First, if you have any issues or complaints on any swap (or anything!), please contact me and give me a chance to fix it! I take pride in my swaps and my rating! My favorite crafts are scrapbooking, paper crafts, card making, journals, sewing, and overall arts and crafts stuff. I love mini-books, grocery sack pages, making embellishments, tags, pockets and envelopes; and chipboard to make my own book covers.

I am a wife, a mom to two boys, aged 20 and 18, a step mom to three others, 15, 12 and 12, and a puppy mom to two fabulous Maltese puppies, aged 3 and 2 1/2. I adore my husband, we have been together for almost seven years. We have been through a lot to have the life we have and we appreciate it every day. I recently created a Blog to share some of my creations with my siblings, family, and friends. I have two scrapbooks on my blog if you want to see some of my work. :-) Purple is my favorite color, probably because I couldn't decide between red and blue. I don't love orange as much, but I am willing to be open minded. I have my left ear pierced three times and my right twice. Probably so people will ask me why. For attention maybe?

Seven Pounds, Pretty Woman, Sommersby, Sweet November, Count of Monte Cristo.

Paper punches, rubber stamping with embossing, Kirigami, Origami Architecture, brads, grommits, vellum, scissor edges, 3D crystal lacquer, wire art, lace and ribon, charms, pockets and envelopes, torn paper, glitter, fabric paint dots, stickers, also tea bag folding and iris folding.

Stupid drivers, feeling upset, misunderstandings, and when my computer doesn't cooperate (it should do what I want, not what I tell it to do). Cleaning up glitter, which is ironic since I like glitter. I also don't like hot spicy food, or rather, it doesn't like me, my face being on fire is not fun. I don't like sunburns but I love warm and hot weather, being outside, and the beach and ocean. I don't like collecting anything because it contributes to another dislike: clutter! I don't like people who are mean, abusive, or take advantage of others. I don't like roller coasters since I hurt my back in 1995.
