PLEASE EXCUSE MY TYPING IN ALL CAPS BUT IT'S A LOT EASIER FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE ARTHRITIS IN MY FINGERS.I ASSURE YOU I'M NOT YELLING AND I DON'T MEAN TO OFFEND ANYONE. THERE IS SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO ASK OF EVERYONE THAT'S VERY,VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. I WOULD LOVE IT IF MY SWAP PARTNERS WOULD WRITE ME A LITTLE NOTE TO ADD TO THE PACKAGES THEY SEND SO I WOULD KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEM. IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO WRITE A LITTLE NOTE, CAN YOU AT LEAST WRITE ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE QUOTES FOR ME. I KEEP A JOURNAL WITH ALL MY FAVORITE QUOTES AND I'D LIKE TO PUT YOURS IN THERE TOO. THANKS. ALSO, PLEASE BE SURE TO READ MY LAST PARAGRAPH AT THE BOTTOM OF MY PROFILE. AGAIN, THANKS MUCH. NOW, ABOUT ME. MY FAVORITE MUSIC IS COUNTRY. SECOND CHOICE IS REALLY GOOD GOSPEL. FAVORITE BOOKS------ANYTHING BY DEBBIE MACOMBER,JANET EVANOVICH, V C ANDREWS OR JAMES PATTERSON----- FAVORITE MOVIES DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES AND ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. FAVORITE TV-----NOT TOO MUCH---ER AND TWO AND A HALF MEN. NO CRAFTS. I WOULD LOVE TO LEARN KNITTING. I LIVE WITH A LOVING, CONSIDERATE HUSBAND NAMED GEORGE AND A BIG BEAUTIFUL CAT NAMED CLYDE.
I'M VERY EASY TO PLEASE AS FAR AS WHAT YOU SEND BECAUSE MY LIKES AND DISLIKES ARE ALL IN MY PROFILE. I HAVE FIVE GROWN SONS SO I'M SURE YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT I'VE GOTTEN FOR GIFTS AS THEY WERE GROWING UP AND I LOVED EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS FROM THEIR HEART AS I BELIEVE IT WILL BE FROM YOURS.
THINGS I LIKE ARE QUITE SIMPLE. I HAVE ENOUGH JOURNALS NOW. I JUST LOVE PENS. I GUESS I LIKE ANYTHING IN STATIONERY BECAUSE I LOVE TO WRITE AND BE WRITTEN TO. I LIKE TWISTED WHISKERS STUFF. MISS KITTY IS COOL TOO. I'M REALLY STARTING TO ENJOY A GOOD CUP OF TEA AND I HAVE A NICE FANCY CLEAR JAR THAT I KEEP ALL MY TEABAGS IN NOW AND THE ONES IN FOIL WRAPPERS LOOK VERY PRETTY IN THERE. I LIKE ANY KIND OF TEA,SO THOSE ARE ALWAYS WELCOMED.I ALSO STARTED TO COLLECT WHAT I BELIEVE IS ONE OR TWO CUP TEAPOTS.I USE ONE EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BEDTIME TO MAKE MY FAVORITE TEA. NOW THAT I'VE TRIED A LOT OF TEAS, MY FAVORITE OF ALL IS FRUIT TEAS. I ALSO LIKE THE SMALL MUGS (LIKE A DEMI-TAS BUT IN A MUG FORM.
ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE THE BEST IS PEOPLE THAT TAKE TIME TO KNOW SOMEONE AND WILLING TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE EVEN IF THEY'RE NEW AT SOMETHING. I RETIRED RECENTLY AND I'M LOOKING FOR FUN THINGS TO DO SO I WON'T REGRET MAKING THAT DECISION AND THESE SWAPS SOUND PERFECT AND I HOPE TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY. I'M 65 AND MARRIED TO GEORGE FOR 25 YEARS,BUT WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR THIRTY-TWO YEARS.
I LIKE MUSIC,LITTLE BOOKS YOU CAN CARRY AROUND LIKE SELF HELP OR SPIRITUAL. I'M NOT A RELIGIOUS FANATIC OR ANYTHING BUT I DO TRY TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE AND HELPING PEOPLE WHEN I CAN. I ALSO LIKE ANIMALS A LOT. I ALSO HAVE A CURIOSITY TO LEARN NEW THINGS SO ANY INTERESTING YOU FIND THAT CAN BE LEARNED QUICKLY AND EASILY, I'LL BE GLAD TO TRY SO SEND IT ALONG. THANKS
I ALMOST FORGOT A VERY IMPORTANT THING. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT EVERYONE HAS TWO SPECIAL ANIMALS THAT THEY SEEM TO BE DRAWN TO AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO MEAN SOMETHING IN THEIR LIVES. MINE ARE GIRAFFES WHICH I THINK ARE QUITE ELEGANT AND PENGUINS BECAUSE THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. I THINK THERE ARE ACTUALLY NINE ANIMALS IN PEOPLE'S LIVES SO I'M READING UP ON THAT NOW.I THINK WOLVES AND DOLPHINS MAY BE IN THERE ALONG WITH OWLS.
I FORGOT TO WRITE THAT I DO NOT USE MAKE-UP, LIP BALMS, PERFUMES, LOTION AND THE LIKES. NOT TOO MUCH A GIRLY-GIRL. I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE ANYTHING FROM THE STATIONERY DEPT. AND THE CHOICES ARE UNLIMITED. I WISH AS A PRESENT THAT SOMEONE WOULD COMMUNICATE WITH ME TO TEACH ME KNITTING.
THIS PART IS AN UPDATE ON THE THINGS I LIKE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I JOINED SWAP-BOT. HANDMADE NOTECARDS ARE AWESOME.I STILL LOOOOOOOVE THE LITTLE TINY HARD COVER BOOKS. GEL METALLIC PENS, BRIGHT COLORED HI-LITERS AND FINE POINT SHARPIES,SMALL FLUFFY "TY" BEANIE ANIMALS,VOTIVE CANDLES AND HOLDERS,LINED WRITING PAPER,PAINT BY NUMBERS SETS, JIGSAW PUZZLES,LITTLE MUGS FOR MY TEA.(LIKE A DEMI-TAS, BUT IT'S A MUG) STICKY NOTES,KNITTED SLIPPERS,SILVER OR PEWTER CHARMS,FIND-A-WORD BOOKS,POSTCARDS,TWISTED WHISKERS STUFF, CUTE THINGS FOR MY DESK, GUIDED MEDITATION CD's, I LIKE REAL ANIMAL STICKERS, NOT ANIMATED ONES, ALL KINDS OF STICKERS, MY NEW FAVORITE COLOR IS A NICE BRIGHT GREEN,OR GREEN AND BLUE COMBO.
NOW FOR MY DISLIKES. I CAN'T DO ANY KIND OF CRAFTS SO NONE OF THAT STUFF PLEASE. THE END. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS EVEN THOUGH IT'S VERY LONG.
NOW THAT I'VE SAVED UP A LOT OF NICE STAMPS FROM EVERYONE'S LETTERS, I WAS WONDERING IF ALL OF YOU WOULD MIND ADDING A FEW USED STAMPS FROM YOUR COUNTRY WHEN YOU SEND ME ANYTHING AND I'LL SAVE MY USED STAMPS FOR ANYONE WHO REQUESTS THEM. THANKS
