I'm a 34 year old stay at home mom to three awesome kids, Dakota (boy, 14, loves Duck Dynasty and working out), Haddie (girl, 8, loves Hello Kitty and just learned to ride without training wheels!) and Suri (girl, 1, Dr. Seuss, and I love putting bows, flowers and headbands on her, lol). I've been married to my hubby, Billy, for 17 years (HUGE tech guy and enjoys working out). :)

I love reading (mysteries, sci-fi), all crafting (currently learning to sew), "up cycling", cooking (adore using cast iron), gardening and just started canning this past year (and am hooked!). I love ALL things vintage/antique, and am crazy about things from the 80's, especially toys (Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears, Jem, Star Brite, Poochie, etc). I decorate in the primitive style and my dining room resembles an old general store, lol.
I love linens from the 30's, 40's and 50's and vintage aprons, too!

I am a Christian of the Apostolic Pentecostal faith, and my life revolves around the Lord . :) I'm a fifth generation church goer, and we currently have five living generations, that includes my 94 year old Gran! We have a lot of strong women in our family, and we are all very close.

I'm currently "getting in shape" by cooking healthier and exercising more. I've recently started bike riding again and hiking (proud of myself, even if I do have a long way to go, lol)!

I love the outdoors, camping, fishing, and just sitting outside enjoying nature. My absolute favorite color is kelley green, deep purple runs a close second and then the red family.

I am a big water drinker, but MUST have coffee daily, lol. Seriously love all kinds of coffee and trying new flavors.

That's all I can think of right now... :D

This is hard to pin down...

I love Gone With The Wind and its sequel Scarlett.

I'm a fan of a lot of Stephen King, The Talisman w/ Peter Straub being one of my favorites.

I like most sci-fi and mysteries.

I think I enjoy most genres of books actually. I can read just about anything. It's finding the time that's the problem, lol!

I am a huge Dr. Seuss fan and love reading them with my kiddos. We have a lot of the books and are trying to get them all! There's a ton more than what you would think, lol.

I can not "carry a tune in a bucket"! LoL Not sure if that's why I'm so terrible with singers and lyrics or what. I just hear something and know if I like it, but won't remember anything about it until I hear it again, LoL.

I do like most 80's music and oldies, love upbeat gospel and choir music, and instrumentals.

Favorite movie? Ugh, this is hard, too! I like such a wide variety it seems like, lol.

I'm not big on romance movies, dramas or movies that make me cry, although I will watch them if they have an actor/actress I like.

Of course, again, I love sci-fi and supernatural.

Thrillers are always one of my top picks!

Love comedies that the whole family can enjoy...

Ok this I can do...

The Walking Dead (favorite)

CSI Las Vegas

Psych

Vampire Diaries

Big Bang Theory

Chopped

American Pickers

and pretty much most HGTV

Oh, wow, this might be long, lol.

I love making primitive things to decorate with.

I love to upcycle and repurpose all kinds of things. I am a "frugalite", and Trash to Treasure is one of my motto's!

I have fun redoing furniture.

I like to make Garden art.

I am learning to sew and really enjoy it. I love to take a garment and turn it into something completely different.

I love creating beaded hair things and headbands.

I like making all hair things, bows, headbands, flowers, etc. So I love all kinds of ribbon, lace, flowers and buttons.

I love using vintage pieces in all of my crafts.

I love cooking (that can be considered a craft of sorts, right?)

I just started canning this past year and LOVE it! I also think Mason jars are just about the most awesome thing ever to organize with and "upcycle" for other uses.

I like baking, but since we've started eating healthier we are trying to stay away from breads and sweets.

I like trying recipes from different cuisines.

I love coming up with different things to send in everyone's lunches (I make hubby's everyday for work, too).

I think the Bento trend is really cool!

Post Cards: I'm starting a collection of post cards, prefer things related to my likes, would like to get all 50 states, or anything vintage.

Vintage Stickers: Putting together a sticker book with my oldest daughter like I had back in the late 80's, especially love the old "scratch and sniff" stickers.

Vintage Valentines

Anything Dr. Seuss related.

Unique or vintage buttons and other sewing notions.

Any type of vintage linens, hankies, scarves, aprons, hand towels, etc.

Any type of aprons, I love being in the kitchen.

Non-GMO seeds for next year's garden (love anything unique).

I wear a lot of hair things, all kinds (I have really long hair). :D

I like anything handmade.

Unique/Different types of spices with a recipe to use it in.

I don't like loose confetti in my envies. I don't mind it contained, but not loose.

I don't wear jewelry other than pins/brooches/hair accessories.

I'm not crazy about musky scents. I prefer "clean" fresh scents or fruity/floral mixes.
