JackieH's Profile

I've been a PBS member for 3 years and I found the site just surfing. Some of my favorite things are Knitting, watching t.v., watching  movies, blogging and oh yeah knitting. I have 2 sons and a cat.  I've participated in a few swaps so I'm not a newbie. I read pretty slow since I work full time and I'm always doing something. I consider myself a woman of color meaning I'm African American. I have 4 tattoos and 2 piercings in both ears. My fav authors are James Patterson, Debbie Macomber, Harlan Coben and Janet Evanovich. I'm a  proud Scorpio( November 7th) and I love anything related to the sign.

I work  from home as a Quality Assurance Representative for a Marketing/Telemarketing firm. I'm attempting to collect African-American figurines. I would also like interesting items from your state and or city. I love chocolate and anything sweet. I'm a "girly girl" which means I love perfume, nail polish and lotions and lip gloss. I prefer dark or brown colors because I have a light brown/tan complexion and alot of pink and floral things look bad on me.  also knit in my free time and I love to knit purses/bags and anything fun, easy and quick. I'm open to new knitting books and other things to knit.  I would love extra yarn(Wool or Wool blends or if acrylic Vanna's Choice),knitting needles(double pointed-I already have sizes 3 & 4 and 6) and knitting books on knitting purses and handbags. I don't need any straight needleds and I don't like any kind of fun fur or eyelash yarns please. I don't have alot of books on my wishlist but I will happily accept anything from my fav author's. I consider myself crafy so I would love books on crafts and I'd like to start collecting cookbooks also.I'll accept anything I get. I like cute socks, accessories or anything wackey or wierd
