I love crafting! My main focus is on scrapbooking and cardmaking. I also like to sew, quilt and try new types of crafts.

I am a very orderly person, I prefer organized, matched, uniform type crafts. Although sometimes I do like to do the more random items.

I have been scrapbooking for almost 15 years now and enjoy trying and learning new things. I have a Cricut which I love. I also love stickles, and rub-ons. K & Company is my fav. brand.

I am first and foremost a born again Christian. I love worshiping, serving, and walking with my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am a wife of almost seven years to a wonderful husband. His work ethic and love allow me to be a stay at home mommy to our two year old son, Matthew. I love my two guys very much! I also have two puppies- a chihuahua, Fenway, and a dachsund, Strudel.

I love being a homemaker, although it is a very tireing job. I enjoy cooking, participating in church activites and playgroups, hanging out with my crafting friends, and obviously crafting. I also enjoy participating in swaps.

I try to ALWAYS send out my swaps on time. I will rate, and in return, I would appreciate ratings (esp. until I get several swaps under my belt.

Reading is another passion of mine, although I am not the typical book lover. I can go weeks without reading but then go through a period of time where reading is a huge priority. If I like a book after its first few chapters, I read it nonstop until I am done. If I don't like it, I can't finish it.

My favorite fictional writer is Francine Rivers. I love all types of writers from Grisham to Stephen King to Jane Austin. Depending on my mood will determine what type of book I seek out.
