I'm a mid-west girl from a very small town, techically it is a village. The "town" is located 2 hrs south-west of Chicago on the Mississippi River. Population 1600. I have lived here my entire 28 years. I'm a stay-at-home mom to a 3 yr old boy. I have been married 6 years and have known my husband since we were in pre-school. I have lived in 5 houses in a two-mile radius. My husband and I just happen to buy the house next door to the one my dad built and I lived in for my first 12 yrs. Its nice to be back on this street - great family neighbor. We have lots, LOTS of animals; 2 dogs, 2 rabbits, a cat, a guinea pig, a Tokay gecko, 2 turtles, countless number of fish (mostly african cichlids). I pretty much stay busy around the house with all of its wonderful craziness!

Love to make things in general, just have to make time to get creative! Geez don't know where to start my mom was/is a craft freak and I was in Girl Scouts. My favorites are scrapbooking, cross-stitching, beadwork/Jewelry making, painting (or collecting all of the supplies needed for such activities). I am really interested on getting into ATC's, inchies, and all this fun stuff on here. Hope to make some great friends too!

There aren't very many things I don't like, BUT...

I would rather not receive any religious items. I don't drink coffee or tea. I don't like tomatoes, but love ketchup!?! I'm not into dark and semi-sweet chocolate, white and milk chocolate are my preference, but I never turn down candy!! I LOVE CANDY! Willy Wonka candy is my favorite.

My 3 yr old collects frogs. And I collect just about everything, or have at one time. I'm a pack-rat through and through.

And I LOVE STICKERS!

I will add more later, hope I can get in to the swap on todays date still!!
