I am New to online swapping, but I have been envolved in Handmade swaps for years. I want something new and fun to do in my spare time (as minimal as it is). I have found ATCs to be very theraputic, and not stressful, they actually get me in a creative mood, which I thought I had lost for a very long time. I am married to my best friend of 14 years and have three beautiful girls 11, 5, & 2. For my 12 hour a day job I own and operate a Gorumet Coffee Shop. I work extremely long hours, but I try to keep a bag of goodies at work to keep my brain busy while I'm not busy making coffee.

I like a little bit of everything. My IPOD is loaded with everything from Christian Music, R&B, Rock, Classic Rock, Oldies, Showtunes & Country. My Favorite is Christian Music.

Craft Books, and How to Books

I LOVE MOVIES.!!! Tough to narrow it down, so here are a few of my Fav's. The Notebook, Under The Tuscan Sun, Made of Honor, Good Luck Chuck, The Incredible Hulk, The Wedding Date, You don't mess with the Zohan,Sex & the City, The Princess Diaries, The Prince & Me, Hairspray (both of them rock!!), 21, Stick it,Marry Poppins, Happy Gilmore, Made of Honor, Beauty & The Beast, Charlie Bartlett, Finding Nemo, Must Love Dogs, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Sweet Home Alabama, Broken Bridges, Pretty Woman... And the list goes on.... I LOVE MOVIES, I'm a Movie Guru!

Paper crafts are my favorite. I have recently discovered ATCs and really enjoy them. I love Scrapbooking, but sometimes find it very intimidating. Handmade greeting cards are another favorite., sewing, eventhough I'm not the greatest at it, I love to do it. decopage, Crochet(scarfs & potholders only), Jewelry making !!!!

I am very versitile in my likes. I craft according to my mood. I love lime green(total fav),pink & brown combo, bright fun colors, earthy tones, stripes, pokadots, scrapbook paper, rubberstamps, fibers, sparkly things like jeweled brads.I have 3 girls, so any girly girl stuff is always great,no boy stuff for me. Pretty things & Sparkley things make me smile ;)

The only thing I'm really not into is dark things like witches, snakes(petrified of them), spiders, devilish things. I am ok with mythical things like unicorns, fairy tales, fairies (girls...remember), princess' etc.. I like happy things!!!

I love learning new techniques for using products I alrady own. I love my cricut & sixxiz Machines.Anyone ever wanting to get rid of dies or cartriges should contact me, to work out a swap. I love my computer, I can't go more than a day without it. I love my bind it all machine, I just wish there were more products here to give me inspiration!

I love chocolate, hot cocoa, tea(except green), and I really love coffee (I own a coffee shop). My weakness' are Cupcakes & Potato Chips with dip. I have a sweet tooth, and my body is starting to reflect my love of food altogether :(

All in all I pretty much like whatever. Like I said I craft to my mood. I have many moods...after all I am a woman... I have the right to change my mind whenever & for whatever I want with no explanation.

I live in a very small town and my acess to new supplies is limited, so here are a few things that I would love to get! - Eyelets (I love them) -chipboard things -jeweled brads -fun brads -metal charms -epoxy stickers -shrink plastic -fibers -beads -fabrics -special papers -ANY SCRAPBOOKING SUPPLIES!!! -rubber stamps -EMBELISHMENTS (no one around here sells any!!) -I love stamps -whale of a punch size punches -glittery gel pens (none here either) -fun fur -charms -atc miscellaneous supplies -mini canvas -any nice papers -mullbury paper

Ok, so I love swapping. But I'm having trouble affording my habbits. The Man at the Post Office HATES me, he keeps taking all my extra money ;( BooHoo;(Also as you know I own my own Coffee Shop, so Tax Time is here for me, I must get all my ducks in a row! get the bookkeeping caught up (and try to enjoy the holidays with my hubby & kids)

I will still be online, and check in, so If I have time, I will sign up, but I don't want to overcommit myself.

Right now I am finishing up all my current swaps, so don't worry If I'm your partner....I'm NOT a flaker!

Oh how I miss having time to swap! life is taking me in some new directions right now! My Gorumet Coffee Shop is also changing directions! I am adding Scrapbooking & hobby supplies! My hubby & I are so excited to be making this switch in inventory, I coulodn't be happier to get to look at things I love all day long! Business is busy, so for now I don't have time to swap, but I will be back when I get TIME!

I haven't forgot about you all, !!!! Just busy trying to pay the bills!
