I have been away for quite some time and had some issues in my personal life that kept me from completing quite a bit of swaps a few years back. I am attempting to make amends for those swaps and have done so in the past couple of years. I am looking to get back into swapping but very slowly that way I do not flake on anymore swaps!! I am sorry if I didn't send you something! If you are still interested in receiving a swap that I owe you, let me know and I will do my best to make amends for it. (Even though I know my ratings can't be changed.)

Currently, I am a 35 year old Kindergarten Assistant Teacher, a student going to school for my BA in Early Childhood, and I am a mom to a 6yr old little man who loves to learn, loves reading, trying new things and has a thirst for adventure just like his momma.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE music! ALL types. If you have a particular type of music/artist/singer or group/song that you like, by all means share it with me! I am open to listening to all types of music. I think it boosts my mood. I listen to music almost 24/7. Even when I am asleep. I think the best time for me to listen to music is when I read. On my Pandora shuffle right now, I am currently listening to R&B love songs, Rap, Rock/ Heavy Metal, and Motown. What an eclectic selection of music if you ask me!!

When I was younger I HATED to read. I had to read alot of books during the school year and then during the Summers we had to read tons of books and write book reports. Not a good, fun way to spend your Summers if you ask me! My favorite genres are Mystery/Suspense/ Thriller, Self Help/ Motivation, Romance Comedies, Classics (i.e Shakespeare plays) and Crafts. I have read books like Harry Potter so the possibilities are endless. I am really not limited to a particular genre, this is just a list of books I prefer to read and would buy for myself. However, like I have said with music if there is a book or author you want me to check out by all means let me know. It might interest me into a genre that I never thought I would enjoy.

I like any kind of movie. I am not really particular or have a certain type in this category. I would just mention that I am not a fan of love stories, i.e the Notebook. However, I did read the book -which I did enjoy- but the the movie didn't appeal to me as much. Too sappy in my opinion. Tell me your favorite movie. I probably haven't seen it!

I do alot of crafts but they have fallen by the wayside because all my crafty things mostly are in storage. I haven't had the money, time or space to do much of anything but I am hoping now that I found this site that I can finally get back to the things that I enjoy. Somethings that I really enjoy are sewing, making dotee dolls, paper crafts other than scrapbooking, scrapbooking, making ATC's, and crocheting. I am sure there is a few other things that I like to do but at the current moment I can't think of them right now. I have been on so many craft sites and learned how to do so many things over the years that it is hard to keep up with them. I LOVE postcards though. I have joined a site called www. Postcrossing.com. If you enjoy sending postcards and receiving them from all over the world you might want to check it out. I have been on there for a while and have amassed over 1000 cards received and I can't even begin to tell you how many postcards I have in my blank card collection that I have bought to send out over the years since I have been on that site.

If you want to send me a surprise for extra hearts or stars- here are some hints:

• ATC supplies Backs Empherma Ribbon Stickers Other embellishments

• Dottee Doll supplies Fat quarters Yarn Beads Thread

• NEW Stickers

• Tea

• Postcards

• ANYTHING Pink or Purple

• ANYTHING relating to France and Paris/Eiffel Tower

I am pretty much a happy-go-lucky kind of person. Little things make me happy. So if you are questioning whether or not I will like what you send, don't question me. Just send it. There is NOTHING that I don't like!
