About Me

NOTE: I have been absent from Swap-Bot for awhile, But I'm officially back! I am DILEGENT about sending swaps on time, so if for some reason you don't get your swap - please let me know ASAP so I can fix that/re-send. You can e-mail me at annefayealexander@gmail.com

Hi, I'm Anne, and I love Swap-Bot, Postcrossing and Penpalling. I'm a wife, mom of 3, happy homemaker and writer (non-fiction for literary journals)

I love reading, writing and receiving letters, reading, penpalling, journaling, Postcrossing, cooking - especially ethnic foods, listening to music, and birdwatching. I've turned our backyard into a bird oasis; it's such fun to sit on my back patio in the mornings, drinking my coffee and watching their antics!

I'm NUTS about crows - I collect figurines, art, pictures, etc. :)

.

Favorite Music

Soft and hard rock hits from the 70s and 80s; R&B and Motown classics, global fusion style sometimes, especially Middle Eastern, and classical music (besides Bach, his stuff gets on my nerves lol) are my favorites.

Favorite Books

I love both non-fiction and fiction. Biography, history, books about animal behavior, books about other cultures, and as for fiction: mostly horror.

Favorite Movies

I love movies! Too many to count! It would be impossible to try to list them here. I'd probably say my favorite of all time is "Gladiator" if I were pressed!

Favorite Television

My husband and I love to chill on the couch together watching True Crime channels at night.

Oh and I have to confess: I am obsessed with the Hallmark Christmas movies. I don't care if they are corny, that's probably why I love them so much!

Favorite Crafts

I sure wish I was "crafty" but that is sadly not a talent I have. I channel my creativity through writing my pen pals.

Oh, I do love to make wreaths, I've done several, they're so easy, just need a plain one, a glue gun and stuff to glue on it, viola!

Loves & Miscellany

What follows is NOT a "gimme list" as I'm excited as a kid to get ANYthing in the mail, trust me. I'm easy to please : )

~stickers! Can't get enough of 'em!

~bookmarks

~refrigerator magnets

~ALL things related to letter writing: stationery and note sets, miscellaneous ephemera, etc.

~deco tape/washi tape - love, love, LOVE!

-blank postcards

~Holiday themed anything - I'm nuts about holidays (all of them, especially Christmas and Halloween!

-tea

Comment: Thank you for the letter, card and recipe. We have displayed our swaps for the holidays and this was a great addition. Halloween is my favorite holiday so we love to go all out with decorating and keep many decorations up to mix with Yule/Christmas.

Would you email me your address? I keep losing it! jamielovesweeping@gmail.com Yes, I'll write soon.

takehimaway on Sep 4, 2013:

I don't remember how to post a picture, but wanted to show you I wore the awesome socks you got me skating on my birthday! Harmony, who is now called Serenity, has been wearing them lately.... LONGER LETTER LATER.. LOL.

I'm home -- for now; no need to swap addresses -- was gonna go up to Harmony's mom's.. [Can you keep up with all the crazy ladies in my life?! LOL] So much to tell you. Am sick-ish; pain meds make me nauseous. Got your package today; thank you so much! Gummy bears are my favourite!
takehimaway on Aug 19, 2013:

Yes, this week, and next week, but not the following month. I'll hopefully be gone from 9-5 to 10-5!

takehimaway on Aug 19, 2013:

Would you be interested in joining my 100 Hearts and Birthday Swap! I turn twenty-four in just a few days, and was hoping you might be willing to join my first swap that's bigger than just one sheet to two peeps. ;p Thanks so much for considering!

AFTER OUR /NEXT/ ROUND OF LETTERS, I'm gonna have a DIFFERENT ADDRESS to send THE NEXT TWO rounds to. However, unsure how I'm gonna write to you -- due to not having a printer, long story -- will explain in next letter.. Welcome to the crazy life of Dane!
takehimaway on Aug 16, 2013:

Now, you tell me that that isn't the best granola bar you've ever had. I ate fourteen of them in one day last week. NEVER eat fourteen granola bars in one day. EVER. Good call; listen to Aces Up! I'm gonna put them on whilst I clean/organize. Ughh. Sounds fantastic.
takehimaway on Aug 16, 2013:

Anne! I'm so glad you loved it! I really want a Texas Magnet if you can find one! Hope you are feeling well today! Take time if you need it! I will still be here! I worried about one part of my letter being a little risque, but we're all grownups! ;p Hope you have a fantastic day; eat that granola bar; it's delicious!! ♥
