First and most importantly...I do not flake on swaps. If I am going to be late, I will let you know. If you don't receive your swap items from me...please PM me and let me know before you rate a 1.

Hi! My name is Kim! I am recently retired and looking forward to crafting my life away! I am married to a wonderful man. We love to travel to different places and just generally have fun. I have a beautiful daughter who is a Surgical Tech. She just got married (10-15-16) They are the loves of my life. Together my husband and I have an adorable apricot poodle named CiCi. CiCi loves to travel with us. My husband and CiCi and I live in rural East Texas and there is nothing like small town living!

I love all kinds of music. I'm not particularly fond of the current country music. If it's gonna be country, it needs to be twangy!

I love mysteries. My current fav authors are Lisa Gardner and Nancy Bush

Criminal Minds, Law & Order (all of them), CSI, CSI-Miami, Snapped, Bones, The first 48...anything to do with crime mysteries. My husband thinks I'm obsessed with death but, it's solving the puzzle that intrigues me!

I have been scrapbooking since Junior High School but have only gotten into it seriously in the last few years. I have dabbled in ceramics, tole painting and anything crafty. I have started making scrabble tile necklaces too.

I've just started quilting in the last three years. I love it! We are building a "studio" for all my crafting. I hope to be in by 02-17.

I have been making jewelry for about 8 years. I love the idea of making my own pieces to match my wardrobe.

I love colorful stuff, travel stickers, fun stickers, Cinderella, princess stuff, cinnamon anything, silver, bronze, gun metal gray, markers, earth tones, gem tones, gel pens, rubber and clear stamps of all sorts, anything to do with scrapbooking, quilting, or beading. A good mystery, flowers, yarn, felt, fat quarters, fabrics. Univ of Texas Longhorns! Texas Rangers and anything baseball! Poodles. Crazy cats! Used stamps, postcards, kites, hamburgers, summer, flip flops, hummingbirds.

Gold, snakes, bugs...anything crawly. Vampires - they just creep me out! Licorice. Coconut of any shape or form. Blue coconut snow cones, flake coconut and tanning oil. I only tolerate pools & the beach because I'm part fish.

I participated in a Christmas recipe on a postie swap with five partners in 2008. Four of the five rated. The fifth rated a 1 without first contacting me. I told her I would send another and I sent that one in January 2009. No response or change. I contacted her in February and she said "I'll check" That's all I ever heard of that...I just accepted it.
