be red. Not really picky about color

I am an animal lover and especially dogs. I have a beagle, and have had boxers, and poodles, and mutts. I love penguins, loons, and just about anything that won't bite me. HA HA. I like butterflies,

My dream is to go to Alaska. I am fascinated with it. Out of the country, I would have to say it would be Russia, Prague, Budapest, that area.. I have no idea what I'm doing in Florida. HA HA

I collect postcards, recipes,and dust. HA HA HA..

I also participate in Hugs and Hope where I send cards every month to sick children, and when money permits I also send little gifts.

I have a friend whose daughter just went into the military, so I have been gathering things to send to her, and am sending something to her every week, whether it's a letter, a card, etc. We have never met. I "met" her mom on a recipe group about 5 years ago.

I like to do things for people that they don't expect. I get a lot of joy out of that.

I also enjoy jokes and have a good sense of humor. Always up to something.

Anything else you want to know, just ask. I'm an open book, and will share what I can.

my favorite T.V shows are

Desperate Housewifes

The Food Channel

2 1/2 Men

Brothers and Sisters

And lots more.

I have given you two ways to get to my blog. The first should take you directly there, and the second is in case the first doesn't work. HA HA.
If neither of these work, please let me know.

My blog is mainly about my husband and his Cancer. He was diagnosed on December 29, 2006. Not even a year ago. I started a Hat Campaign for him, and this about it and the hats he has worn. Some baseball cap types and some Wacky. He has gotten them from all over the world. Hope you enjoy my blog. It is not sad, as we celebrate each day he is here, and try not to think of the time when he won't be.

I am making a list of things I want to do and learn. I figure instead of the 100 things list, since I'm over 50, just by 4 years. haha, I would make it a list of 50.

A few of those that have to do with crafts is

Learn to make an ATC - learning Learn to knit Learn to quilt Learn to scrapbook - learning Learn to make cards - learning

I can sort of crochet, well the ripple stitch anyway. I have made a few afghans with that stitch.

I love trying my hand at ATC's. I am not artistic but I love to try.

I like lace, buttons, ATC products, stamps, stamp pads, ATC paper, and all kinds of things to get me going.

I have just started scrapbooking and making cards and LOVE it..

I am not a picky person and appreciate just about everything.

Thanks for dropping by and reading this, and thank you in advance for everything you swap with me.

If you do not receive a swap from me, please let me know before you rate me. I always send. I have never not sent them. Sometimes with the mail things happen. Just in case.

I also would like to thank all of you who I swap with. No matter what it is, I appreciate your time and effort. Thank you
