vixen

I'm back after a few year hiatus..My life has changed sooo much..I'm almost done with a divorce.(Not my choice, but it is what it is) I went from being a housewife of almost 28 years to single working mom and grandma..It's soo different..I've been concentrating on just getting through it..I haven't crafted a whole lot in years or swapped..Looking forward to getting back into it,as I loved crafting and swapping..Some new themes are Hippy,Boho,Witchy theme..That's the theme my house is now..And also Pride. My daughter came out to me recently and I'm SUPER PROUD of her..

I like most music, dancing in the rain and just living life to the fullest.I like to watch netflix movies and read a good book. Romance is the genre I prefer. The older I get the more I'm questioning life and my beliefs..I was raised Catholic and became a Born Again Christian.I'm currently leaning towards Spirituality, and what it means to me.I'm learning homeopathic ways for illnesses.I'm learning about different oils and stones.I do prefer homemade soap and candles.If possible, if not possible it's all good.Just wanted to put that out there for any soapmaker partners I may get in the future.And on my tea swaps I may join-I saw some earlier. Loose tea is great.I have a teaball that is still in it's package getting lonely.And I've changed my mind about chai tea. I'm willing to give it a shot.

I have just gotten into bellydancing for exercise. It's really fun, you get a good workout and not over the top soreness. Just my speed.

A BIG THANK YOU to my 2016 Fill My Stocking,Fill My Stocking /Tote Bag partners. You all gave very thoughtful gifts, that I enjoyed(enjoying) immensely. I hope you all have a WONDERFUL 2017. Sending HUGS and LOVE to you..

International Mail. Not sure how long it takes to get mail from the USA or to the USA internationally. Please message me if there's a problem recieving a swap. Right now I'm waiting on a postcard to get overseas and I'm starting to get nervous.Then again I can be a nervous Nelly at times. Same goes for my USA partners, if you don't recieve from me please message me. I'm happy to work it out with you. Most times I get tracking with my packages, but there have been a few times where I haven't. (Those are the ones I really worry about) And our PO is a tiny one. We have the reciept that says how much I pay, not where it's going. Generally I use a different post office if I want a reciept showing the date,time and zip it's going to.

Some of my favorite movies are Gone With The Wind, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Lady And The Tramp Sixteen candles, Breakfast Club, Meet me In St Louie, Sound of Music, Grease

I like watching NCIS and whatever tickles my fancy on Netflix.Lately I've been watching Dallas 2012. I'm enjoying it..

Crocheting has to be my all time favorite. But I like to give eveything a try.Not too sure about soapmaking. Seems really complicated, but I love homemade soap.

I would also like to try doing things with resin. I love the finished products I see, but have no idea where to start.

For those that get me as a partner on cross stitch or plastic canvas I really love Amish looking things, Coffe or Tea theme,houses,,Garden theme,fruit and vegetables-cartoony or realistic.Or theme that's not covered that's in my Likes group..Not to much of a fan of beach theme. Crab or lobster is AWESOME, but lighthouses,anchors,dolphins and seashells not so much. Unless it's in a magnet or something I could turn into a magnet, then that would be fine.

I'm also beginning to make stone bracelets. So if you'd like to have a personal swap with me, just send me a message.

I just found out about non colored post cards and pocket letters. I am really interested in someone willing to swap pocket letters with me.Also need ideas of what to put in them.

I like glittery, shiny things. hot tamales,Good and Plenty fairy's,elves and gnomes,, WINE,margarita's,Christmas, fall-the season,cute halloween,pumpkins cute monsters, scrapbook supplies, atc's, all colors, vanilla,ocean,cranberry and hazelnut scents, tea-no chocolate, dotee dolls, spirit dolls, ornaments, postcards, magnets, SOAP-coconut,coconut-lime-if possible,cranberry,blueberry,pomegranite,ocean,NO HEAVY scents like pine etc...Anything sweet smelling, but not sickly sweet...I do prefer homemade if that works for you, but if not that' great too.. Stitch markers, russian dolls, nutcrackers, atcs, pac man, NCIS, journals, inchies, coffee/tea related items. pocket letters, pink flamingos, crystals and stones, sage, clay figurines, homemade postcards-PLEASE send in an envie. Wouldn't want your hard work to get ruined.

I dislike lilac scent-allergic really, chocolate scents, chocolate tea, snakes,spiders Nothing gory

Will add more as I think of them.

Yarn scraps- I'm trying to make a yarn ball out of my scraps (a couple inches would be great), will take any excess,fabric,rubber stamps,beads and beading supplies,stickers,inchies,teapot related items,mini decorations and coffee related items,cutouts for scrapbooking examples holidays,trees,cupcakes,sandals,food,kids,baby,sun, moon,stars,flowers,words.Plastic canvas magazines,Cross stitch magazine,Crocheting magazines,anything Mickey Mouse,fabric of any kind,seed packets-veggie or flower, ice cream tulip bulbs,Dotee dolls,handmade post card and anything on my likes list..I'm also wanting to make a scrap type recipe book..So anything would be great for that.

This is for the things I'm wishing upon a star for. Not sayng I won't be happy with anything from my regular Wishlist because I will be.Just my list of "winning the lottery" type wishes.
