PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE HAD SOME DEALINE ISSUES THIS MONTH DUE TO AN UNEXPECTED OUT OF TOWN TRIP. I PACKED; STAMPED; AND THOUGHT I MAILED THE PACKAGES. MY NEIGHBOR PICKED ALL MY MAIL UP THE DAY AFTER I LEFT THINKING THE MAIL HAD ALREADY RUN. SHE KNOWS I SWAP AND DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT THE PACKAGES, AND LEFT THEM FOR ME TO OPEN WHEN I GOT HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME AND DISCOVERED THE MISTAKE I DROPPED THEM OFF IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BLUE BOX, ONLY TO DISCOVER THE BOX IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE AS OF JULY 1ST. THE BOX HAS BEEN VANDALIZED AND I'M SURE MY PACKAGES ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE VANDLES. I WILL BE RESENDING ALL PACKAGES OUT FRIDAY FROM THE POST OFFICE WITH TRACKING NUMBERS. THANK YOU WONDERFUL SWAP PARTNERS FOR YOUR PATENICE WHILE MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

Hi My name is Vickie. I am married and the parent (mother) of 7 children. My husband (DalsDav) and I have a blended family. We are both on our second marriage. He brought in 5 and I brought in 1 and together we have 1. Currently only 2 (Faith-14 and Hope-10) of them live with us because the others are either grown or live with their other parent.

I currently have a passion to work with yarn, crochet mostly, but I have taught myself to knit. The colors of yarn I like depend on the project. lately most of my afghans have been navy, black and grey. But I am open to any color you want to share with me. I just finished a Tardis (Dr. Who) graphgan for my daughter. My granddaughter received her Tardis blanket for her birthday back in March. Next on the hooks are 2 temperature blankets for my girls, finishing up a blanket for the hubby and then I will be starting a game of thrones blanket for my grandson.

I enjoy photography but not really into scrapbooking (used to be but have gotten away from it due to time factors).

But I am crafty in almost all the things that I touch. :) Except I can not draw, not even a straight line with a ruler! LOL.

Space is limited so I tend not to get stuck on any one craft that takes a lot of supplies so instead I have many small projects happening at once.

• Anything Dolphins (the animal not the team)

*Mermaids

• Sharks I like Sharks! :)

• Anything Blue or Green especially the blues and teals of the ocean

• Black you can't go wrong with Black :)

• the Beach

• my camera

• I like Tea but truth be told I do not know much about Tea other than the store brand you use to make sweet tea with. :)

• Turtles are cool too.

• teddy bears

• Tinkerbell
  

• Fairies/Pixies
  
  

• Lighthouses
  

• Seashells and ALL things Nautical

I really don't have things that I don't like other rap music, and NO Betty Boop!!
Not a planner person, I really don't use stickers of that sort, BUT I will not rate down because you wanted to share your stickers with me! :) We are here to have fun and share with others and I believe that if a person sent/gifts me something than they wanted to share that item with me and the thought counts a lot in my book!

Me - Cat hair and seafood.
Husband - Beef and tomatoes!

**Pictures of cats are ok but if some one has a cat in their home please be kind and remove any cat hair. :) Thanks a bunch!

Side note - if you have a CAT and it likes to snuggle with any yarn items that you make for me please don't worry, just let me know and I can wash it before I store or use it (as long as you use washable yarn) ;)

ADDED 12-30-14 This seems to be an important topic, one that shouldn't have to be addressed but I have seen many profiles that address this so here's my 2cents worth on ratings. As a new swapper I joined this community to meet new people and have a little love in my mailbox. I have a friend who is here and she has nothing bad to say about this community and when I asked her about how to get a pen pal she referred me here. I understand that this community does it's best to weed out the bad apples so I will do my part as well. Please rate me if you have received my swap - I am currently only swapping small things such as letter and notecards until I understand the process a little better.
I WILL ALWAYS RATE MY PATNER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE because I want the same respect. Thank you for reading my rant. :)

Here is a quick note on sent items. All mail that is not a package will be sent from my office as the mail is pretty spot on there (my house not so much) so when I click sent it means that I have placed the stamp(s) on the envelope an placed it with the outgoing mail from my office. If this happens to be on a Sat than the post mark will be the following Monday (unless that Monday is a holiday) and Packages that require more postage will be marked sent after I have taken it to the postoffice and paid for shipping unless I know that I will not be around my computer to mark send later than I will mark sent before I go to the post office. If I have an issue I will let my partner know.

ok so I see lots of profile...I feel kinda funny asking for things but I understand that it helps my partners put together packages.
I am only crafting with crochet or knit (still learning) so my wishlist isn't a long one.
* pens - I like to write in black but any color you want to share is awesome! :)

* stitch markers

• anything to do with crocheting
• washi tape - for the seasons by this I mean hearts for Valentines Day (Feb); eggs for Easter(April); snowflakes for winter; clovers for St. Patrick's Day (March); sun in the fun for the summer months or anything you would like to share with me.
• cute paper clips
  *address labels

Hope this helps.

I really hate to call people out but it seems to be a big deal. I am a newbie and by no means want to step on any toes.
