melodious

Hey! My name is Melody and I'm a Mom of five awesome kids

I have been MIA for quite a while but hoping to get back in to Swap-bot again!

I'm an aspiring writer with a horrible case of writer's block & writer's fear.

I have to admit, I've been very overwhelmed by swap-bot, there is so much I want to join in on, but my lack of craftiness has held me back.

I really am very easy to please, I just love getting a little postcard or a little package in the mail. Knowing that someone took the time and effort to send out something to me is more important than what they send :)

I am a huge movie addict.

I have eclectic taste when it comes to music. I love all genres of music from Country to Heavy Metal. I think the only music I'm not a fan of is Opera, Classical & Rap.

I love the colours purple, blue, pink & black.

I collect Teddy Bears, Fairies, giraffes & Anne Geddes.

I like dark clothing and goth wear.

I keep my hair dyed dark colours, blacks, dark browns and even some purples.

I like silver & white gold and always wear a simple silver band & a heart necklace.

I have my eyebrow, ears & belly button pierced.

I used to have penpals all over the world and miss writing letters daily.

I have stacks of books around my house that I intend to read when the house is quiet once again.

I love stuffed animals and dolls of any kind. Anything cuddly, cute or squishy makes me smile.

I've recently rediscovered my love of matryoshka dolls, thanks to being on Swap-bot. I've always admired the dolls and wished I could collect them. My Fiance gave me my first set of dolls with a note inside asking me to marry him.

I love writing and can never have enough pens, pencils, markers, sharpies, erasers and paper.

I'm learning how to make Stuffies and really want to see my creativity flow that way. I have a gazillion cute ideas in my head, just need the know-how to see them come to life.

I love to bake. I collect recipes to try out and adjust. Anything to do with baking makes me squeal, from the smallest wooden spoon to the largest cake pan. I make killer truffles if I do say so myself.

I'm very interested in learning how to make make beaded & wire jewelery. I would love to learn how to make tiaras, circlets and crowns for weddings etc. I'm going to start self learning in the next couple of months and see if I'm any good at it :)

I want to try my hand at ATC's, Matchboxes and other paper crafts. I'm slowly trying to build up supplies to be able to explore some more craftiness.

As I said in the beginning of my profile, I'm really not hard to please, I just love recieving thoughtful gifts.

• Papercraft supplies, pens, markers, stickers, cardstock, collage papers, etc etc etc. I'm still building a supply for creating ATC's, matchboxes, and other paper crafts.

• Felties & stuffies, I just love seeing what others create!

• Felties & stuffies supplies, felts, wool felts, and embellishments to create them with.

• Craft paints & Glitter Paints for ATC's, notecards, matchboxes etc.

• Anything with Viggo Mortensen on it.

• Anything to do with Matryoshka dolls.

• Candy or chocolate, especially milk chocolate. I don't like dark chocolate though.

Lucas is 19, he's a sarcastic, funny guy. He's got a big heart and loves to share hugs with everyone.

He's completely in to gaming, all gaming, anything that has to do with gaming.

He loves to read especially books about Vikings, Medieval type books.

He is a huge metal head and loves obscure bands.

Leah is 17, she's my whirlwind. She's kept me on my toes for 17 years and I imagine she will do so for the next 17 more.

She loves anything crafty, colouring, painting, knitting (just learning), and just about anything creative.

She is completely obsessed with Anime and spends a great deal of her time cosplaying.

Mark is 10years old. He is my total momma's boy. He's shy, silly and a daydreamer.

He is also a gamer who loves Mincraft, Roblox and Little Big Planet.

He loves to play with his lego and create places he imagines inside his head..

Madelyn is also 10 years old, as Mark & Madelyn are twins. :) She is my girly-girl. She is a total Princess and knows it. She is 10 going on 25. It's scary and intriguing to watch her become a little woman.

She is a complete fashionista who loves to create amazing outfits, accessorize and add an awesome hairstyle to complement.

Even though she is growing up too fast, she still loves to play with her dolls and lego. She adores her dolls and carries one around constantly.

All of my children love candies & chocolate, and as much as I try to limit it, they do get some. :)
