About Me

I am 38, I am a mother of four children. My girls are 10, 7, and 6. My little boy is 3 and he has Autism. My favorite things are public: education, library, and radio.

I am easy to please because getting mail is always wonderful. But, if you really want to find something I like, you can gaze over these words that I love and see what you are inspired to choose or create.

Cats, letter Q, purple,

80's, mothers and children, paper,

collage, calico, postcard,

folk, faces, stories, big eyes,

English tins, art nouveau, poetry,

forgotten, remembered, esoteric,

Prince, carved stamp, thoughts,

40's, words, writing, Victorian,

thrift, Halloween, world religions,

obscure, old, journal, portraits,

letterboxing ~all about you~. :)

Favorite Music

If you are in a swap with me relating to music, I prefer to hear what you love, not something tailored to my favorites.

About My Kids.

The girls are ages 10, 7, and 6. My little boy is 3.

To make an easy read, I'll list their interests lumped together:

Things to write with

Things to write on

Postcards (they all collect)

Pressed pennies

Candy

Hair accessories

Jewelry making items

Crazy socks and tights

Rocks and gems

Bottle caps

Themes they like:

American Girl, Muppets, Jim Hensen, Scooby Doo, Harry Potter, Princesses and Fairies, Frogs, turtles, owls, cats, horses, elephants, Thomas the Tank Engine (esp. James) In the Night Garden Bob the Builder

A bit about them individually:

Jaden is 10: Favorite colors: Orange-Brown-Turquoise, she loves math and magic. Harry Potter, Warriors (by Erin Hunter), Fashion design, neon.

Maya is 7: She loves all the colors of the rainbow, but especially white. She loves funny faces and can be gross :-P, She plays violin, loves Korean culture, and wants to teach cats tricks when she grows up.

Rhoslyn is 6: She is my girly-girl. She likes pink, hair accessories, frilly and cuddly things, and roses. She likes Hello Kitty (especially Kerropi).

For my son:

Thomas the Tank Engine, the Alphabet, images of foods (especially fruits and veggies), trains, anything with wheels, In the Night Garden, and songs.

They wear sizes 12, 10, and 7. My son wears a 4T

Used/thrift items are fine, but please don't send something you wouldn't want your own kids to have.

Food

I'm updating this list (8/2011) because I know it was very vague before. I hope this helps, but we are so easy to please. We love to see the favorite candies/foods in your part of the world/country, and to know which you enjoy. Every swap like this is a geography lesson first, and a chance to try tasty sweets second.

My favorite flavors are: Chocolate with interesting flavors (see my ~don't like~ list below). I love coconut, mint, raisins, banana, citrus, rootbeer, berries, and peanut butter (but not all in the same candy, Lol!)

My kids enjoy these flavors: watermelon, butterscotch, cotton candy or anything super sweet.

We do NOT like these flavors at all: coffee/mocha, maple, black walnut, very dark chocolate unless in combination with something sweet.

Comment: Belated thanks for your gorgeous kittycat PC. The quote was soooo good, and how awesome is it that the writer's surname was Wood Krutch!? I hope your little boy's first day of preschool went well and that he's getting into a comfortable routine with it. And his mum too! :)

Comment: You didn't have to send more stuff, but I do appreciate it. I guess I did misunderstand the concept of this swap, so I am sorry to have been unhappy. thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtfulness! xoxo
Response: The swap was to create a "What is it?" box like the ones used in speech therapy. My son's speech therapist uses these types of toys, and I explained in my letter to you how she uses them. She buys hers at yard sales. You can not buy a pre-made box like this, you have to put interesting odds and ends together. Even if there was a prepackaged box like this, you couldn't buy it for $10. I know you just received it today and it wasn't like what you sent to me, but consider trying to use the box with your daughter before being disappointed. I will be more than happy to buy her a coloring book and tshirt, etc... but this is not what we agreed to swap.

Comment: I cannot imagine how you felt nursing your baby and watching TV. I agree with you that if more people were willing to be kind and listen to their hearts then the world would be a better place. One person at a time!

Izzo on Sep 9, 2009:

Thank you for the heart!)) I`m really glad you like my postcard))

GTstamper on Aug 31, 2009:

I created another postcard challenge swap. Hope to see you again for this round! Take care, GT

SoulSwirl on Aug 26, 2009:

Absolutely! Beautiful poem. I'd much rather see your words than the inspiration behind writing them. After all, inspiration is only a kick in the pants to take action. thanks for the additional postcard, It was worth it.
