My name is MaryAnn not Mary. I do not like to be called Mary. I am a 60 year old widow of 1 year with 1 daughter who is 26. I live in the country and have quite a few animals. I have a 3 year old goat that I raised from 1-2 days old. 2 peacocks, and 1 peahen. They are beautiful and I have raised 5 babies. I used to have a white male who someone left out and a female who died. I have 3 pigeons which were my husbands. They are rollers and in the summer I like to lay out and watch them fly and roll. I love to hear their wings whipping in the wind. I have a mini lop eared rabbit, a shi tsu dog named Cookie Ann and 2 large parrot fish. I have deer, raccons, possums, skunks and even a bear wondering threw my yard. I love plants, flowers and shrubs, birds and the outside. My favorite colors are blue and purple, animal prints, and jewelry, one of a kind. I have just started to do Iris folding and have done Christmas, Thanksgiving, a baby card, and now Valentines cards. So many neat ones to make, but they take some time to do. I am just trying out swap-bot to see if I like it, I would never Flake anyone. That is so unfair. There is still alot I need to learn about swap-bot. I crochet and do ceramics, I have my own kiln. Just wanted to let you all know I am enjoying Swap-bot with all the help from all the wonderful people I have swapped with so far.

Likes: I love anything to do with animals, birds, plants, flowers, fish, gardening, etc. MY favorite colors are blue and purple. Love any kind of Jewelry as long as it is one of a king. I love animal prints, flowers, anything colorful. Dislikes: None that I know of. It is always exciting to open a package from some one you don't know.

Hi everyone> I want to thank you all for the fun swaps these past few months. I am going to take a break from swapping so I can finally get some stuff done around my house. It really needs to be done. I have been down due to the passing of my husband and now that the weather is getting nicer I am hoping I will get some energy and get some things done around here. So don't be worried if you don't hear from me for awhile. You can email me at maryannr1742@aol.com and I will keep up with the pen pals that I do have. I want to thank all my swap partners and pen pals, you have made my days alot brighter. Hopefully, when I come back we can be swappers again. Everything I have gotten was really nice and I could tell you all put alot of effort into the swaps. There is one thing> If any of you see a Christmas Swap for Christmas ornaments please notifiy me and let me know so I can join that swap. I have heard about the one where you send out like 10 or 12 Christmas ornaments and I sure would love to join a swap like that. Again, thank you all. LOVE TO YOU ALL and Happy Swapping. Love, MaryAnn maryannr1742

Hi Everyone> I'm back!!!!! Really missed getting all those cool things in the mail. I actually have been getting some stuff done around here. But still lots to do, but I just couldn't stay away. Especially for the note and tote swaps as I have seen some really cool ones lately that I want to send out and my birthday is coming up in Sept. Still looking for an awesome Christmas swap of ornaments. Hopefully someone will host one. Just swapped some cool stuff for one of my friends from here for her sisters birthdays!!!!!!!!!! Hope they enjoy the gifts and cards. Still want to try Button Fairies or Bead Fairies. So awesome>the ones I have seen from all you creative people out there. So hopefully, I will be swapping with some of my good friends from here really soon. And looking forward to all you new ones out there. Hope this return will be as great as the first time.
