NOTE: Nov. 1 until Jan. 1, 2025, I will be not joining many swaps due a very busy period of time for me.......

NOTE: I only swap in the US - due to mail so slow & the cost of international.

I had a bad fall a few years ago, which left me with double vision, so I try to type everything. If you send me a written swap, please type or use a black/blue ink pen for easier reading. I also try to complete the swap before partners are assigned, to be sure, I can complete.

.I am not really a cook, other than easy recipes - I use my crockpot or convention oven for most of my dinners.... love fish of any type - chicken - ham - roast beef - not a big steak eater like most any sweets & really easy on vegies, corn, potatoes, etc.......

I have no idea what happened to my profile but once again, I will write - Mother of 3 grown boys (all live in different states) - 1 grandson - the only girl is my DIL and she is a big help to me on many different levels.

I enjoy learning new crafts and almost anything to do with paper. Reading & watching movies are Big with me. I also like Adult Coloring books. Always photography, love nature/clouds, etc. Enjoy writing with prompts. May add more later but all for now!!!

Very easy with music! Must admit, I don't really listen to the "old" C&W music.

..Music is always playing while working on crafts.....

R&B

Enjoy listening to Piano Music....

Have been a "Movie Buff" all my life !!!

A variety of movies, not just one type - And have a nice collection of DVD's & Bluerays....

. Action, Drama , some Comedy, some Musicals, Sy Fy, some Horror , a Romance ever so often..

It does seem to me that many of the "new" movies just don't have the great Actors/Actresses anymore...just a point of view statement.

I enjoy a wide variety of reading - Many different topics & subjects

From James Patterson to Traci Peterson - really like to discover new authors.

Also poetry and/or Christian books

Please, Please NO Harlequin books.. (print is too small) ...

Please, NO smoke smells in the books - that smell just does not go away.

Love to walk for exercise.

And always on the "look-out" for something to photograph!

We have a "lite" exercise class each week.

And a little "Dancing" helps also
