I love sewings,scrapbooking, papercrafting and quilting.I have tried many different crafts. I have done jewelry making, papercrafts, scrapbooking, sewing, crochet, knitting, polymer clay and cake decorating. I have a cricut expression machine and quite a few cartridges.

I love thrillers, autobiographies, biographies, childrens books and craft books.I also like magazines. I love to read so magazines give me the gratification of reading without the commitment of a book.

I am a wife and mother of a college freshman. I currently do not work, but when I was working I worked as a teacher for 16 years. I am currently taking classes to earn an HR degree and I am about 4 classes away from finishing. I have many interests and some of them are listed in the box above. I like to try new things too. I can sew just about anything, but I prefer sewing for children. I can also knit and crochet but just the basics. I joined swap-bot to expand my circle and meet new people.

I love many different kinds of music. My tatstes are very eclectic. I do not pigeon hole myself into one genre, if I like it I buy it, I like R&B,Pop, Rock, Country and Rap. Some artists I like are Beyonce, Usher, Pink, Daniel Merriweather, Amy Winehouse,Macy Gary and Patsy Kline.

I like movies, but not as much as I used to. Movies have gotten too long for me and I find it difficult to sit through the whole thing. I prefer watching them at home so I can pause the movie and move around. I love thrillers and suspense. I also like some action and comedy. Some of my faves are Deuce Bigalow, any Tyler Perry Movie,The Road to Perdition, Boondock Saints and any gangster movie.

I am a television junkie. I love television. I love anything crafty of course, but I also like watching nesw programs and true crime. I am a series girl, so I really get into series, especially the ones on cable. My faves now are Nurse Jackie, Dexter, Brotherhood, True Blood, The Office, It's always Sunny in Philadelphia, Sons of Anarchy, Justified and any of the Real Housewives.

I I have a long list of likes so here is a list of things I don't like: diecuts, travel stuff, animal stuff, flower stuff, kid stuff... to be continued...

I am really into sewing and papercrafting. When I say papercrafting I mean scrapbooking and making things out of paper like fancy cards, boxes, gift card holders etc. My favorite scrapbook items are made by Jenni Bowlin, Little Yellow Bicycle, We Are Memory Keepers, Bazzil, K and Company and Amy Butler. My fave sewing fabrics are Alexander Henry and Amy Butler. It's weird that I say I dont like flower items but I love Amy Butler. I like real flowers and Amy Butler flowers because they have a modern look to me, not so old fashioned. Anyway it's hard to describe so I just say I don't like them, because it has to be a certain design I suppose.
