2 New Swappers for the Sept Swap

Welcome to Reina D and Patricia Anne

A little about Reina: "She LOVES to read.
She has read the majority of her favorite authors, and is finding new authors by default. She loves dean koontz and has read the majority of his books. the same goes for stephen king. She hasn't read many of the new books, last 3 years or so. the only kind of books she just really hasn't gotten "in to" are romance novels, the bodice rippers. her mom loaned her a book by judith krantz, and she was in a state of depression for a week. other than scrapbooking she has yet to find a craft that she doesn't adore, and maybe if she tried harder at scrapbooking she would like it better. she has 2 beautiful little girls. one is 2 1/2 and the other will be 9 in november. Her hubby and her will celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss in december."

A little about Patricia Anne: "She is 25 years old. has been married for three years. She has a stepson who is 9 years old along with her own 2 year old little boy, and a three month old set of twin girls. She teaches Theatre Arts to 7-12 graders. she has participated in one apron swap and has joined the crochet swapblog. She loves arts and crafts things, but regrettably she is just now learning to sew, crochet, etc... she has been working on crocheting for awhile now, but she hates everything she has done so she always unravel my work. She LOVES to read, scrap book, (try to) draw, (try to) cook, make lanyards, and work on latch hooks. She is also a huge fan of learning so anything anyone can teach her in the crafts area would be wonderful."

A little about Becky:

"What a wonderful package I received from Debb. The items were too numerous to mention, but a lot of them dealt with tea. Now I have many books to read, one of which I wanted to read but couldn't remember the author. That is the "Strawberry Shortcake Murder" by Joanne Fluke. Also included were some lady bugs, which have always been a "friendship" item between the two of us. I thank you so much. Debb. You are always so thoughtful and generous.

Kris,

Thank you for your great package. I absolutely loved the mug you sent. I have decided to start collecting mugs in addition to writing pens. The two books were exactly the ones that I have been waiting to read. I just finished a book last night so now I will start reading the Susan Wiggs book that you sent. Perfect timing. The hot pad, bookmark, and coffee were great, too. Thank you so much for a great package. :) Jayne Davison
