I am pursuing a business degree after working in a factory for 13 years. I have 3 children, 15, 10, and 2. The baby was quite an unexpected surprise. We own a farm in Missouri, about 45 miles west of St. Louis. My husband takes care of 50 cattle and everything. I handle the paperwork.

I am a Girl Scout leader and enjoy it very much.

I love candles, but not the overpowing perfume smells. My favorite scents are black cherry and sweet pea.

I am a Christian and would enjoy bookmarks, or anything, I prefer only King James, though.

James Patterson, Joan Johnston, Nora Roberts, Mary Higgins Clark, Sydney Sheldon, Barbara Delinsky, Iris Johansen, Janet Dailey, Karen Robards, Linda Howard, and many more. I enjoy series the most.

I don't like the paranormal or anything that is sci-fi. I like to read about famous people like Annie Oakley, Jesse James, Lewis and Clark, etc. Not Hollywood types, tho. I read anything I can get about castles and lighthouses.

I like a variety of music. I am crazy about Meatloaf and Santana, the 80's, some country and pop, and country gospel. I've been to Van Halen, Poison, Heart, Starship, Highway 101, and Oak Ridge Boys. I don't like the real hard rock or the stuff you can't understand.

Making SWAPS for Girl Scouts is my favorite. The troop is participating in the Thinking Day postcard exchange again this year and it is very fun learning about different troops around the world. This year we exchanged 63 postcards and we had to stop.

I have made some miniature quilts and really enjoyed it, but with the little one and school, I don't have the time. Hopefully soon, I miss it.

I really enjoy making the matchboxes!

If anyone is interested in trading, I have tons of cross stitch. Pillowcases, 2 prequilted baby quilts, dresser scarf, and more. All new, except I started one quilt, but only did one small area.

My favorite color is blue, but I like maroon and green, too.

I collect lighthouses, castles, hot air balloon pictures, miniature music boxes, and almost anything else miniature. I am collecting postcards, thimbles, and tiny coffee cups, too. A friend drew in pencil a knight and a castle, and I would like to add more pictures around it. I just started collecting hat pins, my goal is to get one from each state. I have some from Hard Rock Cafe and a few states. I like small charms, that can be put on key chains. I am always looking for new ink pens, too. I like all ink colors, except black.

We have a Chihauhau and are looking for a miniature Pinscher. We had one before and really want another. I like Yorkies, too.

I like cute monkeys, frogs, skunks,precious moments, and Raggedy Ann and Andy.

My favorite movies are Steel Magnolias, Silkwood, An Officer and a Gentleman, Mask (with Cher), and Speed. I like most movies with these same actors. I like comedies, too. Young Guns and Lonesome Dove are favorites, too. I like the newer western types.

I watch Women's Murder Club, it was taken off this season:( Snapped, and other crime shows. Holmes on Homes and other remodeling shows. George Lopez, Reba, and Summerland.

My son collects anything with white tigers. He loves any sports magazines and anything to do with sports. He plays baseball, soccer, and football. He is also a fanatic about collecting different states, etc. of playing cards and caps.

My 10 yo daughter is into anything pink, nail polish, webkinz, american girl, all girly things, and loves to read Nancy Drew.

The youngest (2) is crazy about ducks and all the characters, like Dora, Elmo, The Wiggles, etc. Her favorite things are getting into her sister's stuff and helping Daddy work. Usually by losing his tools!
