NOTE: The best way to leave me a message is through swap-bot and not my email. Thanks

Let's see, where should I begin? I haven't writen anything "about me" in a long time. I've been filling out school applications, doctor forms, activity slips, permission slips and the like "about child" for many years now. So, to take a moment to reflect upon myself is kind of fun, even though I'm drawing a blank at this very instance. Hmmm. Well, I guess I'll start with the basics. I am proud to call myself a wife and mother. I feel blessed with the best family in the world. I have four children and two canine (lap) children. Our oldest daughter just turned 16....(yikes), our second daughter is 13...(double yikes), next is our fun 9 year old son and last but, not least (even though small), is our 6 month old little girl. We live in the river city of Louisville, KY...where thoroughbred horses, Kentucky Bourbon and the UofL Cardinals reign supreme. Not necessarily in that order, depending on whom you talk to:) Although I'm a busy mom who sometimes doesn't know if she's coming or going, or if it's morning or night, for that matter...I still crave and somehow find that little bit of time for a couple of things that I like to do. Which is why I was excited about coming across swap-bot. It's the perfect thing for me to be able to feed my inner artistic soul, while being able to choose from so many swaps that fit into my current lifestyle.
I hope you enjoy reading my profile, as I hope to someday read yours.
Hugs and crafts,

Sena

what I pledged

I like a lot of music, just about everything... Classical, rock, and top 40 are at the top of my list. While country and jazz, are probably my least favorite, (although, some country is okay). But, I'm usually playing a good movie soundtrack, that's my favorite.

I tend to lean towards memoirs, autobiographies, (non-fiction), how to books...i,e decorating, crafts, sewing, etc. And, I love my magazines...Real Simple, Traditional home, House beautiful. Also love chidren's books...The Giving Tree, I'll be Yours Til the Cows Come Home, The Velveteen Rabbit, (right now, I'm reading "Eat Pray Love" and I'm loving it).

Too long to list all, but here are some (in no order)...- Sound of Music- National Treasure- The Bourne movies- The Shawshank Redemption (really any movie with Morgan Freeman) - Best In Show - Flirting With Disaster - When Harry Met Sally - Princess Bride - Little Women - A Christmas Story - Shrek - Elf - Willy Wonka

-Will and Grace reruns -Everybody Loves Raymond reruns -Big Love -Little People Big world -Baby Story -HGTV (Devine Design) -Project Runway -Oprah...of course

I recently took up sewing. And, I LOOOVE It! (my oldest daughter and I are taking a class together) I just got a new viking machine...it's so cool. I also like beading and jewelry making, dotee dolls, stuffies, button fairies, painting, reverse glass painting, card making. I like all types of art and crafts, and will try just about anything. There are so many things I want to learn how to do.

• My new thing is collecting thimbles from other countries (new or vintage)

• dogs (mine are havenese, but I love all dogs)

• animals...polar bears, swans, sheep, horses, and especially any mother and baby animals together

• the color yellow

• hearts

• vintage buttons

• being aries...the ram

• butter pats

• vintage sewing items...i.e. fabric and notions

• antiquing and going to estate sales

• fabric

• I like to learn about other peoples religious beliefs. I find it very interesting.

• things made in the U.S.A/Europe

• going GREEN...recycle, reuse, repurpose, reduce

-smoke (we're allergic) -strong perfume smells -goth, skull and crossbone, etc -toys from China that contain lead...so scary! -Not crazy about food and drink trades

I will usually choose only one child at a time to be the recipient of a swap.

Lynn...loves rainbow and bright colors, cow things, funky earrings, writing pens and markers, cool fabrics, postcards from other places, hard math problems or puzzles (really hard) and books, books, books!

Leigh... loves the color PINK, lime green, make-up, picture frames, pretty colorful pens, stickers, little cute socks ( the short kind,right below the ankle) pretty ribbons and hair accessories.

Collier ...loves anything and everything military (i.e. stickers, patches, toys, etc.), sharks and other mean sea creatures, snakes, dogs, games, and fact books on any of the above.

Rebecca ...baby books, cute socks, little hats, anything handmade for baby

I am still interested in being involved with creating a swap-bot convention. Or, if you live around my area and would like to have a regional get together, contact me.
