About Me

I am very new to swap-bot, so please let me know if I should fill this out more, or differently!

I am a single Christian mother of a 6 year old girl, and a 5 year old boy, and have always been a crafter. I knit, crochet, cross-stitch, scrapbook, and I am just starting to jump headlong into quilting, trying to build a fabric stash. I am also an avid reader, and amateur coin collector.

I have participated in a few crafty swaps before, mostly ATCs and altered paperclips and notebooks. I am so excited to get into the swap-bot world, and GET SWAPPING!

I love tea! I definitely prefer fruity herbal teas the most, but I am more than willing to try anything! I also love coffee and hot cocoa.

I am definitely a choco-holic, and I would love to try chocolate and other candies from other countries especially. I am not a huge fan of nuts, but will eat it anyway lol. I prefer dark chocolate, but definitely like milk chocolate too. I love caramel (especially salted caramel), and salted caramel with dark chocolate is a dream come true. I also love fruity candies. I prefer hard candies to chewy or gummy ones, but again, I'll eat it anyway lol.

Favorite Music

I LOVE country music (mostly modern), but I also listen to pop, hip-hop, and music from movies and musicals.

Favorite Books

I have always loved to read, and I will read just about anything. Most recently, I've been reading a lot of Young Adult fantasy (think Twilight, Harry Potter, Hunger Games). I also like mysteries, crime dramas, and more "adult" books :)

Favorite Movies

My favorite types of movies are definitely romantic comedies, but I also really like chick-flicks, old-timey classics, and musicals. Also, I'm a mom of young'ns so I am a sucker for Disney movies.

Favorite Television

I watch a little bit of everything on TV: Vampire Diaries, NCIS, Big Bang Theory, Doctor Who, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones... etc.

Favorite Crafts

I knit, crochet, cross-stitch, scrapbook, and I am just starting to jump headlong into quilting, trying to build a fabric stash. I have always been drawn to bright colors and more modern, geometric patterns, but I also make things for kids a lot. I am not opposed to country-chic, I just need someone to convince me lol!

Other Favorites

Color: PINK!

Scent: Fruity (Watermelon, Lemon..) and Bakery (Coffee, Caramel..)

Animal: Cheetah

Insect: Butterfly

Vegetable: Brussels Sprouts

Fruit: Watermelon

Food: Lobster (or cheese!)

Drink: fountain Diet Coke, coffee, and fruity herbal teas

Place: Beach (especially Cape Cod)

Comment: Nothing received (nor did you ever send me a tag from back in November or respond to my PMs about it, though they show that you read them) and it looks like you have left the site. @EmilyT was supposed to send to you, but it became obvious early on that you were not sending out swaps, so she sent your item to me instead to angel the swap.

Comment: Thank you very much for you wonderful card with the great stickers and the pretty notecard. I love owls. Sorry for rating so late, I was not well even had to spend five days in hospital. Not the best start into a new year.

Comment: I also never got anything. I just checked out your page to send you a message asking what happened... but it looks like you just didn't send anything to anyone? Really nice. I'm glad I, as the host of my swap, was partnered with you so no one in my swap had to have the misfortune of being partnered with you. :-/

Comment: WOW - hope your Holidays were merry and bright with all the freebies you received from swaps. So do you tell your friends and relatives that their gifts were basically stolen or do they think you are a wonderful human being? Maybe you just had a merry little Christmas yourself. The hostess was gracious enough to angel this swap for you.

this is so sad, so many people join swapbot during the Holidays to take advantage of good people.
laurieburkett17 on Jan 6, 2015:

Looks like this isn't the first time she has flaked on the internet. Her cafemom profile has messages on it as well from 2009 on swaps she flaked on.

toothteri on Jan 2, 2015:

I hope you liked the large envie of Christmas ribbons that you received from me for the Quick-mas ribbon swap. I would love to be rated for this.

Hate to see this go on. Hope you are not sick or having problems. If so please let us know what is wrong you were doing so well.
EmilyT on Dec 24, 2014:

You have 15 late swaps. The earliest was due to be sent Dec 8th. You may not join any more cross-stitch group swaps until this is taken care of. Make sure to send Maritime#2 out by Jan 10, 2015.

Can you please rate the swap I sent for Secret Santa Rainbow R8: Pink? The tracking says it should have arrived many days ago. Thanks.
