Update: I want to apologize to my current swap partners that I am running late. My sister needed to come up immediately to start getting moved in. We've been working around the clock to prep part of the house and I have had no time for anything else...even sleep! I am trying my best to get caught up. I am not going to flake on anyone, but please please please be patient with me. I really am trying the best I can. I'm sorry! I hope the special packages I put together for you will make up for it!

I am a vegetarian, artist, Reiki Practitioner, jewelry designer, eBay goddess, Pisces, Pagan, drumming, clove smoking, Mac using and homeschooling mother of 2 young vegan girls , Siena (4yo) and Skye (6yo). The 3 of us adore fairies, puzzles, wooden toys, Muppets (all things Jim Henson), My Little Pony (youngest loves all things horses and Spirit is her favorite movie), Care Bears, Thundercats and Smurfs. WMMR Rocks! and I ♥ NPR. I love amusement parks and riding crazy roller coasters. I am currently going back to school for massage therapy and the primary caretaker for my mentally disabled and diabetic mother. My sister and her girlfriend are getting ready to move in on June 6th...I hope it's a good thing since my house was completely rearranged and repainted (not to mention new carpeting in some rooms and a new ceiling and wall and in another) in preparation. I think it will be.
