About Me

I am a Bible Believing Christian. I love crafts, reading, horses (have 2), cats, (have several). Have 3 dogs, mixed breeds.Cheyenne, male looks like collie mix, Brandi, rottweiler/border collie mix, female.and then there's Bella, a shitzu/Maltese. I also have two pet cockatiels who are around 15 yrs old.

I also enjoy traveling and have lived in France and Germany (twice). I'm an army brat and my husband is retired army so I've lived in a few states too, Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennesee, Washington, Texas, N. and S. Carolina and Missouri.

Also love flowers and gardening. Married, 27 years with 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren. Mostly a homebody, but do enjoy traveling.

I like watching old movies on TCM. Enjoy country living and have chickens and some acreage.

I also love nature and antiques. I have an old horse I sometimes ride and a bicycle. I like going hiking and camping in the summer. I love God and my country, and family.

I like making my own home remedies for colds, and ailments. Made my own chest rub like Vicks with coconut oil and eucalyptis oil. I'd like to try making soap someday and some other things that I've saved recipes for.

Dislikes

I don't care for gothic themes, vampires or the morbid.

I also don't like creme filled chocolates. Also hard candy. I have quite a few notepads so I don't need any more unless they are very cute and botanical themed. Don't need any more journals.

Teas I don't really care for are licorice, or chamomile.

Hobbies

I have quite a few collections. I've been collecting stamps since I was nine. I also collect rocks and minerals, foreign coins, dolls from different countries, colorful feathers from birds, and shells.

I also have collected some old children's books and I have almost all the Wizard of Oz books and the original Nancy Drew Books. I love the books that Dover Publications sells. I also have collected the Mr. and Miss books, for example Mr. Happy, Mr. Rush, Little Miss Trouble, Little Miss Bossy.

I've collected almost all the Shirley Temple movies. A lot are on video cassettes, but I still have a vcr so it doesn't matter to me.

likes

Things I enjoy are vintage pictures and nostalgia. I grew up in the 50's and 60's and enjoy things from those eras.

I also love pictures and items with butterflies, hummingbirds, and ladybugs or flowers on them. I love romantic themed items and shabby chic. Also victorian themes is another favorite. I enjoy lacey things, like handkercheifs, doilies.

Love retro crafts. Also small books about butterflies, nature, nature crafting, crafting with reuseable items. Love books like treasures from throwaways, junk beautiful, shabby chic.

Love flowery things. Roses, lavender and lilacs are favorites. Little dolls,kniknaks. Love, love to go to thrift stores and garage sales.

Some personal items I enjoy are hand creams such as crabtree and evelyn and goats milk soap. I try to use mostly natural soaps for washing my face. I like looking at websites with natural recipes and products and also like using different essential oils.

As far as candy goes I love chocolate, but mostly dark (mounds) and reese peanut butter cups. Non-chocolate favorites are bit 'o honey and aplets and cotlets from Washington state.

My favorite colors are pastels and I also like earth tones. Lavender and dusty rose are favorites.

I love handmade items like little dolls and bottle caps with little embellishments, Oh, so many others, spool dolls, sock dolls, butterfly fairies etc, fairy gardens.

Things I would enjoy getting for swaps would also be cute/colorful buttons, flower seeds, tiny figures, stamps, stickers, ATC etc. And anything that I have listed in likes.

I love going to thrift stores and antique stores also and almost always find some great treasures.

My favorite stone is turquoise.

As for teas I like most any herbal, black and white teas. See dislikes for the teas I don't care for. I like different cute tea infusers. I also love coffee and drink it strong with cream and sugar. It's a must every morning to wake me up.

I would say one of my favorite things is to cozy up with a blanket, a warm cup of tea and good book.

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely ♥ Day Button Fairy. I love her sweet face, the transparent butterfly wings are so unusual and pink and green together is my favorite. The silk flower makes the back almost as pretty as the front. I will enjoy hanging her in my craft room. Happy Valentine's Day! ♥
Response: Thank you so much. I'm so glad you like her. I was hoping you would like her. Happy Valentine's Day to you also.

Comment: I love the tag and the gifts. I just love Lindt candies, even though they aren't made in Seattle ~haha! The angel is a beautiful addition to my collection. Next time you are coming to WA let me know, maybe I could meet you somewhere. I grew up in Arizona but really love it here in the Northwest!
Response: You are so very welcome. I love Aplets and Cotlets which are made in WA. I usually visit in the summer. It would be nice to meet you. I love the NW too. MO is pretty, lots of woods, but no Mts or ocean. Have a Merry Christmas!

Comment: Thank you for thinking of my hobby -- the quilted piece is actually a pot holder -- the little plastic ring sewn to one corner is the give-away. (I've made pot holders of this sort myself.) The handkerchief is authentically antique.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like it.
