JMM876

I am a stay at home mom of 2 wonderful boys. My husband is a truck driver. I love to crochet, and do crafts with my kids and for gifts. Currently I am fostering for a local shelter. So far have fostered 7 dogs. We adopted the first one and the others have both found homes! I love dogs! I have a c0ckatiel named Gemini, and some fish.

I name all my pets after either the zodiac signs or mythological Gods and Goddesses.

• I will rate a 5 if I receive something no matter if it's something I like or not, as long as it meets the requirements of the swap.

• I will give hearts for anyone who does more then what is required.

• Crocheting is my number one favorite craft.
• I am also learning to knit, tat, and enjoy working with plastic canvas.

• I like to make homemade ornaments for Christmas, and usually am working on something at every free moment in my day.

I really need to get a Cricut soon. Cutting shapes out by hand takes so long and my fingers get crampy. And buying little embellishments all the time, I probably could have paid for a Cricut by now, lol.

Does anyone have any suggestions on which Cricut is better or that you prefer or even another brand??

I want an embosser too, any suggestions?

Unfortunately, I have found the need to make a Flaker List....
