As of March 29,2009 I will no longer be participating in public swaps. Once the site is under control and personal attacks are not allowed to take place I will consider private swaps with known members.

March 16.2009..going out door to hospital with hubby will be out of touch for a while....

March 14,2008....Hubby is extremely ill and has been. I am also sick due to taking care of him and stress. He is set to go in the hospital on Tuesday am. I am doing my best to get all my swaps completed, but it has been very difficult to find the time or energy to swap. If I am going to be late on sending I will pm you if you are my partner....

Feb 14, 2009...Just updating a I forgot to when he got home...Robert was discharged on the 8th...will be seeing a dr. about his diabetes and is being treated for Valley Fever.

Feb.1, 2009...My son in law Robert is currently in ICU wih complications from Juvenile Diabetes. Hubby and I are have our grandson with us and our grandaughter is with the other nana. Will not be on much....Please pray for Robert.

Jan. 21st, 2009...I know that I said I was going to back off swapping, but now that I am caught up and life is moving along at a bearable pace...I just can't help but looking at swaps :P So maybe just a few fq swaps wouldn't hurt LOL

Jan, 20th, 2009...I am happy to say that as of today I have caught up on all my responsibilities here on swap bot except for the journal swap that I still owe. I am in contact with my partner and we have made arrangements for me to finish that journal and send it to her.

I am going to back off on swapping for right now...I am not leaving swap bot....can't get rid of me that easy :P I just feel I need to focus on other things at this moment.

My oldest daughter has just found out that she is having a boy! She is due June14th. :)

I am available to angel if needed!

Jan. 12th, 2009....We are home from the hospital. We have had a very rough month of December and a bad beginning to the new year. My husband was turned down for a lung transplant :( We are not giving up and are going to try another facility in another city. I have answered all pm's and am in the process of getting caugh up on my swaps.

I am 39 years old and have been happily married for the last 8 years. I love to pen pal and swap! I collect teddy bears, fairies and pen pal supplies...I have a closet full...My family says I need to attend pen pals anonymous LOL
Lets see....My favorite color would be purple but I really like all colors.

I own 1crazy Chinese Crested puppy, a totally antisocial cat, a ball python and leopeard gecko. Love to cook when I have the time...I grill over cooking inside any day! I am the mom of three and ProudNana to a handsome grandson, a beautiful granddaughter and have another grandson on the way. in

rock and roll, love music of the 80's, like some country, jazz, blue grass really like just about all music but can not stand rap.

Harry Potter, Back to the Future, Pretty In Pink, The Breakfast Club, The Goonies,,,,see an 80's thing going on here? LOL I love horror and sci fi movies old and new. I am a huge Johnny Depp and Tim Burton fan!

FBI File, Forensic Files, Court TV Channel, anything on the Discovery Channel or History Channel, I really do not watch any prime time tv

At the moment I am focusing mainly on sewing. I am currently hand quilting a blanket for my MIL and have plans to make quilts for my grandchildren. I also enjoy crocheting.

Quilt is almost done...just have to bind it :D Now I am obsessed with knitting! And small quick sewing projects are also keeping me busy.

whatIpledged

I love Disney Characters...especially Eyeore. I love chocolate, milk or dark, but without any filling...except peanut butter. I love sour candies and sugarless gum....I love plush animals that I can set up as decoration.....duckies, bunnies, frogs, chickens. My kitchen is decorated in roosters and chickens and some little stuffie door pulls would be awesome. I have a whole list of things I like and would love to receive at the bottom of my profile.
