I know it sucks when you don't get an expected swap in a timely fashion. It happens to a lot of us. What I do ask is that you contact me before rating me negatively. I am really good about getting back to people within 24 hours. I want to right the wrong.

If you do feel that you have to rate me negatively, please explain why. That doesn't say anything to other people who are deciding whether or not to swap with me.

Lastly, just play fair!

Let's see. I'm a South Louisiana native but call Atlanta metro home now. I'm 26 and engaged to a wonderful man. We just bought a house so my time is consumed by decorating! I stay at home with our 4 small dogs and care for our house. I love to cook and craft and hit the thrift stores.

I'll combine some of these to save room:

Favorite Music: Dada is my favorite band. other than that I love Counting Crows, Michelle Shocked, 10,000 Maniacs, Go, Set, Go!, Foy Vance, Amos Lee... and the list goes on and on. I pretty much will listen to everything from rockabilly to country but I tend to draw the line at hip hop.

Favorite Movies/TV: Okay, so I'm a junkie. I haven't watched a lot of movies lately but that is due to how expensive it is. We have a spreadsheet to keep up with what shows we enjoy. Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break, The Class, How I met your Mother, The Unit, The Shield, Rescue Me, Ugly Betty, Supernatural... yeah I "Tivo" a lot, just don't always get to watch it in a timely fashion.

Movies: Say Anything, Stranger than Fiction, Labyrinth, Sleeping Beauty... Think Romantic Comedies before Action though.

Photography, cross stitching, and cooking are my joys. I also enjoy design, sewing, and painting. I dabble in jewelry making and knitting. I have a craft room, but it could get out of hand in a hurry. :)

Lets do this one first.

Though I love to cook, I am usually not a fan of receiving food in the mail. I guess I was scared to many times by my parents from taking food from strangers.

I've never been one for pastels or the color green. Something about them just doesn't do it for me.

Surprises, something unique from your country or part of the U.S., recipes or cookbooks (used is fine!), funky bags and boxes to control my clutter, anything vintage, oh and surprises.

I love the color red and its variations. My craft room is red and teal.

New Year's

Mardi Gras

St. Patty's Day

Halloween

Turkey Day

Though I like Christmas, I've never been a huge fan of the over the top stuff. I send out cards and Decorate but I wait until December is actually upon us.
