~~~~~~(9-25-09)OK SO I DOUBT ANYTHING TO CRAZY WILL HAPPEN BUT JUST IN CASE..... there is about a dozen stirring major issues going on in my family right now, and my husband's family, and between the two of us, so if any of them happen to explode and need my full attention i'm just letting everyone know what the deal is if i drop off the site unexpectedly, but like i said, i doubt anything will happen...~~~~~~HELLO EVERYONE I'm a little bit late on rating a few swaps! i got a whole bunch at once and it was a little bit overwhelming along with everything else in life, but i'm home all weekend so i promise to get it all sorted out then!!!~~~~~~~ it's getting to be the busy time at my job soon, so i'm not going to be able to join too many crafty type swaps in the next few months, i just won't have enough time.... just letting everyone know! i still love making things, i'll just be working a lot!~~~~~~~~ i just changed my address, but if you are sending something to the old one, it makes no difference, they both will work just fine~~~~~~Ok well... i live in south florida, i've lived in the same town my entire life and i love it here. i used to want to move, to just get out of here, but every time the opportunity came to leave, i stayed and now i'm incredibly happy. i definitly feel like i live in paradise. i'm 26 years old and married to an amazing guy, we have a great relationship and i know people say that a lot, but we really do, i feel so lucky. we have been married for about 2 years, but together for seven and a half............... we love to travel.............. though we haven't been too far, we have tons of fun. we have a great kitten named fluff, we were told she was a boy when we found her and the people nearby had always called her fluffy, we thought that was a girl's name though and changed it to fluff, but she really is a girl and fluff fits great! See my likes and dislike for important info on her though..............for a living i manage a chocolate shoppe and i love that too, i went to school for massage therapy but that didn't stick. umm i'm really not as over joyed and lovey as all this, i'm just pretty much happy right now, the only thing wanting is a bigger living space, we live in a small two room apartment next to my parent's house, and when i say two room, i mean just that, not two bedrooms, just two rooms and a bathroom! it is cozy though.

i love almost all kinds of music.............. but mainly rock and some country............... i grew up on country so that may just be by default. some groups i like are shooter jennings and the .357s, collective soul, incubus, disturbed, christina aguilera, avril lavigne, cold play, miranda lambert, jane's addiction, savage garden, all kinds of stuff i guess............. i really enjoyed the 90's for music.............i just really like it all!

i love to read............ i have a habit of re reading my favorite books a lot, it drives my husband crazy, i mostly like............ classics and love stories............ i like anything by jane austen........... most of nicholas sparks............. the twilight saga (but not the movie)............... friday night knitting club............ i enjoy books with a lot of characters and i want them to have some humor.................. i like books with pretty covers also................. i want them to be fun to look at, sometimes i'll buy a book just based on what it looks like......... i enjoy having multiple copies of the same book too, so i can lend them out, and read the diff intros and reviews

i never used to watch much tv at all, but since i got dvr, i love it. i like friends, which i never watched when it was on, i wasn't allowed, i also like big bang theory, two and a half men, how i met your mother, greek, america's next top model, i just started watching survivor last year and love it, gossip girl and 90210 but i haven't seen them lately, i like the food network also.

...i love to crochet........... i also knit,..........but not as well, i enjoy crafts in general but i don't have a lot of space, my mom has a crafting room though so i can use it when i want, it used to be my bedroom.......... i'm intersted in quilting........... my grandmother is ready to teach me as soon i'm ready UPDATE! i'm beginning to collect fabric for two different quilts, one with an oriental theme and one for my cat which would be anything girly, beacuse she's a girl! but not really cat stuff, unless it's like pictures of cats............ i really think i would like scrapbooking............. i've made a few pages and love to look at that section when i'm in the craft store, which i go to very often, but i'm very detail oriented and i think it might drive me crazy!.............. i also love to tie-dye and do it at least once or twice a year, all our sheets are tie-dyed and some towels........ and i guess now i love making dotee dolls also

i love to play games, any sort............ i really enjoy geocaching, umm it's sort of like hiking, but with a treasure hunting aspect and there is trading involved! i love history and geography................ i like to learn about people............... not just generic things, but day to day stuff, like what do you do when you get home, what do you like to do on your day off, what do you talk about and to who, and not just about specific people i like to learn about cultures, i watch a lot of documentaries................ i collect cookie cutters.......... i love to eat and to cook............... but my kitchen is very small and so i don't do it that often, however i know that's no excuse............... i collect sea glass......., i love it, my whole extended family is involved, we have conversations about it at family dinners and everything. i will literally drive miles up and down the coast looking for a good spot to search

ummm.... i like a lot of stuff...... i enjoy anything creative........... pretty things............ unbelievably ugly things.............. color, in almost any form, lots of them at once, or a lot of just one................. i put a lot of thought into everything and i like seeing that in other people................. i like oriental patterns, especially with waves, and block print patterns................ and anything that looks like it could have been around hundreds of years ago,from any culture................ excessive punctuation, obviously ; ) ............... i love obnoxious stuff and off the wall things, i once sent a "greetings from florida" post card to my job, in florida, from a vacation in the florida keys, i loved how that didn't make any sense................ i like things to not make sense.............. i like flowers!!! orange or purple roses are great.............. and nature............. and the beach!!................ i like yarn, soft yarn though, nothing itchy, unless i can felt it, i'd like to felt stuff................ and patterns, any kind, however you interpret that, i like it!............. i love old dishes............... my favorite colors are... greens... and purples... and oranges, in that order................ i like stuff i can use or maybe display on the wall, i'm trying to cure myself of clutter!!! .................... scrapbooking stuff, even though i don't do it yet............... hard candy and potato chips, mmm................ oh! and bible verses, not the words though i really like to look them up myself...........

....i do not like primary colors, but if you do that's great and i'll love it with you!...................... or pictures of random dogs and cats, it's one thing if they belong to someone i could know, but not if they are just catalogy......................... and vanilla scented stuff gives me a headache.............. i work around chocolate, so it doesn't do much for me, unless it's from a cool local chocolate shoppe!........ i don't like stuff with angels or crosses, i am definitly a christian, but i don't enjoy the symbols, my sister likes angels though, really i guess as long as it's not the main focus................ also i should mention that even though i have an amazing cat, that i love soo much, please don't send any cat toys, she has an issue with trying to actually eat everything, literally everything, so i have to be very careful about what she has access to, those little plastic balls with bells inside seem to be ok so far though! ...................

i'm really open to anything, i just like stuff!!! and i always love things that someone else loves too, so anything is great! ......just make it, or buy it, or find it, and send it, i'll appreciate it!

i have always had collections, ever since i can remember i've loved stuff (that's why i'm on a no clutter crudsade right now!! i have a ton of stuff, and a tiny apartment, and only one storage unit and only 2 attics and only one corner of a garage to keep all my stuff, lol) (but all of these things have a specified spot or spots in my life) anyway i collect............... cookie cutters............... piggy banks, well just banks really, they aren't all pigs................ pink elephant stuff.......................... bags, i like to bring my stuff out with me............... yarn!!............. cool magnets....................... vases............. and blankets

hi, ok so, i've decided to add this section to let everyone know a few things....... sooo, here goes..... first i update and change around my profile a lot so don't think you are going crazy if you read one thing today and tomorrow cannot find it : ) sorry about that................... also i reuse almost all my mailing supplies from work, in fact pretty much the only thing i buy is white envelopes, everything else has been used at least once before, well except maybe for some ziploc bags.............. if you happen to get a package from me with flat pieces of foam they were probably used in chocolate boxes, smell them! additionally if you are very allergic to chocolate, let me know so i don't use them, but i think most chocolate allergies have to do with actually eating chocolate......................... ummm i usually wait til the last couple of days to mail stuff out, so don't sweat, i'll get it, i just procrastinate a little bit, also if it's something hand made i've probably fallen in love with it and want to give it time to "grow up" before i send it out to it's new home.......................... that being said if you don't get your swap from me, please let me know, i enjoy sending things out a little more than receiving them so i definitely would have sent it and have no problem whatsoever resending it, even express mail if i have to!..................... also if you don't rate me within a couple weeks i will probably send to you a message to check up and see if you received the package.................. i have a cat!!! she has super long hair and thinks everything is her's, i try to keep her away from everything and do most crafts at my mom's house, but if you happen to get a cat hair i am really very sorry, and like i said they are super long, like you might think they are mine if i were to have short hair any way most are a full 3 inches or more.................................. oh! right it's going to be CHRISTMAS soon!!! i feel like i should just let anyone know that i don't really enjoy like bright red and green items, i can totally give them to my mom though if you happen to send them, but i'm allergic to real trees and have a white artificial one with a lavender and blue star with white feathers on it, and i don't do to much other decorating, i do however really like deep greens and reds though and of course anything glittery............. i think that's about it! sorry i went on and on soooo much!
