Hi there, thanks for taking the time to read my profile. 2/3/24 update - I apologize to all of my swap partners in recent swaps. I just returned home from a family funeral. I will be sending out late swaps by Monday 2/5/24.

A few notes about me:

• I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California.
• I have lived in Oklahoma for 20 years now.
• I have been happily married for 22 years.
• No kids, but eventually want to adopt.
• I have 6 fur babies (a cat and 5 sugar gliders).

• Color - Blues and grays
• Food - Pizza and ice cream
• Place - Disneyland Parks (Went here on my honeymoon!)
• Scents - Vanilla, jasmine
• Pastime - Browsing Pinterest for new craft ideas
• Other random things I like: thunderstorms, Disney movies, pens
• Things I collect - postcards, stamps (postmarked), playing cards

A few of my interests:

• Crafts - I dabble in just about every craft I come across: cross-stitch, kirigami, origami, beading...my current hobbies are papercrafting and woodburning (I love the smell of burning wood, crafting with it is a bonus!)
• Cats
• Computer games (Minecraft and World of Warcraft are current favorites)
• Performing Random Acts of Kindness - I love to put a smile on someone's face, friend and stranger alike.
• Reading (mostly non-fiction: architecture, forces of nature, books about books)
• Learning - I am a life-long learner and passionate about discovering new ideas

Topics I would enjoy writing about with you

• Traveling, especially Europe
• Books!
• Computer games
• Learning something new (I'm a life-long student)
• Sociology
• Deep subjects: I like to go past the basic conversation of weather and daily routine and dig into what you think about, how you feel.

I have a wide range of favorites:

Artists/groups:

• Pentatonix
• Celtic Woman / Celtic Thunder
• New Kids on the Block (old and new music)

Genres:

• Electronic dance music
• Gregorian chant
• A Capella
• 90s Pop

I watch very little TV, so I have little knowledge/interest about any of the latest shows, however, there are a few exceptions:

-The Witcher -The Curse of Oak Island -Almost anything on Animal Planet -The Mandalorian

Things I'd love to receive:

• Stickers
• Stamps (canceled or not, foreign and domestic)
• Book themed items of any sort
• Cool/unique playing cards
• Just about anything related to paper crafting
• Scrapbook sheets
• Things that sparkle, I love glittery items!

...will add more as I think of it.
