About Me

November 2009 - Please bear with me. I'm hoping to get back on track in the next week. My husband and brother were both hospitalized in October and earlier this month. I have several Thank Yous to do and hope to send some nice things again soon.June 2009 - This has been an unbelieveable month. Two weeks I mangled my tendon in my right arm. I'm nursing it myself since I have no insurance. Last Saturday I got a very deep scratch across the cornea of one eye while trimming tree branches. My vision is not good. I will still send some Wishlist wishes but please bear with me. January 2009 - I need to do major damage control. We have had 4 emergency room visits in our family since November. I have pacages waiting to go in the mail. I'm not asking for much for myself this month. This will be a catchup month. I'm 59, married 35 years with 2 grown children. I'm a caregiver for my husband who is on kidney dialysis. I mystery shop and do merchandising to supplement our income. I collect anything related to tea - cups, tea balls,infusers,tea,teapots, books. I have always loved cooking.

Favorite Music

There are very few kinds of music I don't like.

Favorite Movies

All time favorite would be the Quiet Man (John Wayne). I love anything with Kurt Russell, Johnny Depp.

Favorite Crafts

KNITTING Card Making - This is a new craft for me.

hobbies and interests

I love candles - scented or unscented. Gardening especially with native plants. We have a half acre that we have tried to leave in its natural state. Many different birds and wild animals come to visit. Our yard has been designated as a wildlife habitat. I especially love to see and hear the birds.I enjoy photography - nature mostly. Sunrises are a favorite. I am interested in anything old - antiques, vintage things. I should have been born in another era.

Penpals

I have been penpalling since 12 years of age. I have made some very special, long time friends.

Comment: I got your package today. Thanks for all the extras and the nice note telling me more about what I recieved. I loved the little fork and can't wait till I have a party so I can put it in my olive dish!! P.S. It was wrapped so cute! Loved the yellow bow!
Response: I'm so glad you liked everything. I had fun putting it together. I don't think I told you that I received the towel as a wedding shower gift in 1972.

Thank you so much for granting my wish. My kitties were thrilled. One played with the mouse and the other had a go at the packaging :) It is too cute to watch them.
NorthernBorder on Nov 18, 2009:

I'm sending warm thoughts your way for a speedy recovery, along with a gentle reminder to please rate me for the "Three Teas + A Note" swap.

Gothicrise on Nov 13, 2009:

I have not received the swap yet, I wanted to know if you had sent otherwise I will leave a 1

I just finished knitting myself a very cute hat with the green yarn from the Magic Yarn Ball from our private swap. I love the surprises you put inside it for me. I kept thinking there was something sort of, I don't know, can't really say 'familiar' about the items, but then it dawned on me that what I was feeling was a sort of childhood connection... These are quite the sort of thing I'd have filled my pockets with when I was a kid. I'm tempted to put everything in my pockets now, for old times' sake. :^) Except the Wade lion. Cuz he's my favorite and he's sitting on my computer. :^) THANK YOU!!
VetTechMommy on Oct 26, 2009:

Just checking in to see if you have received the teas from the Three Teas + A Note V2 swap as I have PMed you a few times concerning this and for a rating. I also was wondering if you had received your wishlist items I had sent for the CPG group? Hoping to hear from you soon.

Oh Barbara! Thank you so much for the lovely tea cup and saucer you sent me! I love it and it was so kind of you!

Big hugs

Thank you for the Magic Yarn Ball in our private swap!!!!!!! I love love love the yarn you picked out! I haven't unrolled it yet... I'm the only person I know who won't peek at the surprises until they fall out when I'm knitting, LOL, but I know I'll love them. Now I'm off to pick out a project to make so I can see the surprises. :^) Many thanks!!!!!!!
PhoenixLM on Oct 5, 2009:
