I'm a wife and a mom to 2 boys. That being said, I love anything girly, lol! I love couponing, crafting, sewing, and outreach! My favorite color used to be burgundy, but as I got older it's very hard for me to pin point liking 1 color as my favorite. I like different shades of pink, purple, blue, and red. I also love black (mostly for my clothes since it makes you look skinny)

Another thing I really love and like to have throughout my house are inspirational quotes and scriptures. I think they really motivate myself and my family when we're stressed, feeling down, etc. Words are very powerful so why not have positivity in your home! I'm a Disney lover, especially Cinderella. Growing up I always felt like I was a mix of Cinderella and Annie. I grew up in the foster system and related very well to both of those characters. They gave me hope as a child that I would have a happily ever after and I did when I met my hubby and had my children.. Other Disney favorites for me are The Little Mermaid, Tinkerbell, Tigger, Marie from Aristocats, Lilo and Stitch, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, and all things Disney!

Annie, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Pretty Woman, God's Not Dead, The Book of Eli, Selena, and all of The Saw movies. I know The Saw is the complete opposite of my other favorites, lol.

I love Christian music, especially Christian Rock! I also like r&b, pop, and reggae. Some of my favorite artists are:

The Newsboys, Chris Tomlin, Mercey Me, Hillsong, Casting Crowns, Third Day, Jeremy Camp, Missy, Mary J TLC, Salt & Peppa, Aaliyah, Danity Kane, Beenie Man, Sean Paul

I love to sew, I went to trade school in the afternoon when I was in high school for fashion and fell in love! I love most fabrics especially tulle since I make tutu's in my etsy shop. I also love satins, silks, cotton materials and fleece. I'm part of the sewing ministry and blanket ministry at my church and we use a lot of cotton fabric to make pillow case dresses and parachutes (to drop bibles from plane to countries that don't have access to one). We also use a lot of fleece to make blankets and scarves for the homeless, old people homes, cancer patients, etc.

I also love crystals or gem stones so I can bling everything out, lol.. Ribbons are great and make anything look pretty.

Using my silhouette machine is another one of my favorite crafts. I mostly use it for iron on decals and wall decals, but there's so much more I can do with it. I love learning new ways to use it and can't wait to see what else it can do!

I love when Michaels craft store has the $2 surprise bag bin, you pay $2 and have no idea what's in your bag. Your bag is always worth well over $2, I think it's the excitement of not knowing what your gonna get, but you know you can use it..

I'm a sweets junkie, it's so bad but I can't help it.. I don't like peanuts or Almonds, but my favorite candy is Almond Joy minus the almond. People ask me why not eat Mounds instead, but I don't like dark chocolate, lol. Almond Joy is made with milk chocolate.. I also like peanut m&m's which probably doesn't make sense either.. Over Christmas holiday m&m's had a white chocolate peppermint m&m's holiday special bag and I became addicted to them but now they're gone until next Christmas. I keep praying to find some in the clearance section of a store. I love gummy bears, Swedish fish, sour patch kids, ok I'm gonna stop, lol..

I also love hot tea, especially green tea. I also like white tea, pomegranate tea, blueberry tea, any green tea w/ a flavor and herbal teas. The only teas I can't drink are the ones that are made with flowers. I drank camomile tea and had a horrible reaction to it not realizing there was flowers in it.

Like I said above with the tea no flowers due to my allergies.

No feathers of any kind, I'm very allergic.

I'm highly allergic to cats and dogs, so please be mindful of the hair when packing an item. Someone sent me some awesome remnant fabrics and I had to throw them away since they were covered in animal hair.

No used postage stamps or movie stubs please, I have no use for them.

I'm a reality show junkie (no judgement please) lol.. I'm also obsessed with the Investigation Discovery channel, I think it's because I wanted to be in the FBI when I was growing up. Criminal Minds and Stalker fall into that same category of my favorite shows. Thursday nights I'm glued to my couch watching Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away With Murder. Can't forget Switched at Birth, The Fosters, Devious Maids, and my 2 new favorite shows Jane the Virgin & Empire! I also love watching Lifetime movies. My favorite tv shows to watch with my family are Modern Family and The Goldbergs. I guess I watch a lot of tv, but I only watch tv when I'm crafting or making tutu's so I guess it's ok.

The Bible, daily devotional books, any book by Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyer! When I was younger I loved reading mystery books, Nancy Drew, and John Grisham books. Now as an adult I still love to read, I just don't have the time like I did.

I'll appreciate and love anything I receive! This list is for anyone that may be stuck on trying to figure out what to swap with me. I'm excited to receive something in my mailbox that isn't a bill, lol! I'm also excited to meet new people around the world and hopefully make some new friends!
