Thank you to all the people on swap bot who have made this a fun experience.

I live in a rural area in upstate NY. It's on one of the Finger Lakes and is a beautiful place. I'm married to a good man and have three grown children and three grand children 14 and 12 year olds and 8 months.

I like country. Irish, soft rock, 50's . My favorites are Mary Chapin Carpenter, Trisha Yearwood, Sugarland,.Melissa Etheridge, Patsy Cline. Josh Groban, Joni Mitchell, Alan Jackson

. I enjoy Nora Roberts, Danielle Steele, Fannie Flagg,, Nicholas sparks Janet Evanovich

I'm not a big movie watcher but when I do watch I like to be entertained rather than scared.

My favorite tv show is the Antique Road Show. I love seeing the objects and what if anything they are worth. I also like the home and garden show that shows people buying houses or fixing them up. I like the reruns of Sex in the cIty, The Big bang, Pawn Stars, American Pickers. Say yes to the Dress , House hunters.

Right now I am into altered books which is a very bad craft for people who are already savers. You think you might be able to use anything. I like scrap booking, jewelry making, polymer clay,(fimo,sculpey)crocheting, card making.I've been using a round loom to make hats. I like the idea of quilting even though I haven't made one yet.

I enjoy coffee and teas. I love chocolate and dark, milk, mixed with peanut butter or nuts all work for me. I like scented soaps and lotions. I like most kinds of candy.Some other things I like are gardening,vintage linens, gnomes, cards, jewelry, stickers. old photos from the fifties and earlier, folk art, handmade things, postcards, calligraphy pens,costume jewelry or unusual jewelry,pottery. My favorite colors are red, yellow, purple, blue. I like soccer and baseball. I like the spring, summer and fall but am not so keen about winter in upstate NY. I don't like skulls, goth stuff. porn.
