Update; November 6,2011

Nanadeb passed away on Oct. 31, 2011. As of now her daughter Missi is running her account for now. Any questions please feel free to leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible

Just thought I'd let anyone intrested know that I'm still around and waiting to swap. Just I've found that since I smoke, no one seems to want to have me in their swaps. So I guess I'll just stay in the background until I find something that sounds fun. I do check in almost daily. Thanks for looking.=)

I have been a member of Swap-Bot since June of 2007.
I'm a grandmother as well as a great-grandma. I have 2 kids of my own and 4 stepsons. There are a total of 12 grandkids for me. Ranging from 2 yrs to 23! Yes lots of youngsters, but I don't see most of them much. Too many miles for visits=) I love black cats. Especially if they have those glow in the dark, green eyes.

I like the simple things in life. Love having my family around me. I can't keep up with the grandkids but I love having them around.
I enjoy receiving handmade items, whatever your craft may be.
I want to let everyone know, I am a SMOKER, have been for a long time. If this offends a swap partner, PLEASE let me know. I always use extra care when making swaps. But sometimes that isn't enough. If my partners ever have a problem with this, I will do all I can to make thigs right. Or contact the host of the swap so it can be straightened out quietly. Again, Thanks:)
Also if you do not receive from me, PLEASE message me before rating me. I always send and would never flake on anyone. If I am even a day late I will message you to let you know. Please offer the same courtasey to me. Thanks again.
Had no idea ATC's were so popular until I joined Swap-Bot! I have decided that I'm not good enogh at ATC's to ever consider swapping them. So supplies for them are just wasted on me. I'll just re-swap anything I receive.Paper crafts are the one thing I'm not real good at.
My husband and I were married on Halloween so I really love that holiday and decorating for it. I like the fun of Halloween and the memories that they bring back.

Yanni, Willie Nelson, varies:) Have been known to listen to Kiss, Ozzy, Jovi and ACDC too :D

Anything with Robin Williams, Love the Genie in Aladdin;) Highlander series, both the Movies and the TV show. I also enjoy some of Stephen Kings stuff. Books and movies.

Don't watch alot of TV, it's on mainly as background noise.:) What I do watch is, Charmed,ghost whisperer, Ghost Adventures, Paranormal State, Haunting on Discovery, Deadliest Catch, Sylvia Browne, John Edwards

I've been crafting since I was young. Crochet, knit, gourds and whatever I get my hands on. I like working with alot of diferent yarns. Use mostly acrylics though.
Don't really have a favorite color. If I had to chose I guess I would say greens. All shades. Blues were my husbands favorite so there are lots of that around my home, especially in my kitchen. I have alot of copper there too.
Been sewing since I was young, when my machine lets me. Sew diferent things. Being big I make alot of my clothes. Fabric and notions are always good for me. Solids and small prints are always nice. Cottons and flannels are what I use the most of. I use aprons for a lot of things so I like to make them. I really prefer full aprons but if a partner makes it half, that is great too:D
Gourds are cut and painted. They are fun to work with. Lots of shapes and sizes to pick. Small ones make cute Easter ornaments.
I have also discovered my House Fairy resently. She is a lovely person, great to talk to when I'm having a rough day. I will be paying more attention to her than in the past:)
Recently, I've started playing with Polymer Clay. I love this new outlet that I have now.

Some of the things I collect and love are:

*Angels & Fairies
*Yellow Roses,pictures, cards, anything with a rose on it
*Carosel Horse figures
*Wooden Boxes, especially from the garage:) the older and dirtier the better
*Anything that is Halloween related any time of the year! Fabrics in particular but also decorations.
*Candles of any kind and scent;)
*Love, anything Lavender scented
*Eeyore items too, yes still a little kid at heart :D
*Also crystals, incense, anything native american related.

THINGS I DO NOT CARE FOR;

Tea- I'm a coffee drinker so rarely if ever to I drink Tea. Only in the summer, iced!

Raw Fish, in any shape or form!

Dark Chocolate. I'm more partial to Milk and White Chocolate.

'The hardest lesson in life to learn, which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn'

'He who angers you, controls you'

'Listen without defending and Speak with out offending'

'Be the kind of woman, that when your feet hit the ground each morning, the devil says, "OH CRAP SHE'S UP!"

I have 2 grandkids that I do alot of things for. They are the youngest and closest to me:D

First Anthony, he's 9 this year and loves, army guys, Shrek and Cars. Also, anything camo. He loves to color and create things with and for me.

Second, Trin: turned 10 this year and has discovered the Twilight series. She likes anything and everything she can find on Twilight. Colors are black and blue. Sometimes she likes purple too. A very colorful 'child' I guess. She's starting to learn to crochet, simple things right now. Also, she loves her computer.

Both of them play computer games,PS2 and all sorts of things. Hope this helps if I'm in a swap for them.
