1) I love hot chocolates, hot cider and dessert teas. I'm NOT a coffee drinker though.
2) I'm fine with homemade treats or store bought. The only things I don't like are licorice, raisins & coconut.
3) I'm interested in pretty stationary, books/mags. on crafts, sewing, homeschooling (Charlotte Mason & Waldorf styles)homesteading, gardening, attachment parenting and clean historical romances.
4) I like 100% beeswax candles, essential oils, natural bath items & soaps. As long as it is natural, I'm open to surprises. ) I don't like floral or earthy scents. I prefer baking/food scents like vanilla, pumpkin, vanilla, gingerbread, vanilla, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon, vanilla, orange etc... Did I mention vanilla? )

1) I strongly prefer coffee - unflavored. Would much rather have a small quantity of good stuff rather than a large tin of folgers. Black teas (unflavored) are always welcome and appreciated, too. Not much of a drinker of anything with sugar.
2) treats are lovely! Would love some simple yummy cookies. No mint flavors, please.
3) A handmade coffee cup (used just fine) would bring a smile to every day for me.
4) magazines (pre-read are fine) always welcome, my strong interests of the year are cooking and business development.
5) no candles or artificially scented things, please. WAHM-type soaps and bath stuff always loved. (I am allergic to patchouli)
Ok!
1)Tea. I don't drink coffee--not a big fan of hot choc. either. Ummmm, mint tea, fruity flavors are yummy, other herbal teas....I like most, but not really into chai or anise flavor
2) Oh heck, treat wise, can't think of what I wouldn't like, LOL. Choc. choc. chip cookies are good as are most kinds....no raisins or nuts, lol.
3)love magazines---most anything--I like sewing, crafts, cooking--light (not necessarily Cooking Light magazine...just lighter cooking, does that make sense?
Never enough time to read books, but love books that are more crafty, how-to books
used is great for any of these.
Stationary would be great too
4) candle/scent wise, anything fruity, spicy, or food like scented, but no florals....gives me headaches. Love minty smells, fall smells, or fresh smells.
1) Loose or bagged tea - I drink black tea primarily, and am on coffee hiatus for now. I do like chai, minty green teas and herbal tea too!
2) Homemade goodies are fine, we're trying to do reduced sugar and dairy free around here though. I love biscotti and scones!
3) I love historical, pagan and humorous fiction, magazines like SageWoman, WonderTimes, Living Free, Oprah. I love quotes, so that kind of book would be nice too. I'm also into sewing, quilting, crafting so mags along those lines would be great too. Used is fine!
4) I collect unusual and beautiful coffee mugs. Handcrafted is awesome, but things that are colorful or have excellent quotes on them are lovely.
I also like candles but prefer no bath/body items (I make my own). Baking and food scents or herbal scents but no florals please.
Gemstone jewelry is a favorite too (not like rubies and diamonds, unless you WANT to send them, more along the lines of rose quartz, kyanite, amethyst etc). Earrings, pendant or necklace, no bracelets please.
Any kind of altar, goddess related or nature items would be appreciated and put to good use!
FAT FACT:
20 years ago a standard cup of coffee was 8 ounces and had 45 calories.
Today's 16 ounce cup of "brand" coffee has 350 calories.
You need to walk approximately one hour and 20 minutes to burn off the extra 305 calories in the "brand" coffee.
this sounds like a lovely swap!!!
1)I only drink herbal teas, green teas, like yogi or loose, I love chai(any), detox, cleansing, moontime, echinachea, peppermint, etc
2) I am waching my choc and sugar intake, but do love them, favs are ch. chip cookies, like herbal, biscotti, almonds, any nuts, coconut, don't like chewy fruit in my foods unless it's granola, lol
3) used are fine. for mags: like these or similar: cooking light, utne, living, kids, weight watchers, organic style, sewing, paper crafts, pagan, sage woman, homesteading
for books: reallife, historical, nature, philosophy, also like homemade thank you cards
4) small gifts....prefer beeswax or soy candles, nothing flowery, like fruity or mixed scents, votive, tealights, small notebook(for purse) or scrap-pad for desk, please no bath & body( I make this). large shells, pretty rocks, goddess or scorpio magnets, travel mug (for hot tea!).
prefer homemade/wahm/gentley used

And see what I've been up to at:
1) Not a coffee drinker at all but I do enjoy tea and hot chocolate. For teas I like any black, minty, herbal, or decaf black is fine too. Loose or bagged is okay as long as it is marked.
2) For a special treat I would really love some raw or local to you, honey or even honey sticks That is what we prefer to sugar around here...especially in honey. Otherwise homemake baked goods are great, scones are good, cookies, etc just nothing with nut pieces. (Not due to allergies on that one.)
3) Reading interests are on gardening, herb gardens, cooking frugally, christian fiction novels, etc.
4) If you are sending candles, prefer beeswax/soy but even more than that... nothing floraly please. Baking or food scents, fall/winter, coffee scented, vanilla, etc are fine...just no floral...for some reason they tend to give me a headache.
Oh me me me me me!
I love tea, cocoa, coffee whatever! ( i really really really like tea though )
no nuts or cocnut or raisins for us
I prefer non parafin candles and I love all scents but especially vanilla-y ones.
I love anything funky and retro. ooh or sewing goodies!
my interests include sewing, gardening, animals, gentle parenting, etc.

Still waiting on choices from 4 mamas and then I'll start matching.
I'll be going out of town Wednesday morning, so I hope to have matches posted by about lunch time tomorrow, Tuesday (I'll ship to my partners before I leave, so no worries there).
I didn't recieve choices from three mamas who got picked a LOT, so that kind of threw things off, especially for you mamas who had picked them and wanted to do more than one swap.
I am really sorry that I had to go on without you 3 mamas. On top of packing/going back out of town tomorrow, I just found out that I am having company for most of the day and dinner unexpectedly and my baby developed croup last night. So, I just had a window right now that I had to get it done in (baby sleeping, company not here yet etc...)
Also, I apologize for me ending up with 3 swaps. That may look unfair, but I took some of the mamas who didn't get picked as much and it just ended up working out that way.
So, here is what I came up with. If you see any problems, email me asap. Shipping is to be by this friday. Enjoy mamas~

Aileen, I emailed you last night at 8:41 pm, shortly after you posted about choices. I also edited my post right after that! I swear I didn't forget! I would like to do two swaps, please check your pms & email at kdunnaway@bledsoe.net.
) Total value should be about $12.00.
as are most kinds....no raisins or nuts, lol. 
I do like chai, minty green teas and herbal tea too!
