I love all the Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen movies; mysteries (not scary), The Italian Job, pretty much anything with Mark Wahlberg!
I adore Will & Grace re-runs...never watched them while they were "on air" weekly, just got hooked afterwards!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the USA channel TV program "Burn Notice" I TiVo every episode!
LOVE NCIS...I just got addicted! DVR is going crazy with all that I save now!
I prefer re-runs to live TV or first runs, because I hate not being able get up to do other stuff while the original is on!
I also like the mini series TV, Cashmere Mafia, The Starter Wife.
I like pretty much all music except really explicit rap, techno (it give me a headache and makes me dizzy!), I like Blues and Jazz the most, we listen to 80's and 90's music when we scrapbook and create, I listen to Big Band Swing while cleaning and doing things around the house! Riley the Dog and I nap to jazz!
I read every single day. The library cracks up at me, as I am checking out like 20-30 books a week! Unfortunately, for work a while back, i needed to learn to speed read technical manuals, and it stuck, so reading for pleasure sometime sucks because I read too fast!
Most people take a book or two for beach reads, I take like 15 for a one week vacation! (or I spend a ton on vacation for reading materials!)
I cannot stand books on tape, I find it hard to focus, and usually fall asleep!
Love mysteries, FBI, cookbooks, crafting and arts, and do it yourself books.
Pretty much all crafts! I have tried most! I love working with paper, fibers, ribbons, fabric. I would consider myself a mixed media artist.
I dabble in whatever I am interested in, and am super lucky to have a hubby who supports my desire to craft!!
I am an accomplished seamstress, mixed media artist, designer of scrapbook papers, and instructor.
Right now, I have been very active in mixed media, paper, paints, canvas, and loving ATC's. I am teaching a lot of classes with different medium's, as well as paper arts and canvas.
LOVE Dark Chocolate. I prefer this to any others, darker the better. I will try pretty much anything, though!
LOVE Chai tea. Iced coffee's (YUM) I drink these everyday! I usually make my own iced coffee rather than purchase. I do like the Vanilla Bean from Starbucks and usually order a mint mocha or vanilla latte. Caribou-it's the chai or cherry vanilla latte.
I am a huge fan of pizza! all kinds. Scrambled eggs and banana peppers, crab with asiago cheese, pepperoni, crumbly sausage, mushrooms, and banana peppers slightly well done (Fiesta Pizza makes the best around here)--my hubby and I are always making up our own pizza's here with leftovers, and our scrambled egg pizza is YUM!
I am a purist when it comes to foods, I like steak with nothing but sea salt (no other seasonings or grilled onions/mushrooms, etc).
I eat a baby spinach salad daily, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them (thanks to my hubby's Italian friend Tony-he got me hooked)
LOVE a BLT salad from a local restaurant and when craving it run over there for lunch!
I LOVE ice cream (but it does not always love me!)
Love veggies-ALL OF THEM! I have been adoring beets right now, golden and red, have been roasting them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and eat them like candy! soooo good!
I love to grow things. I do mostly container gardening, as we have a wonderful dog who roams free in our yard, so containers work best (plus I can move them around!)
This year, I am going to try my hand at a dozen heirloom varieties of tomatos, plus beets, carrots, and radishes. A few peppers, plus one unique item...brussels sprouts. I think they are so cool growing on the stalk like they do!
We have an organic farmers market close by every summer, we have purchased a lot of really good fruits and veggies there. Pineapple tomatoes-worth the $$!
Love organic coffee from KC Coffee (can be ordered online) http://kccoffeeco.com they have the best tasting coffee ever---i am a dump in the sugar and cream kinda girl, and with KC Coffee, i use a bit of cream and that's it--i cut my sugar intake down tremendously...rockin' good coffee!
I love walking in the parks. We are so fortunate to live right next to the National Parks (Cuayhoga Valley National Park) as well as our county parks system. Riley and I try to take a walk everyday, weather permitting. My hubby, Riley and I get in the Jeep and take off to find new trails every weekend. We enjoy being outside immensely! I could sleep under the stars!
I am not into too much "cutesy" stuff. I do like some, however, I am pretty picky!
I do not like the vampire stuff that is currently "hot", and have never read nor seen anything Harry Potter (don't know why, just never have!)
Do not like smoking, or smelling smoke on my art items or trades. This really turns me off swapping.

I'm sorry to hear about you car accident. My thoughts and prayers for a full recovery.
have you had a chance to open my ATC envelope? I hope you liked it.
I hate when things get smushed in the mail, especially when they are not packaged well. :(
HI!!! I didn't know you were on swap bot!
I was checking profiles for my buttons swap before assigning partners, and noticed that you like Burn Notice. As I read this, my husband and I just happened to finish a mini-marathon of episodes from our OnDemand service!
