**Taking some time off for the holidays. I have sent out all swaps and everyone should have their stuff by now. Let me know if you didn't receive your swap from me and I will get right back with you. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone!!!

*Let me know if you don't receive a swap before you rate. I always get them out, but I'm from a small town and stuff happens slowly around here. I have yet to rate someone poorly because I always communicate the problem with the swapper. Please give me the same consideration if something doesn't show up. I'll find out what's going on!

I'm married, have a daughter who is into crafts, and a 25 pound cat that we say is "muscular". I am not very good at crafts, but I do enjoy photography and cooking. And I love sending and receiving postcards from all over the world. And I would love to be pen pals with people worldwide! One thing I should note, I am allergic to smoke and have to take medicine for it, so please keep that in mind for hand made crafts.

I love all music, with the exception of twangy country and cussing rap. I love getting music in the mail. My favorites are 80's, classic rock, big band, steel drum calypso, instrumental french, spanish and italian, crooners, pop, classic, movie soundtracks, etc.

The Shack, The Bible, cooking and baking books, love the small cookbooks at the checkout aisle in the grocery store but rarely buy them, love gardening books, like suspense and mystery novels, authors I like are Nora Roberts, Fern Michaels, and the like.....

Star Wars, Jumanji, Jungle Cruise, Marvel and DC, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones movies, Harry Potter movies, Jurassic Park, Poltergeist, Beetlejuice, action, scary (not gory) and comedies, love Johnny Depp, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Dwayne Johnson, Brendan Fraser, and Meryl Streep movies. Don't like Julia Roberts.

Love old X-Files, Twilight Zone, and Andy Griffith Show, and stuff like The Mandalorian, Ghosts, Young Sheldon, Wednesday, and The Rookie

I'm not very good at crafts, but I try. I love getting anything homemade, especially useful things like bookmarks, magnets, potholders, dishtowels, etc.

Everything Disney, Anything travel related or looks travel related, Exotic Animals. Harry Potter, Paula Deen, French, Italian, or New Orleans inspired artwork, Victorian stuff, Postcards of places and attractions, Almost anything. My favorite colors are aqua/turquoise (sea blue-green to be specific) and peach. But I am very fond of pink, blue, yellow and lavender, too.

Can't think of too many things I dislike. Surprise me!

Things I love to get in the mail as surprises are: bookmarks, magnets, stationary, note cards, cute note pads and post-it notes, tote bags, mixed music cd's(especially relaxation and "dinner" music cd's), stickers, cool pens(I am a pen FREAK), candy (I have a terrible sweet tooth-just no coconut candy, please!), recipes - especially crock pot and baking recipes, and personal notes from "swappers".
