4. What is your favorite type of craft/art medium? hmmm...just one? Well, I guess altering things.
5. What is one art/craft supply you absolutely have been dying to have or try? Tinted glazes on paper.

10. How do you 'pamper' yourself during the hot summer days? With an iced tea on the arbor with the misting fan going...watching the kidlets enjoying the heat!
11. Do you have any kidlets or pets? Yes to both....I have a 23 year old son, and an almost 19 year old son living away from home and a 10 year old bundle of energy son, still at home. Going into 5th grade......he keeps us ALL on our toes! :0)
12. What is your best potluck dish for summer get togethers? Hmmm..I LOVE to cook, so I try new things every time. Last night, I grilled steak and made Pioneer Woman's crash potatoes...huge hit!

16. Why do you like to join swaps? Oh, definately the bonding with another person. I live in a small rural town and not much happens here. Hard to find people interested in the same things I am. I also LOVE the hunt for treasures to send my partner. And, of course, the fun of seeing what they found for me! (side note: I also LOVE to keep the mail person guessing. Lots of exotic and mysterious packages arriving often. He just laughs!)

So glad you visited me so now I have a new blog to look at! I got a great deal on my harlequin doormat. It's a Ballard Designs mat (LOOOVE BALLARDS) that I found at a garage sale for $5 brand new. It sells for about $30 in the catalog. I was excited to get it!

Thanks for stopping by!

I usually go for flowers or a magazine when I want to treat myself so I'd spend that 25 the same way (except for shoes)
