I really enjoy doing swaps. It's so nice to get fun treats in the mail. I really try to take my partners profile into account when I'm sending and I always try and send something I would like to receive. I DO NOT flake on swaps. So if you don't receive something please let me know and I will make it right. I will be sure to rate all packages upon receipt. Please afford me the same courtesy. It's frustrating to spend time and money on a package and to not receive any rating at all.

I love candy!! Candy is one of the main reasons I joined swap bot and I hope to try some awesome things!!

My dad is retired military so I have lived in several places. I spent the early part of my childhood in England so there are a lot of British candies/foods that I enjoy.

RANDOM STUFF I LIKE (In addition to Candy):

My favorite colors are blue and purple.

My favorite season is fall.

My favorite holiday is Christmas.

My favorite scents are: apple pie, vanilla, fresh lavender

I like hot chocolate and apple cider.

I really like cake! In case you can't tell by this profile I have a really big sweet tooth :)

I am a Redskins Fan. I definitely keep up with the games during the football season!

I am an Orioles fan and try to go to at least one game a year.

I am a dog person not a cat person. I hope to own a golden retriever some day!

I like fun socks. I'm not really a fan of toe socks, but pretty much any other kind of fun printed socks - argyle, stripes, poka dots, fuzzy, soft - pretty much anything!!

I like cute/fun blank note cards. I have been looking for some monogramed notecards with the letter W.

I like fun fridge magnets!

I really like Hoops & Yoyo! I think they are hilarious.

I really like Prawn Cocktail flavored potato chips. These are British. I occassionaly find them in the U.S.

I really enjoy Jazzercise. It's my main form of excercise and I think it's a lot of fun!

I enjoy cooking/baking, but I don't do it very often. I'm always on the lookout for simple and lowfat recipes.

I enjoy a good laugh :)

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ~Marianne Williamson
