This is hard for me to write but I think it is important and need to have any future partners understand.

Sometimes life falls apart and they are beyond your control to fix them......no matter what or how you try.

I have since gotten my life back on track and hope to be able to prove that I am not a (I hate this word) 'flaker."

I have already started contacting old swap partners to try and resend and awaiting their responses. (One way to redeem)

For those that did not receive (a few), I will make it up to them however I can........given the chance.

I'm a mom of 4 very active kids. 2 boys (18 & 15) and 2 girls (17 & 8). Used to be a stay-home mom but now work. Life/kids keep me busy. I don't look my age (love it) and have been told by my kids/nieces that I'm a hip dresser & very "modern". I love to laugh.....very important. Nothing phases me. Love to scrapbook, cook/bake, photography, SHOP, music, gardening and swapping, and my passion is reading, reviewing/blogging.

I speak & write 4 languages........Greek, English, French and Italian.

Love equestrian.......prefer english saddle but do western also.

Since I'm a water sign........love anything to do with water....swimming, oceans, bubble baths, pools, etc....

I'm 5 feet tall......yes, I'm petite, but have the energy, drive and stamina of 2!!! I wear a size 4 (after 4 kids.....I'm blessed).

I love shoes!!!! Runners, high heels, boots, flip flops, stiletto sandals!!! A girl can't have too many! (size 6/small)

Love girlie girl things, but can compete like a tomboy!!!!

Love watching comedies.....whether it's a big screen movie or a sitcom. Laughter is the best medicine!!!!!

Love to read!!! My interest in books ranges from supernatural to romance/erotica/bdsm. I also love the classics.......Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Jane Austin, etc........

Music interest varies also. It ranges from Techno, Bellydancing (Mediterranean blood), some country, to Sean Paul, P Diddy, Pussycat Dolls to old school rock (KISS, AEROSMITH, AC/DC).....when your children listen to different varieties of music.....you learn to go with the flow.

There are no allergies in this household!

Other than my husband and 4 children, we also have 1 spoilt and lovable dog (6 year old Male) and 3 cats (2 females, 1 male) and 1 male, LOPS bunny

I think it's great to have a forum just for swapping.

I am entering this info for myself and my kids (they are a BIG part of my life). They so enjoy getting things also in my mail, and they also like to help pick out things for my partners (they are becoming excellent future swappers)
