Hi all! How is everyone out there in swap world?

Let me tell you some things about me!

• I am learning Spanish and German! I also know some French.

• I am fascianted by India and the ancient culture there.

• I recently filed my business license.

• My favorite color is green. I also like purple, orange, modern & bright fabrics, the combination of white, black and red and the combination of yellow and gray.

• I collect and recycle aluminum.

• I am extremely interested in recipes that exclude allergens (ie. something like gluten free) or those that are directed towards specific diets (ie. diabetes, PKU, etc.)

• I pick up loose change from the ground (pennies only if they are heads up for good luck) and collect it in an old tea tin. I know it's silly. But I have a plan!

• I am allergic to all flowers. Orchids and lavender are the worst.

• I love to reuse and repurpose things. I want to learn to sew better so I can do more of this!
