About Me

mom and lover of all things cupcake and baking related!! love life and my family and friends......love pink (the color) oh, I love the Pink the rocker too!! she totally rocks....love anything pink!! I am the concessions coordinator for my son's middle school booster club, so I am always busy with that and always looking for great fundraising ideas. We are a Scouting family and live our lives by the Scout Law, and when we aren't working or sleeping, we are volunteering for my son's activities....you know what they say about idle hands :-)

I am a bit of a neat freak so I don't really collect stuff, cuz then it starts collecting too...I like things to be useful, unless it's cupcakey stuff to put around my baking station. The one exception to that would be that I love to decorate for the holidays...so any swaps I join that are holiday themed, please feel free to send house decorating stuff. And yes, I am one of those people who put up and take down decorations in a very timely manner, with the exception of Christmas, I put up decorations about 1 week before, and it comes down the day after...I do leave Christmas up from the day after Thanksgiving to New Years day...yes, we are those people on New Years day taking down our outside lights. Just some info to solidify that~~~~~HI, my name is Karen and I am anal retentive, but in a very laid back way, I don't expect others around to be the same way, and don't freak if the hubby or son loads the dishwasher the wrong way, (yes I believe there is a right and wrong way to do this!) We are a very fun loving, fun having and always doing stuff together family.

We are non-judgemental conservatives and registered Republicans that will NOT be voting for McCain (well, I might now, I am totally in love with, yes a girl crush, on Sarah Palin!!!)...please don't OUT us LOL!! I am a Gemini, my husband is Cancer, and my son is a Scorpio. I was born in the year of the Rooster, and it soooo fits me, my husband is the Tiger, totally fits him...and my son is the year of the Pig...and he is shaping up to fit it perfectly. Here is a link if you are not familiar with the Chinese Zodiacs...it's really fun!!

Favorite Music

Hip Hop!! anything with a beat...I am a top forties junkie.

Favorite Television

love reality TV and crime shows...probably because we don't have cable and with 5 channels that is about all that is on in the rare evenings we are home.

Favorite Crafts

scrapbooking and anything for my kitchen or involving cupcakey stuff. I really don't craft or sew, there is just not time...so please don't send me anything that I have to "create" or "put together" because it would just be a waste for you...save it for someone who would really appreciate it and be able to take the time to do it.

swappie stuffs

my favorite colors are pink and chocolate or blue and chocolate or my new one is lime green and chocolate...I love the pilsbury dough boy and anything at all baking or cupcake related. I am 39 and a mom to a teenage boy...so now you know how the rest of my life goes ;-)

I am pretty easy going and appreciate homemade things, (that other people have made) and bargains.

I love funky and nostalgic candies, gums and mints....and anything chocolate.

I love stationary stuff, fun post-its, pens, note pads and fridge magnets, any thing useful to help keep me and our lives organized.

I dream of traveling and possibly someday living in Italy. I hope they eat cupcakes there (V)

I am fascinating with other cultures, how they live, what they eat, the vast differences and similarities with my American culture.

Anything Military or Marine Corps we are totally down with!!

My husband and son both love anything regarding the military/marine corps, football, guns, military aircraft, guns, video games involving guns, camping, guns, BBQ'ing, oh and did I mention guns :-)

Please Don't !!!

Please don't send me anything that has been around cigarette smoking or cats, I am deathly allergic to both...THANKS.

Please don't send me licorice or licorice flavored anything or candy that is tooo chewy.

Please don't send me anything goth... I don't have anything against it, and am not a religious freak, it's just not my thing. I am very middle of the road, so nothing to sugary sweet over-the-top cutesy either, oh unless it's cupcakes :-).

I don't want this to sound harsh, just my reality....please don't send me something that has been sitting in your attic/basement for years and is musty and old...not my thing...I am a self proclaimed purger of stuff that has no use and is just sitting around. My husband calls me a "recycler"...he's just being nice though...I mean we recycle, but he's talking about my ability to recycle the magazines a week after they got here.

And Finally......

Thanks to all for taking the time to read my profile...can't wait to get to know everybody here and have fun swapping and shopping!! I really am very laid back, but I came from a very strict military family, so everything in it's a place and a place for everything was how I was raised.

Comment: Hi Karen - Thank you so much for the package. I love everything. You really went above and beyond. Karen sent me a photo album, note cards, candle, picture frame, post it notes, stickers, cards and a pen. All in my favorite colors and beach themed. Thanks again. Laura
Response: OMG I can't believe you already got that, I hadn't even marked it sent yet :-) so glad you enjoyed, I have to say that it was really fun for me and my 12 year old son (who thinks everything is boring) to shop on a budget and for someone we didn't know...my first swap..great fun!!! ENJOY!!!
