I am..... married to the most awesome man on Earth, a Mother to two beautiful kids, over 40, a born-again Christian, a Scrapbooker, Stamper, Jewelry Maker, Basic Crafter. I love to... watch movies, hang out with family and friends, ride my bike around town, go out to eat, have fun!

I'm new to Swap-Bot, so please be patient and let me know if you don't get something I'm supposed to send. Leave me some comments if you think I can improve my profile somehow. Still learning!

My favorite music is Contemporary Christian (www.klove.com). I also like many other kinds of music. Not a huge fan of rap or ecclectic jazz tho.

My favorite books are usually non-fiction, especially stories about people who have overcome some type of struggle.

I love all kinds of movies. Right now, tho, "chick flicks" aren't my favorite for some reason. I do love "When Harry Met Sally", "Chicago", and "Dream Girls". I love to rent movies on Redbox.com and watch them at home with my husband. I do take my kids to the cheap theater in town for all the fun kids movies.

I don't watch much television any more since there really isn't a whole lot worth watching.

I love to scrapbook (traditional and digital), rubber stamp (cards mostly), making bead jewelry (natural beads, glass beads, swarovski crystal). I've tried all kinds of crafts over the years. I'd like to try painting soon. Would love to try sewing, but don't have a lot of time for that right now.

My favorite colors are red, neutrals, periwinkle blue, fall colors. Don't care for pastels or orange (unless it's a pumpkin color). When I craft, I usually gravitate towards the browns and neutral colors and "trendier" colors (brown/pink, brown/lime, pink/lime). I also like primary colors. Again, not a fan of the pastels usually. I sold Creative Memories for 8 years - still a fan (please don't send me any CM products tho as I have TONS). I like Close to My Heart and Stampin' Up! products. I love Jolee's and K and Co. I'll take anything anyone wants to send my way tho. I do use brads, sometimes eyelets, fibers if I can figure out what to do with them, ribbons. I'll try anything. I usually buy supplies which I can use lots of different ways.

I love Bath & Body Works stuff. I stick to scents like Rain-kissed leaves. Nothing too floral or fruity. I love Yankee candles.

I have two children. A boy, 14, and a girl, 11, and two dog, so anything with those themes is fine. We're not real sports people so none of those themes please (unless it's a Cleveland team). Not real picky on that stuff tho cuz I have lots of scrapbooking/stamping friends to share with.

As for food stuff....I don't have any food allergies. LOVE chocolate! I like cinnamon gum. HATE licorice!!! Fruit flavored candies are ok. Not my all-time favorite unless it's Starburst. Peanut butter is yummy. I love coffee with french vanilla creamer. Don't like Starbucks. Enjoy going out to eat (restaurant coupons are great!), especially Italian, Middle Eastern, Seafood. I like recipes for easy things like casseroles and crock pot things. I don't really collect anything as I don't have room to display things. I love anything Disney-related. My daughter and I like Hello Kitty and Tinkerbell stuff. Anything else, just ask me.
