About Me
Update 10/28/2010 I am taking a break from swapping. I have sent all my swaps so if you haven't received yours in a timely manner please contact me for a resend if needed. I will be checking in and rating received swaps and making sure I get rated for sent swaps.
I am married with 2 grown daughters and "MeMe" to 2 1/2 grandkids. I'm friendly and love to make new friends, I'm down to earth and willing to talk about anything besides politics and religion.
My most favorite thing to do is make beads out of polymer clay and hope to advance into metal clay eventually. I also love to read, cook, and anything to do with paper, I like to watch movies with my hubby, and I love spending time with my family.
If you are one of my swap partners and do not receive a swap from me in a timely manner, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know before rating me. I always send my swaps and will resend if necessary.

Hi Gayle! This is your swap partner for " Read and Comment on your partner's profile !"
Metal clay is pretty cool. I never thought about using regular clay first! I know that's silly since it makes more sense to practice..
Have you read some of the recent Stephen Kings book? Like Sunrise to sunset? Oh and did you read the cell?? that book is so awesome!!
Also I had to say your beads are great. The beginnings of a flower cane really messes with my mind... It's pretty and looks lit inside!!!
Hi This is for Read and comment on Profile
I love the images on your profile You are so amazingly creative - I really admire you .
I'm a great reader too I enjoy a lot of Stephen King and Dean Kootz books . I 've seen the movie based on King's book The Green Mile- one of my most favourites. I understand what you mean about "cute " as in Hello Kitty and such ...

Hello BeadbyGayle! Tis nice to meet you! You've got a really nicely filled out profile here, and right away I noticed quite a few similiarities between us! I too adore earth tones, my favorite colors being green and brown. I love mushrooms and wild flowers, owls and buttons. Such variety of great things, makes it easy for your swap partners to get to know you! Haha, I also dislike Country music.. and doing dishes! But gosh who doesn't. Well, I had a nice time reading your profile and getting to know you a little more. I hope we're in more swaps in the future and take care! :)
Hi! I'm commenting for the "Read and Comment on your partner's profile !" swap :) I used to do polymer clay! I think it's great you make beads! I had to quit when it got too painful to try warming and sculpting the clay. I miss it. I made clay covered pens, little figurines, buttons, miniatures for 1:12 scale dollhouses. Was so much fun. Had to find other hobbies instead though :) Have a great day, I enjoyed reading over your profile!

Hi Gayle. What a really nice profile you have. I can see that we have some of the things in common. Just haven't tried out beadmaking yet, but it looks so much fun and maybe I should try that out one day. I love to read too and I love Stephen King and Dean Koontz too. They have written some fantastic books. I have finally found "The Stand" and are really enjoying it. I have also read most of Dean Koontz books.
I had a look at your Flick photos and you have two gorgeous grandkids. And the Hersheys chocolate cake looks so delicious. Did you make it? Too bad I'm allergic to chocolate:-(
Have a wonderful weekend Gayle and enjoy the swaps here. This "leave a comment" swap was really a good idea. Great to meet people this way too:-))
