I'm 49 and live in Texas with my hubby and dog. I married my high school sweetheart in 2007. Our daughter is 25 and has her own business selling handmade creations on etsy.

My husband is a smoker. He does smoke outside and I try to get everything boxed up immediately to prevent any odor. We also have a dog.

I will always, always complete whatever swap I'm signed up for. So please, if you haven't gotten your swap for any reason, send me a note.I'd appreciate your remembering to rate as well.

I love crafts and reading. I crochet, scrap, photography, cooking, needle point and I am working on my first quilt (to name a few.). Embroidery, scrap booking.

Letter writing is a favorite pastime as well. Love magazines, too. Always reading tons of craft magazines (especially Japanese ones) and decorating magazines. Stamps for scrapping, stickers, papers.
