I am taking a break from swap-bot to spend time with my family and enjoy the summer. Be back soon.

I am a 45 year old wife and mom. My kids are ages 23, 21 and 19. I have two dogs who I love dearly. I work 1-2 days a week, we own a construction business. Due to health challenges, I don't work as much as I used to.

I'm passionate about mental health awareness and sobriety. If you would like to know why, shoot me a PM and I will gladly share my story.

If you do not receive a swap from me, please contact me so I can have the chance to make things good. I am not a flaker and I've been working hard to be a good swapper.

My favorite shows:

• Young & the Restless (been watching it forever)
• Walking Dead (hate Negan!!)
• All Real Housewives
• Barnhouse Builders
• Stonehouse Revival
• Law & Order
• The First 48

I am an avid crocheter. I find it calming.

I used to scrapbook but fell away from it, I do still have all my supplies. I'm new to paper crafting, I love all the possibilities.

I also love cross stitch and embroidery.
