I am an outspoken, fun loving, family oriented person. I have one daughter of my own who is grown and (somewhat) out on her own and live with my husband and his 2 young daughters whom I consider my own as well. I work for a government entity as a jail education specialist and also have a small business of my own on the side doing wood/acrylic signs and other things that inspire me or are requested by my customers. I love to shop at thrift stores and garage/yard sales--you never know what you will find!! I like to stay busy!

I absolutely love to read. My favorite author is James Patterson (maybe!) but am open to anything new. I love Janet Evanovich and John Grisham and am also a fan of CJ Box. True crime is also very interesting to me.

I listen to all types of music--from country to alternative. My favorite group was Aerosmith, but I have recently added Shinedown as well. I love watching The Voice and finding new entertainers who would never be discovered otherwise. My boyfriend plays and sings for me. I actually love music so much that it is the theme in my livingroom! :)

I love to make cards and also do some scrapbooking as well. I'm learning to make ATCs. In my business, I also do painting, woodworking and vinyl work. I love to do cross-stitch when I can make myself sit still for long enough, and I sew, too. I love stickers, washi tape, stamps and inks and just pretty much anything to do with crafting. I cruise the clearance aisles of Michael's and Hobby Lobby every time I'm there. I like brads and other interesting embellishments.

I love television as it keeps my constantly moving mind somewhat occupied. My most favorite shows are The Blacklist and Yellowstone. I also watch Grey's Anatomy, Chopped, The Voice, Law & Order SVU and The Amazing Race. I love the true crime shows--I totally should have become an attorney. I go to sleep to the ID Channel every night.

I love the color green. I love photography. I love sugar skulls. I am a sports fan. I am a big Denver Broncos, Wyoming Cowboys and Arkansas Razorbacks fan. I am OCD (I would say slightly, but my sisters are also on swap-bot, so they would probably call me out on it). I enjoy geocaching with my family.
I love Color Street (ask me, and I'll send you a sample!), and my toes are always polished though my fingernails are not (go figure!). I am a lip gloss fanatic I love Jelly Belly jelly beans. I enjoy working on my bullet journal. I love crosses and peace signs. I love to recycle and/or upcycle. I love cowboy boots and flip flops.

I do NOT flake. If you do not receive a swap from me, please let me know ASAP, and I will certainly make it right. If you receive something from me with postage due, please let me know. A pet peeve for me is the swappers who are greedy with giving hearts. If you receive a swap and it goes above and beyond, give a heart...even if the extras are not exactly your style. It is the thought that counts.
