About Me

I've been away from swap-bot for a long time due to lots of things, (job losses, gains, losses again and starting school) But I'm back ! So please don't let my absence from swapbot give you the wrong idea. I always completed my swaps even though I had lost a job and as you can see my ratings were good even through that difficult period in my life. I do not flake! if you have any questions for me or are worried a package hasn't arrived please contact me! I will re-send! PROMISE!

I'm a mom of two boys 7 and 9. I'm a full time college student and my husband and I take care of my 84 year old grandmother. I design Jewelry and love to read. I'm married to a starving artist (aren't they all?) and we do are best to make ends meet.

I am not judgmental! I understand everyone has different taste and when you get something in a swap those tastes will be reflected. So if I receive a swap that maybe contains items i wouldn't get for myself or something I don't really like, it will not affect the rating you receive. I am always open to new and interesting things! I like surprises! It's the reason I'm swapping!

Favorite Music

I love music! Faves include Radiohead, The Clash, David Bowie, Circle Jerks, The Cure, Slayer, Billie Holiday, Rolling Stones, MotorHead, Cat Stevens, Morrissey...Really I could go on and on.

Favorite Books

I love to read, but spend most of my time reading text books :-(. A few of my favorite books are,

On the Road by Jack Kerouac

The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

The Catcher in the Rye J.D. Salinger

Cannery Row John Steinbeck

All books by David Sedaris

Many more and always looking for something new to read!

Favorite Movies

My husband is going through this Silent movie phase. It drove me crazy for a while, but now they're holding my attention. They aren't just for nap time anymore!

I love

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Ghost World, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, Shawn of the Dead, Lost in Translation

It's hard to pick favorites!

Favorite Television

The Office, Nova, The Young and the Restless 30 Rock Highlander(Super Nerdy Right?) Community Curb Your Enthusiasm

Favorite Crafts

I make Jewelry. I work mostly with Sterling wire, PMC, and Semi precious stones.I love paper and fabric arts and working in clay.

Things I like!

I love surprises and trying new things! Don't be afraid to send me something different then my likes!

Funky floral stationary, bright colors. Pinks and aquas limes or black and white. Journals, Fabric, All of the above in bold prints and patterns! pretty paper in bold florals or birdie prints are wonderful. I like to make cards and love scrapping items for that.

I love lip balm and gloss in pink (Bright or pale) and sparkly caramel color.

Lotion and body spray especially if it smells like vanilla or candy or sweet pea or gardenia. My fave Victorias Secret scent is Love spell., but I love to try new scents so don't be afraid to send me your fave! (No patchouli please)

Nuts, Chocolate, licorice, coffee, tea, I'm a bit of a foodie. Olives, crackers, cheese. I will eat anything put in front of me! So no fear in the food department! pick anything! I'm getting hungry now.

Panties in a size 6 also tee-shirts medium. They can be bright and funky but I prefer they don't have any writing. Patterned tote-bags.

This is so much fun!

Kiddos

I have 2 boys! My oldest, Chad,is 9 his birthday is September 17 He likes Super Heroes Drawing Lego Goosebumps Horror Land Books Harry Potter Adventure Time (cartoon) Diary of a Wimpy Kid Books Comic Books

Hi,

I love personalizing my belongings and I also like reading. To combine both, I came up with the idea of creating a profile related bookmark swap. Please feel free too visit my Profile Related Bookmark Swap here and join. Hoping we will have a lot of fun because I intend to do a series of them. Happy swaps to all.
