Getting back into swapping!

Hi! Married for almost 15 years now, no kids but lots of furbabies. I have a Chihuahua, Hoss. Hes my baby. A min pin named Taz, and a pittie named Bailey. Along with two kitties, Sterling and Greysome. I love to scrapbook and other paper crafts. I love trying new things and have recently gotten into the mixed media and having a lot of fun with that! Last year I picked up my new hobby - working in the garden and its been a lot of fun and I love learning all about the different flowers out there. I studied oceanography, and love anything related to the ocean. I have always lived near the ocean and couldn't imagine not being able to visit it on a daily basis. I love to travel and if funds allowed it I would travel a whole lot more. I spent a year in England and traveled to Rome and Barcelona. I am pretty sure I was meant to live in Italy!!! Wine and Pasta, who could ask for anything more

I love anything purple I think it is no coincidence that my high school colors were Purple and Silver, and my University was Purple and Gold (GO DAWGS!)

Well, I am new to this site and hope to meet some great people and participate in some fab swaps! I put forth my best effort and hope that others like it and appreciate it also. Please feel free to message me if you have any issues with my work!

I love to read! My kindle is full of books. Pretty much anything - suspense, fantasy, comedic romance, and more.

Currently reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. The current trend of princess spin books I am loving. Cinder, and others like that.

I love to be creative, I love painting. My kitchen is currently on a two year project of a underwater sea mural painted on the walls and cupboards. Oooh, almost three years now... oops. Well, its fun as it has anenomes and corals all along the walls. This fall I hope to add some fish and finish it off. My office is comprised of my favorite colors - teal and purple. I painted large flourishes and peacock feathers all around it. I love it!! But now I don't have much shelving as I hate to cover up my work. Sigh.

Likes - Crafty

• washi tape
• ribbon, twine, lace
• desperately searching for little metal pieces such as old typewriter keys, old simple keys, gears. Any sizes under 4" would be fantastic
• if it sparkles, I'll love it! Glitter, powders

I love making tags and ATC and would be happy to do one on one swaps :)
