I am retired in Florida with my husband. I have 2 grown kids and 4 grown stepkids and lots of grandchildren.. We have been married 10 years. I was previously widowed after 23 years of marriage. I design and create jewelry mostly from gemstones. And I am a Reiki Master. I am originally from NH so big difference in the winters!. We bought a 27 ft camper this year and travel north in the summer now.

I really like country music because it usually tells a story.

I love to read and I have a kindle fire. I have about 600 books on it now. I like a variety but I really enjoy fantasy or paranormal. I have enough books to last me for a loooong time.

I have tried just about every craft at one time or another but I always seem to go back to making jewelry. I like to design and create pieces made with healing gemstones and I have sold at a couple of craft shows and done well. I do like sewing as well even tho I don't do it as much.

I am allergic to most perfumes and scents that are flowery. I am ok with light fruit or melon scents.

Please don't send any atc's as I will not be joining any swaps for those

And no books as I have so many on the Kindle

Ok I've decided I also don't like stickers as that seems to be most of what I am getting - I really have no use for them So please NO STICKERS

I do not do scrap booking of any kind so cannot use cut out pictures etc for that.

Things I like: Anything Christmas

jewelry findings and supplies (even old jewelry I can take apart and redo)

fat quarter are always useful (cotton)

4 ply yarn - more apt to make an afghan than a quilt lol . Or cotton yarn for dishcloths etc.

I have a 2 yr old cat named Frankenkitty (blame my granddaughter) and would love toys or treats for him

I would love some decorative buttons. The kind with the shank on the back instead of the holes.

I try to get out my swaps asap and I try to rate as soon as I get an item. If I get something I don't like I still try to be kind and remember someone else's taste may not be the same as mine.
