SwapperT

I'm really not a very crafty person on my own, but if I see an idea I can usually do a pretty good job replicating it. I am slowly getting better at coming up with things on my own though!

Pinterest is one of my favorite websites and it has given me a lot of inspiration! Follow me! My link is posted :)

I will continue to update my profile as things come to me

I've been married for 8 years and I am a stay-at-home mom to my two sons ages 6 & 4. I do work PT at two different seasonal jobs though. In March 2014 I will have my Associates in Human Services degree. I really hate to be out in the snow, but am fine looking at it from the inside of my nice warm house. Someday I hope to travel the world, but who doesn't want to see what is out there? I've only been Postcrossing for a short while but I'm totally addicted to it and have already done package swaps with people in other countries. I put my Postcrossing link on my profile for reference :)

I can listen to just about any kind of music but I prefer rock. Some of my favorite bands are:

Disturbed, Nonpoint, A7X, FFDP, Flaw, Godsmack, Skillet, Static-X,

The list goes on and on

I'm a big Dean Koontz fan and have been reading his books since I was in 6th grade. I've also started reading books by a newer author named Olivia Cunning. I have also read the Twilight books and liked them better than the movies. I also liked The Host by Stephanie Meyer. I'm read some of the Sookie Stackhouse books, but actually like the TV show better than the books. One of my all time favorite books is Where the Sidewalk Ends.

Some of my favorite movies are Disney & Pixar. I do however like a good comedy or chick flick. Some of my favorites are:

Beauty and the Beast, Sweet Home Alabama, Dazed and Confused, Empire Records, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Rocky Horror Picture Show,

I watch more TV than I probably should but a lot of times it's on in the background for my kids. Some of my favorite shows are:

Bones, Grimm, Days of Our Lives (I've watched it since I was 6!), CSI, Hell's Kitchen, Master Chef, Revolution, Sleepy Hollow, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Pawn Stars, Mythbusters, True Blood, Dexter, Ancient Aliens, Shark Tank,

Let's start with my dislikes because the list is so much shorter :)

Spiders-I cannot stand the creepy things! The color pink. Dark Chocolate. Black licorice. Fruit snacks. Overly girly things. Funky socks. Fabric. Scrapbooking things (unless it's stickers).Yarn (I just won't be able to use any of these).

Things I like:

The color black. Coffee-I LOVE coffee! Eeyore. Washi tape. Thomas Kinkade-especially the Disney ones. Fall/Halloween. 1970 Chevelle-my dream car. Fine point, colored Sharpies. Stickers-no teacher rewards. Caramel. Skulls. Vampires (not really into Twilight). Abandoned buildings. Grave stones. Black roses. American Football-Green Bay Packers & Michigan Wolverines. Johnny Depp.Outer space. Tea-I like to try new ones, but I am allergic to blueberries Outlandish and crazy stories-if you have a news article I'd love to read it! Magnets.

For my kids If you're feeling nice or sending something for my kids seems more fitting for a swap here are some things they would like. Legos, Bubble Guppies, Garfield, Paw Patrol, Team Umizoomi, Caillou, Rugrats, Handy Manny, Max & Ruby, Alvin & the Chipmunks, Bernstein Bears, Goosebumps (especially the books), Toy Story, Monsters Inc/University, Art supplies,

For recipe swaps I prefer things with chicken or beef. We don't eat a lot of seafood or exotic meats. Casseroles or potato dishes are also welcomed. We try to eat a lot of gluten free but I can substitute so don't worry about converting it for me. If you have a really good GF one I'd love it though!
