Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by :)

I have come to realize that members of this site can be very intolerant of non-perfect people. I am not looking for sympathy but just to have the chance to explain myself. I am by not one to broadcast my business but some members can tend to be pretty harsh. know we all face struggles in this life that are out of our control. I have recently found that my husband of 7 years has had several, several affairs ( continuing almost our entire marriage come to find out). He is and has been hooked on drugs as well as an "undercover" alcoholic for many years. Due to his mental abuse and extreme controlling behavior I have made the choice to file for divorce. It has been the hardest year of my life. Since then I have had to live with family member's in 3 different states. And then managed to total out my car. I am finally finding my feet. Somedays are better than others and it gets easier everyday. I know that through Gods mercy and love things will get better.mentally and spiritually. I am currently living in New Mexico. My mother just had extensive neck and back surgery so im taking care of her for the next several months.

I want to thank everyone for their patience during this very trying time. I believe that swapping and making new friends will help me find a sense of normalcy during this season of my life.

Trusting in Gods grace, mercy and all enduring love . I Love people, letter writing, shopping, reading, baking, trying new things, family time, playing card games and traveling!

I love American football. I am a University of Texas Longhorns fan. also known as UT. Hook'em Horns!

I love swapping and was super excited to find this site!

I promise to rate every swap I recieve. If you send me a swap and I dont rate you please PM I have this awful habit of forgetting to hit the "save rating" button. If you think I deserve a 3 or a 1 please PM before you rate me. I will do my best to correct any issue.

I will continue to update my profile.If you have any suggestions or questions please, please PM me!

I love country Music.. from the really really old stuff to the most up to date current artist! Love George Strait He is still the king

I enjoy the oldies as well

Criminal Minds

Downton Abbey

NCIS

I just love movies!! I watch all kinds. I do stay away from those that are overly graphic, too much cursing and anything scary ( I'm a total chicken)

I have listed on my page here a list of tea and other allergies that I have. BUT I have no problem with any foods or teas from other countries even here in the USA. My dad LOVES to try everything once :) so please send my direction. Don't worry about me not rating well because hey I asked to swap right ;)

I love private swaps! I'm up for just about anything. Are you outside the USA and looking to try new things or foods you miss???? I'm here for you.

RAK:: Christmas Cards::: I know a lot of the older generations love them. And Christmas time can be lonely. So if you have grandparents or older parents that would enjoy them, I have tons of cards and I would love to mail them one. leave me a message or post a comment :)

I currently have 2 planners.

1). (Primary planner) Daytimer desk size 5 1/2 X 8 1/2.
It's the Breast Cancer pink one with a snap cover. It pretty much looks like a rainbow. I add colored everything to it. It has a monthly view and a weekly vew for the year.. I'll try the daily sheets next year. I've decided to add pictures, **sticker sheets ( I like my pages to match. I won't use sticker flakes) washi tape, journal cards to it.. Kinda like a scrap/ journal book for the year. I've never done it before but I'm loving it. I even have its own hole punch so I can add what ever I like

2) Franklin Covey Portable size 3 3/4 X 6 3/4 It's black with a snap front. I don't have much of anything to add to this size. I've only added blank pages at this time to write on . Just like my bigger planner I bought a hole punch so I can add extras. I have no color scheme picked it.. It will end up like my primary one, full of colors. Especially with it having a black cover

THINGS I LOVE::

Pens ( gel, rollerball, and the Gelly pens) Stickers Washi tape Journal cards Project life cards Handmade envies To do list (love the ones from dollar section at Target) Blank tags Book marks ( paper clip ones and paper ones) Unique handmade items And the list goes on and on....
