I live in Monticello,Georgia with my husband Tom of 3 years on Sept 24th. I have two goofy cats Tractor and Georgia, and as of Sept 5th our new beagle puppy "Polka Dot". I am very easy going and love meeting people. I grew up in the military born in Virginia and have lived in some great places like Germany I have many wonderful childhood memories like the gummy truck that came around like the ice cream truck. I hope to do some swapping from there to relive some beautiful memories. I have one grown son and am awaiting grandchildren. I am a private nanny of 4 children. And love helping them learn. My husband and I ride motor cycles and love going on long rides. I love to decorate and lean toward country and primitive.I enjoy Fall it's my favorite time. I love being outside, love bonfires and looking at the leaves change.

I love to go a to estate sales.Get giddy over big craft shows.love flea markets,and antique shops. I love to read. I have a small garden and hope to learn how to make jelly. One of my most favorite things is to bake. I love cupcake themed things, I love kitchen tools and love pretty dish towels. I collect teacups and saucers, buttons, old skeleton keys, small handmade dolls and blue jean pockets. (I use for a multitude of crafts) and ribbon.I love the smell of coffee and the taste even more. I like to try new coffees. I love socks (crew/short) and toe socks too. love cats, old weebles (it's a little person toy that is shaped like an egg), love fabric, I like weird pens, and love to write with purple ink. I used to have 20 pen pals and kept up with then for years, a lot dropped off but I still have 3 and would love some from around the world. I like altered notebooks and journals. I like the smell of lavender, and gardenias. and clean babies lol. (please don't send babies thru the mail..hee hee)

I don't watch a lot of Television. But I do watch some cooking shows and DIY. On the flip side I watch Saving Grace on Monday night.

I love scrap booking and get together with friends as much as I can to scrap. I paint on wood, sew rag dolls, and card making, quilting and crocheting. But I enjoy trying and learning about new crafts. I think that learning new things is fun. I love to read through craft books and look at Country Sampler magazine for ideas. I guess my favorite thing is playing with paper. I would like to learn more about ATCs and inches..I'm new to swap-bot so I hope to do some card swaps and candy swaps.

I love all kinds of music.really like gospel and country music. I sing in a Southern Gospel trio, "New Again" and love- love meeting people when we travel to different places. we have a web site www.newagain.us.I love sharing my life with other people in so many ways. I love Patsy Cline music and would love to visit Winchester Va. where she was born.

I am a great cook and enjoy trying new dishes. I love peanut butter and almonds. As far as candy I like toffee and coffee flavored things. I like salt water taffy and filled hard candies. But I usually try to buy sugar free, but not for any health reason, just save calories where I can. I adore chocolate and like shortbread cookies. I love Orbit White bubble mint gum. I chew gum all the time. Keeps me from eating/snacking too much.

I love small prints, love purples (all shades) small checks and plaids. favorite colors are aqua, red, pink, chocolate brown, and I like fall colors too. love retro fabrics too. vintage 30's 40's thru 70's I would like to see what other places offer. I like ric rac and old lace. Anything vintage.
