About Me

badge

Hi there! My name is Jen and I am a thirty-three year old wife and mother of three great kids! I am a SAHM and I love being around for my kids every day and being a part of their daily activities! I have been married for 12 years now and am still completly in love with my husband! I have 2 boys (10 and 6) and 1 girl (8) and they are GREAT kids! I live in a small community in Alberta, Canada.

I love quilting, crocheting, knitting, sewing, felt crafts, reading, and photography!

Things that make me most happy in my 'crafting' are beautiful fabric, soft and yummy coloured yarn, special ribbons, buttons and PINCUSHIONS!

I promise you that I will always send swaps. There has never been a time when I did not send so if you do not received something from me in a decent time from when I clicked sent - PLEASE PM me and we will figure out what's going on! I take swapping seriously and take a lot of time and care for each of my partners! :)

Favorite Music

Music I love is 80s, Chicago, Brian Adams, I love some country - the more modern stuff, I love worship music - Brian Doerken, Nicole Nordemen, Michale W Smith.

Favorite Books

I LOVE TO READ! When I read I get completely absorbed in the the book's world! It is such an escape for me! I love books where the character development is a huge focus. I love being to remember a character long after I''ve finished a book and wonder what they would be up to now!

Some of my favorite books are: Redeeming Love, Infidel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Kite Runner, Friday Night Knitting Club, A Fine Balance, Eat, Pray, Love, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Hiding Place, anything by Maeuve Binchy, Jane Austen and Francine Rivers.

I love historical fiction, romance, true stories and biographies.

Favorite Movies

Movies I love are Anne of Green Gables, Moulin Rouge, The Notebook, Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, The Karate Kid, Beaches, My Fair Lady, Lord of the Rings.

Favorite Television

On TV I love to watch The Amazing Race, Brothers and Sisters, House, The Office, Project Runway, and How I met you Mother, Little House on the Prairie, and I still watch all the old reruns of Friends and Seinfeld!

Favorite Crafts

I love quilting, sewing all different kinds of things but especially bags, knitting, crochet, granny squares, felt items.

Here are a few of my favorite

  • Colours: Red, Red & White together, pink, green, pale yellow, robins egg blue, B&W, chocolate brown, cream, white, vintage colours.
  • Fabric Patterns - I love modern fabric designers like Amy Butler, Anna Maria Horner, Heather Bailey, Tina Givens, Robert Kaufman, shabby chic, B&W, tiny florals, pailsey, stripes, LOVE LOVE LOVE polka-dots, japanese import, and gingham.
  • I love vintage items, either the real thing or 'inspired by vintage'.
  • I love little things like buttons, beads, magnets, bookmarks, sewing notions, crochet & knitting accessories, fun ribbons, keychains, embelishments, etc!
  • I love FABRIC and RIBBONS! , felted things, embroidery, quilted items, knitted or crochet items!
  • I love birds, owls, ladybugs, cupcakes, little handmade cute stuffies, fat quarters, mushrooms, cherries, yo yos, special pin cushions, granny squares, notecards, stationary, handmade bags and APRONS.
  • Things I collect are: Cute pincushions, special pincusion pins, aprons, ribbon, buttons, fabric, notebooks, notecards, cotton yarn for dishcloths, and books.

Really I am pretty easy - I just love that someone took the care to think of me and pick something out for me from their heart!

Dislikes

Skulls, pagan items (ie. wicca), new age items, dark chocolate, white chocolate.

Do not like the colours: orange, forest green, burgundy and purple.

Swapping Pledge

I will ALWAYS rate my partner for every swap, usually the day I receive it and usually while I open it! I hope you will do the same for me! If you have not received something - please PM me so we can figure out what is going on!

Comment: Thanks for the fun package, Jen! I'm looking forward to trying out the tea and the peanut soup recipe! Just as an FYI if you have a vegan friend/swap again - The Godiva bar has milk in it and isn't vegan. The majority of commercial caramel is made with milk as well as a lot of dark chocolate (Several companies put milk in their dark chocolates). I really appreciate your trying to send me a vegan treat, I'm just letting you know for future reference. I'll share this bar with a friend :)
Response: Oh no! I had no idea about that chocolate!!! I am so sorry!!! I hope you will enjoy the rest of the package!! That tea looked so yummy and when I bought it - the checkout girl said it is awesome and one of her favorites!!! Thank you so much for rating and for the heart! :)

Comment: Thanks for the bookmarks and for the nice note included! Yes, the upcycled bookmark project is really fun, I see bookmarks now in everything TOO! It's addictive, isn't it? I'll leave some of them in the library in Gouda so they can travel through Holland (hopefully). By the way, what a nice thought to put ribbons on them in red, white and blue - the colours of our flag ;-)
Response: I'm glad you liked them! I can't wait to see if people find them and post them on the flikr site!! Thanks for rating! :)

whiteway: I have known for years that there are many wonderful people in this world, and a lot of them are right here on Swap-bot. Your kind and generous offer to join a group of special angels --- helping me to make and send a total of 210 handmade ornaments for those who were flaked on in the MEGA Christmas 2009 Ornament Swap --- is VERY much appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If I can ever do anything to help you out in return, please let me know. (“;) Hugs, Terry
