My name is Sheri, I am 44 and been married to my husband for 19 years this year. We enjoy traveling and LOVE camping! My husband is a paramedic and an ordained pastor who does prison ministry. I work out of the house sewing and crocheting as well. I sell most my items on etsy and my website. I am an avid reader and have a tbr list I will never finish! I love God and love getting Christian themed items. I also work with organizations to help feed and clothe the homeless. I LOVE to craft! I enjoy scrapbooking, sewing, crocheting, painting and woodworking. I enjoy reading and watching movies. I love to cook, recipes are always great! I collect my coke reward codes and kellogg reward codes. I also collect crosses (I have a whole wall of them) and am always looking for unique ones. I also enjoy doing puzzles. I prefer earthy colors to pastels. My home is decorated in browns and beiges (walls and curtains). I LOVE flipflops. (Size 8-8.5) I wear them as much as possible. :) I also wear a lot of tshirts mostly Christian or bookish themes (size M) My birthday is March 17 (St Patrick's Day!!) I like facial masks and lip balm but no lipstick. I also like fabric headbands.

** Just want to add that most swaps I send will have tracking on them so if you don't receive an item I sent please let me know before rating so I can track it.

I mainly read YA, cozy mystery or christian fiction books. I enjoy fantasy, dystopian and sci-fi within the YA genre. My favorite authors are Mary Higgins Clark, Lillian Jackson Braun (I have all of her books), Tricia Levenseller, Marie Lu, Bridgid Kemmerer, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, and Adrienne Young. I also like Nancy Drew books and games. You can view my amazon wishlist to see books on my want to read list.

I also collect bookmarks of any kind.

As I said earlier I love crafting.

Scrapbooking: would love to recieve stickers, punchies, diecuts, paper, glue dots, embellishments, anything scrapbook related actually. 12x12 size paper. I travel a lot so anything travel related (airplanes, road trip, cruise ship, food...) would be awesome. Also dog themes are great especially Chihuahua and camping themes and Christian themes.

Crochet: I love to crochet and am always looking for new, interesting patterns and yarns. I love handmade crochet items, especially unique dishcloths.

Sewing: I quilt and sew a lot. Patterns for accessories and clothing are great as well as fabric. I love cotton flannel fabric and cotton quilting fabric. I make blankets for the homeless so I can use scraps of fabric (at least 5"x5") not just whole yards. I like unique pattern prints but please no skulls, halloween or santa prints. Some of the fabric themes that I typically quilt with are Christian themes, dogs, camping, outdoors, black bears (kid prints), and moose(kid prints) and Christmas (just no santa fabric). I also use animal prints and bright colors or earth tones. If you are doing a fabric swap with me I would prefer a print to a solid but will love whatever you send!

ATC: I just started creating ATC's and I am loving it! Extra supplies are always good.

Painting: I love watercolor painting. Brushes, medium, cardstock are always good too.

I'm not much of a tea drinker but I love hot chocolate (any flavor but vanilla is my favorite), apple cider, single serve drink packets (the ones you add to a bottle of water), crystal light, and I have a kcup machine (but don't drink much coffee)

My favorite candy is peanut m&ms and snickers (plain and peanut butter) I love peanut butter and peanuts! I also like natural/organic dark chocolate bars and chocolate/yogurt covered raisins and peanuts.

Also, I am always on the lookout for new recipes to try. If you have a favorite that your family loves I would love to try it out. We tend to lean toward chicken dishes and pasta dishes.

My husband and I have one angel baby in heaven (I miscarried in Jan 2012 at 9wks). Since we have been unable to have children our dogs are our kids.

Allie is our 12 year old Chihuahua. She is colored like a min-pin but she is all chi. She is spoiled rotten and I love dressing her up.

Riley is our 3 year old German Shorthaired Pointer/Lab mix. She is very sweet and loves to ride in the car and snuggle.

I would enjoy receiving anything dog related especially Chihuahua related.

Please NO GLITTER - please do not send me anything with glitter on it, I am not a fan.

No earrings, my ears are allergic to most metals.

I am allergic to cat hair so if you are sending from a home with cats please make sure there isn't a lot of cat hair on the item or in the box.

I am also sensitive to cigarette smoke.

No lotion, I don't use it.

I do not like scary movies or paranormal themed items.

No Christmas ornaments please. I decorate our small tree with ornaments I purchase on each trip we take so each one has a special memory.

I listen to Christian music. Anything from Christian rap to Contemporary Worship. I also listen to some classical music. I LOVE Christmas music of ANY kind. I also like big band and swing music from the 20s, 30s and 40s (my husband thinks I'm crazy)

I watch a lot of true life tv. History channel, ID, Discovery, Food Network, Hallmark. I like crime dramas (CSI and Criminal Minds), some reality tv (survivor, amazing race, project runway) Christmas movies, and drama/dystopian/scifi shows.

I don't watch much sports except for Supercross and Drag Racing and yes we watch both live every time they come to town!

Favorite colors are blue and green. I also like mixing colors such as teal and brown/black or pink and brown/black.

I love washi tape! I like patterns, black and white, bright colors, chevron, polka dots, words, really anything except kids/cartoon!

Stickers Relating to: Travel (use a lot of these), maps, dogs, Chihuahuas (cartoony), camping (as many as I can get), hiking, trees, dirtbikes, race cars, planes, boating, jetski, words, letters, phrases, road trip, food, geocaching, Christian theme, bible verses, snoopy, stick figures, cute woodland creatures and bookish themes. I love Stickopotamus brand stickers. No Disney or Hello Kitty.

I use an 8.5x5.5 planner (Day Timer Desk Size) and would love envelopes, unique post-its, page dividers, pens, page tabs, washi tape, address labels, inspirational quotes or bible verses, charms, magnetic bookmarks, journaling cards, anything bookish themed.

I scrapbook in Smashbooks and would love anything I can use in them. Various sized envelopes would be great! I also use 12x12 size scrapbook papers (no florals).

Rubber stamps, inks. I only have a couple stamps and would love to add to my collection. Same themes as stickers or I would LOVE to have stamps I can use in my planner!
