I love crafting! My main focus is on scrapbooking and cardmaking. I also like to sew, quilt and try new types of crafts.
I am a very orderly person, I prefer organized, matched, uniform type crafts. Although sometimes I do like to do the more random items.
I have been scrapbooking for almost 15 years now and enjoy trying and learning new things. I have a Cricut which I love. I also love stickles, and rub-ons. K & Company is my fav. brand.
I am first and foremost a born again Christian. I love worshiping, serving, and walking with my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am a wife of almost seven years to a wonderful husband. His work ethic and love allow me to be a stay at home mommy to our two year old son, Matthew. I love my two guys very much! I also have two puppies- a chihuahua, Fenway, and a dachsund, Strudel.
I love being a homemaker, although it is a very tireing job. I enjoy cooking, participating in church activites and playgroups, hanging out with my crafting friends, and obviously crafting. I also enjoy participating in swaps.
I try to ALWAYS send out my swaps on time. I will rate, and in return, I would appreciate ratings (esp. until I get several swaps under my belt.
Reading is another passion of mine, although I am not the typical book lover. I can go weeks without reading but then go through a period of time where reading is a huge priority. If I like a book after its first few chapters, I read it nonstop until I am done. If I don't like it, I can't finish it.
My favorite fictional writer is Francine Rivers. I love all types of writers from Grisham to Stephen King to Jane Austin. Depending on my mood will determine what type of book I seek out.

Hi, I have been away from swapbot for a good while. I approved your request for membership into Praying Christians. If you would like to be an officer to host swaps, please let me know. Your profile encouraged me greatly. I am inviting you to the Prayers Lifted group also, which is open to everyone on swapbot.
thanks for the message, i can't wait to get the journal -- have fun creating!! xoxo
Hey there :) I think I sent a message but I'm not 100% sure! I have a letter ready to send your way but I lost your address! So if you could send it to me in a PM that would be awesome! Or maybe we could set up a private swap for our penpal letters if you want :)
Hope to hear from you soon! Stephanie
Yeah! I'm glad you liked them. I think those are from Making Memories :) Enjoy!
You are very welcomed! I look forward to your participation in the group and swaps. If you have any questions, just let me or any of the officers know!
nice ratings~ Straight <3s
Hi! Just wondering if you received my Ribbons & Buttons swap as I sent it two weeks ago. If you haven't received it yet please let me know and I can resend. Thanks!
Welcome to swap-bot! If you like Jane Austin, pretty things, hand-written letters and sewing...you might want to check out the Another Time, Another Place group. If you have any swappy questions, I hang out in the chat room around 10:00 a.m. most days. Happy Swapping!
