I've been married to my best friend for 46 years. We have three sons, three granddaughters, and three grandsons. I'm retired from local government. My favorite color is RED!! But, my kitchen in Black, white, gray and Red and a Mary Engelbreit "Queen of the Kitchen" theme. I collect Mary Engelbreit, Precious Moments, Barbie, Clocks, snowglobes, Antique Hankies, Fiestaware and quilts. I love classic cars and Harley Davidson! I ride a 2015 Freewheeler. For postcards, I prefer that you send it naked!

Pansies are my favorite flowers. And I love socks!

I've been searching for Mary Engelbreit fabrics and they are really hard to find in rural Arizona. Anybody sending me Mary Engelbreit fabrics, even fat quarters, will automatically receive a heart! Re: swaps/deadlines/rating -- I always send my swap packages and I always rate the people who send to me. So if it's been a while since the deadline and you haven't received from me, please DO let me know so I can track it down or re-send as needed. And if you sent me something a while back, but I haven't thanked or rated you, then contact me because I probably didn't receive it. (Thanks to "Tia Bel" for this excerpt since I copied it from your profile. I thought it was a good idea!)

Country: Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, Trace Adkins, Dolly Parton, Reba MacEntire, Gretchen Wilson, Terry Clark, Leann Rimes, Shania, Twain...well, just about ALL Country music.

Romance and Comedy

House, Everybody Loves Raymond, Malcolm in the Middle, American Idol, all DIY craft shows, Dirty Jobs, George Lopez, How It's Made, and Days of Our Lives when I get a chance to be home during the day.

Sheeesh! Crocheting, knitting, cross-stitch, tole painting, plus drawing and watercoloring and all paper crafts. Never met a craft I didn't like! Oh yeah, and my first love, sewing!
