Kristin

I am a mom of 3 children ages 12, 7 & 4. I live in Texas, USA. I stay home with my kids and I have a home based candle business. I have 1 dog, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, named Winston, 1 cat named Trinket and 1 husband. ;0 I am a fragrance junkie and have a considerably sized perfume collection. I wear a different one every day.:) I spend a lot of my days running children around from here to there and taking care of my home and business. When I have spare time I like to knit (just teaching myself) and do other crafts. My favorite color is yellow but I can't wear it; I also enjoy greens and blues a lot. I was a barista for about 4 years and love gourmet coffees. I do like to read but don't really have any favorite authors. I like to read a lot of non fiction books on whatever subject has caught my fancy at any point in time. Craft and healthly living books most recently. I love to read things to increase my knowledge. :)

I am open to doing private swaps with people for items I have in my wish list. Swap items I have to offer are candles (www.scenteddelights.com), some Bath & Body Works or Victorias Secret items, jewelry made by me, stamped images, handmade greeting cards for just about any occasion & Sanrio items.

I like almost all kinds of music but not rap or heavy metal. I like new stuff and older stuff too.
