I'm a stay at home mom to two boys, one in school and the other still at home with me. I'm new to the swapping world, but not new to crafting, so I'm looking forward to touching base with other crafters. I love papercrafts, cross stitch, quilting, and beading.

I love to travel when I get the chance. I've lived in South Korea, England, and Belgium, and did an internship in college at a US Army base in Germany. I'd love to get overseas again someday!

I do a lot of yoga to (try to) stay in shape. The best part is when my little guy sees me doing it, then tries to copy me.

We haven't got pets right now, but I'd love to get a dog when the little guy is a bit older. We'd also love a cat, but both my parents are allergic and they wouldn't be able to visit if we had one.

I'm a Cub Scout den leader for my older son's pack. It's a lot of fun, but a lot of work. I'm actually thinking about trying to find a kids' ATC swap that my gang could participate in.

I enjoy show music, folk music, and country, among others.

I don't really have a favorite book. I read a lot of mysteries and travel stories (love Bill Bryson for those!).

Mamma Mia! is my current favorite. Strictly Ballroom is another. I've just bought the original Japanese Shall We Dance, and need to find a time when I can sit and watch the whole thing, since I have to be able to read the subtitles.

I enjoy Coupling (UK version), Stargate: SG-1 (the early seasons), and Absolutely Fabulous (again, the early seasons).

My absolute favorite crafts are (in no specific order) papercrafts, cross stitch, quilting, and beading.

I don't have a huge "favorite" list. I love Hello Kitty, and have recently discovered the world of Kawaii.

Love Chinese/Oriental dragons.

Origami papers--love the patterns. Wish I'd bought more when I lived in Korea.

Different pens, colored pencils, markers, notebooks.

I'm sure I'll add more as things occur to me!
