Let's see... I'm a mother to 3 little girls (K, A, & H.) I had the youngest 2 at home (on purpose) and I'm married to the love of my life and sweetheart. I spent 4 years in the military and got out honorably after my term. I love all different types of crafting. I especially like antiqueing and grunging things up, making little scrapbooks with dangly charms, sewing and making patterns for dolls and kids toys. I make cards and I did digital scrapbook designing for some time. I love natural, recycled and thrift things and giving them new life (repurposing).

I create digital scrapbooking (often), alter books & scrapbook (anytime), cross stitch (not often - hard with little ones), embroider (not often (need transfer stuff/paper/pen etc), stamp (anytime), make cards (often), make clay beads (not often), hemp jewelry (sometimes), recycle stuff (whenever I can), craft with my kids (very often), and sew dollies and animals and baby things (very often).

I grew up riding horses and playing softball, doing water sports and camping. I've always been a Tomboy but I think it's less apparent nowadays. I have 2 brothers, one older, one younger. I'm an outgoing & adventurous type of person. Oh, I don't like to cook really, but I do anyway, always in need of a healthy yet SUPER easy recipe to help me along! haha ha. My daughter is a little chef though :) She gets it from my husband! I'm VERY straight forward (as if you couldn't tell by now)

Let's see, how long can this list get???

I am a very PRACTICAL person. If it is something that can be used for making something else, then it will probably be a total hit!

I pretty much like everything :) anything that is eye catching or artsy! So I would love to see your art, something made just the way YOU like to make it.

I LOVE all things red APPLES!! My whole kitchen is decorated with them.

Fat quarters are awesome too :)

I LOVE vintage things!! Very old & vintage books ;) vintage fabrics, vintage ribbons, vintage patterns, vintage cards, note cards, ephemera, vintage jewelry, vintage green :)

Also, little vintage charms from yard sale bracelets and earings, buttons, watch peices/parts and embelishments. Things that can be used on a variety of crafts are fab!

Little metal objects and trinkets, watch parts, steampunk etc.

Things used in new and innovative ways.

Antiqued things, grunged, aged, altered :) any ephemera, old postcards, old stamps

Shabby things

Homemade things!!!!

Bohemian, grunge or elegant style things (kind of an eclectic mix)

oh and the colors you see together in nature! example: beach beige and dk ocean blue with light sky blue or wheat field tan with hay field green and tree bark browns or sunset orange and yellow with red... snow capped mountain white with sky blue and distant mountain purple... etc etc... could go on forever!

I think my most favorite color of all time is lavendar (with cream too) but I rarely use it in papercrafts.

anything nature and/or woodland...butterflies, bumble bees, dragon flies, leaves, flowers, birds, nests, eggs, fairies, owls,deer/doe, bunnies, and also angels, mermaids,

:) BUTTONS (all sorts, totally addicted), rainbows, damask patterns

I love loose tea- jasmine tea, peach tea, peppermint tea, almond tea, apple cinnamon tea and more :) (NO GREEN TEA PLS)

I have 3 little girls that love to swim, craft, cook, read and cut things into little bitty peices, oh and stickers. They love dogs, they have two little schnauzers. They love pink, and they love their baby sister and dolls and things - anything for them (no candy please).

I DONT care for candy, stuffed animals, TV show themed items, state themed items, things that smell of smoke, college stuff, pet stuff.

I don't care for black tea, chocolate tea, caramel tea, or green tea, ginger tea, or earl grey tea and I prefer no caffeine, but drink caffeinated once in a while.

I don't care for blood and gore scary movies, but I do like suspense, drama and comedy. I don't really watch TV much.

My husband doesn't understand all this swapping stuff so if you'd like to help keep the masses happy :)
