Hi my name a Crystal I am 28 years old and a mother to 2 beautiful baby girls who are 2 and 4 years old a step-mommy to another beautiful 2 year old girl as well. I started doing scrapbooking and making cards in April of this year 2009 with help from my grandmother-in-law who is a pro. I heard about all the great swaps that she was in and I am very eager to get into one myself. so I went online and googled swap craft items and swap-bot appeared on the list I checked it out and decided to join. I have alot of spare time on my hands since i'm a stay at home mom and get very easily bored. My husband suggested that I get involved with something that I have an interest in since he seen how bored and lonely I was. So I decided to start swapping and next thing you know I became addicted to it lol. I consider myself to be a very reliable person and always finish what I start. I am the type of person who can get any task accomplished if I put my mind to it. I would really like to get a chance to show others how creative I could be as well as pick up some tips from other creative people here. I am hopeful that I make plenty of new friends and get the chance to swap ideas and techniques. I also will be fair in my rating on the swaps I join. One more thing if I am your partner in a swap and you do not receive anything from me let me know before you rate so that I can send whatever it is back to you again. I really doubt that I would not send it because I am a bit OCD about making sure that everyone gets their packages. Since there is problems with the mail sometimes I just wanted to note that so that I do not get a reputation as a flake.

In my spare time I enjoy making scrapbooking layouts, also card making, artist trading cards (ATC), and Inchies even though I have only did them one time. I also enjoy drawing if though I am not that good at it but I try.

Pink, Purple, and Light Blue, Dark Blue anything really thats is blue based or if it has a hint blue.

These are some of my shows I enjoy watching. House, The Cleveland Show, Family Guy, and Flash Forward. As you can see from some of my selections I really enjoy laughing and hearing jokes and my husband plays a big part in it because he is a kid at heart and stilll enjoys watching cartoons (sometimes I think more that the girls lol).

Chinese Food, Chicken (prepared anyway), Macaroni & Cheese, Ribs, and Sea Food (especially shrimp)

Betty Boop (She's my number 1), Tinker Bell, Wall-E, and Hello Kitty

Ladybugs, Butterflies, Hearts, Flowers, Stars, and Pretty Much Anything Girly, Favorite football team Dallas Cowboys, Favorite Holiday is Christmas of course, Humorus Pictures or Jokes,

Dora the Explorer, Anything that is girly and deals with Disney, Hello Kitty, Ice Age, Crafts and Painting, and cutting paper to glue. So if you have any scrap paper that you are not planning to use my 4 year old would love to take it off your hands as she is a jr scrapbooker. Of course they also love glue sticks their both already in training to be artists and crafters just like mommy (lol).

In all my things that I like I forgot to talk about my dislikes. I don't have very many but here they are:

Anything Cinnamon, Neon colors (except pink), Cat stuff, Sour candy, Spicy food, Bloody pictures, Spiders, Late for swaps, cheap smelling perfume, anything vanilla scented, ribbon with wire in it, Mustard, anything mustard colored, Store bought Cards, and Flakers of course

I seen how some people have put a list on their profile naming the people who flaked on them so I decided to do what to me seems like a very good idea so here is my list:

Subba Rao (dreams00unlimited), Julie Stephens (sweethappychick), Skyler Lanham (DungeonMaster), crystal Neal (Mistlily), Peg McCaskey (PegMcCaskey), R n (changingsky),
