First this profile is a WIP (work in progress) and I am adding more all the time.

When Im not doing my Overnight Job (full time baker) You can find me, knitting, reading on the computer, stamping or any other multitude of project I decided was a good thing to start while I had 9 others going at the same time. (Anyone else have that problem?) I'm a certified geek and my vacations normally find me hanging out with the same

I'm an aunt of a 18 y/o special needs girl (both physical and mental) and a 3 y/o boy. Both I spoil way too much.

I love meeting new people (a few of my friends I have meet through swaps) and want to share ideas, items, of even a card with you.

Favorite Crafts ... things I craft? I knit (and have a yarn hoarding problem.) Cross stitch. Stamp/scrap booking/paper-crafts. Learning to crochet (got easy patterns?) And all-a-round making things...out of things.

I love to read and write, and I'm trying to get back into Journal-ing

I also bake, which sounds like a tagged on line, but its my job so I feel it less like a craft most days, and more like a job. (Which it is, cause I said it like 10 words ago!) You don't get to have creative freedom when you are baking breads and pastries for other people. BUT when I do get in the kitchen for me, I like to play around and have a little fun. I love cooking and am constantly collecting old family recipes. Either from my family or yours!

Butterflies

Owls

Dragonflies

Fairies

Huskies (have 2)

The color green (all shades but the avocado type)

Also love purples, blacks, sliver, and blues.

Books and book stuff (bookmarks, tags, etc)

Rubber Stamps

Things to use in card/scrapbooking/jounaling - this is so vast, I once cut out rainbow flowers in an ad and using it to make stickers for my journal.

YARNS

Halloween is my favorite holiday followed by Christmas Time/Yule

Coffee (own a keurig and the refill filters) and then tea (all kinds).

Teacups

I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter (Slytherin House), Batman, Doctor Who, Marvel, Stranger Things.

I would say this is the most read area in a profile, and will try to keep it up to date as I learn more about swapping.

NOTHING WITH PECANS OR WALNUTS - so far they are the 2 nuts I can't eat,

Same with fish/shellfish and pork, but I don't think I'll get them in the mail. But listing it here for recipe swaps.

Sodas

"sugar free" items - the sweetener in most of them I can't take.

White Chocolate.

The color orange as the dominate color in the project.

Oh music! How could I live without you! Your existence is like air to me. I have it playing all the time.

I'm more of a song haorder cause I like the song, than a "I love X band" or "X type of music." And, it really has been pissing me off that all the music stations here are moving to country (we have like 5 or 6 now), or some form of talk radio.

I love hearing anything, and covers of everything too. I have a soft spot for "story songs" and for some reason can listen to "House of the Rising Sun" of repeat.

As for music I don't like, its mostly personal tastes. I'll have to listen to put a rating on it.

My all time favorite books is the complete Harry Potter series and CS Lewis The Chronicles of Narnia.

I love fantasy, some sci fi, mystery, historical, LGBT+ and romances that have more of a plot than rich man tries to bed someone. I have been a reader as long as I can remember, and can finish a book in hours.

I read a lot of ARCs advance reader copies that I get from publishing houses, in exchange for honest reviews.
