I'm almost 30, but feel 20. I'm pretty easy going. I ♥ ♥ ♥ to laugh. I love pen pals and swapping is tons of fun. I try to send my swaps out before the due date, but I manage a company and have a 5 year old daughter with lots of activities so I'm a little late sometimes. However, I always try to send something extra and the later I am the more extras I will throw in!!
Also, I will not rate someone negatively due to being late on a swap to me...only if it never shows up or doesn't meet the requirements. I'd rather have something that someone took their time on than rush and get me something they just grab somewhere. :)

Here are a list of my favorite things in the world: ♥ My daughter Ruby ♥ My husband Sid (he is a chef) ♥ My wonderful and hilarious family ♥ My pets ♥ Art ♥ Passion Flowers ♥ Painting ♥ Photography ♥ Reading (books) ♥ Cemeteries ♥ Pugs ♥ Tattoos (I'm a collector, haha) ♥ Pickles ♥ Sweet Tea ♥ Halloween ♥ Quotes ♥ Daffodis ♥ Comedy ♥ Going to the Zoo ♥ Lilies ♥ Skin Care ♥ Cloud watching and star gazing ♥ Bowling ♥ Baking, ♥ Road Trips

I'm a major animal ♥er. I have 3 dogs: The oldest is 10, a black female pug named Tubi. I have a 8 year old Boxer/ Pit mix named Paco. I have an 1 year old Chihuahua named Freddie Mercury. I have 1 rescue tabby cat named Felix he is 2yrs and a B&W kitten named Hopscotch. My daughter has a Purple Betta named Pinkie and a female beta named Rose (she has had many bettas and she names them all Pinkie or Rose)...

One of my biggest passions is ART! Here are some of my FAVORITE Artists and those who inspire me:

I ♥ to read. I read every night before sleep. It is one of my favorite passtimes. I enjoy all sorts of books. As you can see I am pretty into sci fi/horror/romance type books with a female lead, but I am interested in just about anything. Here are some of my favs: The Host by Stephenie Myer, Twilight Saga, Sookie Stackhouse Series, The Road by Cormac McCarthy...

I ♥ ♥ ♥ Music. ♥ Queen is my all time favorite!! Noone Tops Freddie Mercurys voice in my opinion. I ♥ iTunes and making CD's to listen to on long drives. Here are some other bands that make me want to dance: Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Sublime, Heart, Bob Marley, Primus, FEAR, Snapcase, Split Lip Rayfield, Twisted Sister, Descendents, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, ACDC, Frederick Chopin, Neurosis, Prince, Nomeansno, Supersuckers, Merle Haggard, Billie Holiday, Pat Benetar, Willie Nelson, The Dixie Cups, Beastie Boys, L7, Hatebreed, Sheer Terror, The White Stripes, Los Crudos, Pixies, Dead Kennedy's, Tenacious D, Skid Row, Buckethead, Billy Idol, The Cars, Phil Collins, SIA, Zero 7, Fugazi, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and much more...

I ♥ painting using mixed media. I like oils, but do not have the patience to wait for them to dry. I also like scrapbooking, but am not that good at it yet. I have started to make ATC's and they are pretty fun. I ♥ making corner bookmarks. I have pretty good handwriting so I like anything where I can write like making paintings with Quotes or Scrapping Recipe books for swaps.

I really like Happy Burger, Dreamy Friends, and any Kawaii Strawberry Shortcake or Kawaii Alice in Wonderland. ♥ Stationary ♥ Scrap Booking Supplies ♥ Anything with Old Pinup Girls ♥ Anything Day of the Dead ♥ Anything Queen related (the band) ♥ Popular Fiction ♥ Newspapers or Magazines from other countries. Really anything from other countries that we wouldn't have here in the USA would be awesome. ♥ Anything (books, shoes, earrings,) for my 5 year old daughter Ruby. ♥ I collect odd/ strange dolls for my daughter. ESPECIALLY if your international I would love a weird/ cute/ strange little doll from your country..or even handmade dolls. ♥ Cute stamps ♥ Paint Pens or Markers ♥ Cook Books (handmade is fine too) for my hubby (he is a chef)

I'm interested in Private Swaps also. Great way to get to know people. I'm happy to do an ongoing private swap/ penpal with someone.
