I'm a 28 year old stay at home mom. I spend a lot of my time taking care of our family which I find so much joy in. Aside from being a wife & mother I identify myself as somewhat of an artist. I used to spend hours upon hours drawing...now I find myself spending most of my down time sewing & designing things that I may some day create with my sewing machine. I also love to knit, but don't do it as often as I wish. I can accomplish pretty basic patterns, but I'm fascinated with what others can do & hope that someday I can make something amazing. I love fun, laughter, taking walks, taking pictures, being a friend & finding ways to cheer people up, shopping and being girly, facebooking, blogging, cooking and baking, sending encouraging love notes, decorating my house & changing things up... I'm also a christian, but not the stuffy kind who attends on Sunday at forgets who they are when they leave. I love the Lord. I believe we're all broken people & we're nothing without Jesus. He's what makes me whole & who I am. I truly believe that there is nothing I can do to make Him love me more, or love me any less. His grace is amazing!!

Country music on the radio, on my IPOD I love listening to Hillsong, Shane & Shane, any Passion album (all worship music), Watermark, Vineyard Worship...but my most favorite music to listen to is my husband playing the guitar...there's nothing sweeter. I love to sing & I love teaching my children fun songs!

The Bible - especially the book of Ephesians, The Notebook, The Lucky One, The Shack, Total Money Makeover, & The Five Love Languages I don't get to read adult books very often so all I can think of are Children's book titles...hahaha We read A LOT of children's books every day!

Sewing, Making & designing purses, totes & diaper bags, & baby blankets, Making copy-cats of things I would normally have to pay a lot for, Knitting (mostly scarves, blankets, washclothes...simple things) & have recently tried jewelry making & am really lovin that too!

I like so many things - I'm fairly easy to please. I love things that are handmade, I like vintage decor, great photos & cute albums, whimsical designs...especially in fabrics, lots of colors...blues, pinks, browns & earthy tones...I don't have one particularly favorite color. I love soft clothes & blankets, recycling & going green, quiet while I sew, music while I'm cooking & baking, bargains, fabric & craft stores, jewelry & embellishments, girly things since I'm the only girl in my house :) I love jewelry & accessories- longer trendy necklaces, braclets, & scarves. I've been shying away from earrings just b/c my babies are so young & love to pull on them...ouch! I love milk chocolate & fruity candy like most girls! I also love anything that makes my boys happy! They love animals...balls...stickers...books...

I'm new to swap-bot & am excited about it! I do have to confess that I'm often busy, busy, busy with my children & our schedule. If you recieve something from me it may be sent closer to the deadline - but never after! Of course I always do my best to do things early, but with the way things roll in my house...you never know. I just feel I need to be honest with you swappers in hopes that you'll understand why you may be waiting on me. Thanks for understanding - I'm sure most of you have or have had little ones & know where I'm coming from.
