I TRUST THE LORD AND BELIEVE THAT HE HAS GREAT THINGS IN STORE FOR ME....I DONT HAVE MANY FRIENDS MAINLY JUST BECAUSE IVE SPENT ALL MY TIME AT HOME WITH MY KIDS...SO MY PENPALS ARE A BIG SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR ME AND MY SWAPPING GROUPS ARE A GREAT SOURCE OF ENJOYMENT..I ALSO LOVE TO READ AND BOOKS ARE A GREAT PASSION OF MINE..I ALSO WRITE SHORT STORIES,,OR RATHER IVE STARTED SEVERAL BUT SADLY NEVER FINISHED ANY OF THEM..I ALSO WRITE SOME POETRY,,,,WRITING IS ANOTHER SOURCE OF ENJOYMENT AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ME....IM PRETTY NEW TO CREATING THE FB'S AND CRAMS ETC.....BUT IVE HAD SEVERAL PENPALS REQUEST THEM FROM ME SO IVE RECENTLY STARTED MAKING THEM AND SENDING.....I HAVE TO ADMIT IM NOT VERY CREATIVE I WOULD LOVE A HANDMADE AFGHAN BUT WOULDNT HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE TO START,,ONCE UPON A TIME MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD KNIT DOLL CLOTHES AND SWEATERS FOR ME,,,I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT FOR MY DAUGHTER BUT AGAIN,,,,NO IDEA WHERE TO START...SO GETTING ANYTHING HANDMADE FROM ME IS PRETTY MUCH OUT OF THE QUESTION...SORRY...ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO I UNDERWENT GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY AND HAVE LOST ABOUT 180 POUNDS. BUT I STILL HAVE MY WEAK MOMENTS SO CANDY AND SUCH WONT BE WASTED ON ME, ESPECIALLY NOT WITH MY KIDS AROUND.

Im working hard to get my rating up and hoping to meet new friends on swap bot. it would be absolutely awesome to meet some people in my area for girls night out or girls day in for that matter..lol...I recently found out my husband has fallen back into his old habits again, but i just keep praying and trusting that somethings going to happen. New items on my wish list, a cd of old 80's music, address labels, stickers and brightly colored scarves.
