07/08/2023 I took about a month off from swapping but I am back!!

I updated my profile 5/2022 and hope that it is easier to read...

I'm a wife to a man who I probably don't deserve and mom of 3 boys. I work at a hospital and keep busy working in my craft room making all sorts of things. I love stand up paddleboarding and try to get out on the river as much as possible. I love to look good, who doesn't love a cute outfit, but truthfully am more of a tomboy. I played roller durby for a year and miss it greatly but still throw the skates on from time to time. I have a great personality and love people...most of the time. A quote that would describe me would be..."she has a great heart but that mouth..."

LOVE:

• Darker colors, especially purples and blues.
• Turtles
• Halloween and Día de los Murtos
• Fall is my favorite season.
• Sugar skulls and designs.
• I drink 5hr energies more than any other caffeinated beverage, although I will drink a light coffee but would rather have tea. My tea go to's are green, chai and black teas.
• Word search and sudoku puzzles.
• Tulips and Hydrangeas
• Playing cards - An interesting fact about me is that I dealt cards at a casino for 14years while working my current job.
• Paper - any and all kinds!!!!
• Pens (InkJoy is my go to)
• Ribbon
• Washi Tape & Washi Stickers
• Paper flowers
• Embellishments
• Jack Skellington and Sally
• Handmade envelopes
• Postal Stamps - I stop at all the small town post offices now whenever I am traveling and try to get old stamps that they have on hand and have
  been buying so many stamps online that I started getting the USPS magazine without requesting it LOL!!

DON'T LOVE:

• Dark chocolate
• Cherry anything
• Happy birthday/Christmas gifts as one...my birthday is Christmas Eve so I've gotten that a lot and it's seriously frustrating.
• The color red, although please don't let that be a reason for not sending me something with red in it. Red has its place in the world and in crafts and food...especially red liquorish, yummmmm!
• Food stickers
• Kid stickers
• Planner stickers.

If I get anything on my 'Don't Like' list I will typically try to find a swap to resend it, so nothing will go to waste! I never want to waste anything!

• Wreaths
• Garland
• Bulletin boards (I decorate in the lab at the hospital I work at and also decorate the outpatient area...hospitals are already so 'sterile' so why not make it a bit more welcoming?!!)
• Cards
• Party favors
• Handmade envelopes
• Handmade tags

I'm always up to trying something new too! I have a Cricut Maker and LOVE it!

I love a good romantic comedy and supernatural movie (yes, I was a Twilight fan) my go to background movie is Pitch Perfect, Dirty Dancing or Twilight. I'll watch a good mystery or adventure too. I like scary, not gross, as long as I have someone to watch it with me.

Friends, Grey's Anatomy, Yellowstone, Supernatural, anything on HGTV or DIY networks.

I have a wide variety of interests regarding books and will read close to anything. Some of my favorite authors are:

• Greg Iles
• James Patterson
• Diane Chamberlain
• Ken Follet
• Patricia Briggs and many more

I love a good book! My favorite childhood book was The Velveteen Rabbit and I have a fun collection of this book from many different places and authors.

I listen to pretty much anything, it pretty much depends on my mood and how my days been. A few of my favorites are:

• DMB
• Pink
• Metallica
• Red Hot Chili Peppers
• Most 80's and 90's
• Country
