I enjoy swapping and I think I'm pretty easy to please. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

I love reading, and will read whatever I can get my hands on. Sci-fi and romance are not my favorites, but anything else is fair game!

I love to hear the story behind a recipe - how you discovered it, who you like to serve it to, etc. I'm really not a picky eater, although I do have a few dislikes (meatloaf, olives, and fish).

I'm always looking for new main dish recipes for my crockpot, especially recipes with longer cooking times. I like to turn the slow cooker on before leaving for work and come home to a nice hot meal, so recipes that take only a few hours to cook are not practical for me.

I prefer to receive recipes on 4x6 cards if possible.

I enjoy many types of crafts. Counted cross stitch and crochet are my current favorites. I've also recently taken some beginning quilting classes.

I have a fairly strong dislike for glitter and would prefer not to receive glittery items.

I love teas and other hot drinks. I am a morning coffee drinker, so breakfast teas are not for me. I'm kind of ambivalent about chai teas - I like some but not others. Fruity/chocolate/other sweet teas are usually a hit with me. I also enjoy unusual or seasonal flavors.
