Hello you all!  Today is the deadline for signing up!  Technically the deadline is midnight on the 19th, but I have no intention of being on the computer at midnight, so you could still sneak in at 3 or 4 am if you need to. ;)  I will sort partners tomorrow night after work, so be sure to email me your address if you have not (on the flip side, if you have emailed me but not posted your survey here, be sure to do that!).  Looking forward to seeing if I can make some crazy matches!

6. One word to describe you: Eclectic
7. Anything else you wish to include: I have an open mind about most things.  Not a huge fany of truly 'girly things' preferring steel and leather over lace and fripperies.  As a friend put it, I'm a "Refined Tom Boy."  Still trying to figure that one out completely! LOL.

Hello all!  Deadline officially up!  If I get some down time at work this afternoon I'll start drawing names out of a hat (well, out of a paper clip bowl, but whatever), you will have yours for sure before 10:00 tonight. 

I had a duh moment...I did not post my survey.  I see Emerald added a #13, I am borrowing her format. :)

1 .Favorite Color: green (except lime green) and grey
2. Hobbies:  SLEEP.  Reading, faire, piracy, faire, gardening, did I mention faire, cooking, history (see #7), kids, road trips, sewing, making jewelry, snail mail, making stationery, watching documentaries, the list goes on....
3. Do you wear jewelry, what type (ex. rings, earrings, necklaces, also gold or silver) and size where appropriate: The only jewelry I don't wear is earrings because my ears always close up.  I love silver/pewter, not a big gold fan.  Rings 7 or 8.   
4. One interesting fact about yourself: Trying to get my kids to all 50 states before they graduate high school.  Thankfully one of them was born in Alaska, so that helps my list immensely. 
5. Favorite Movie/Book: TOO MANY TO NAME.  I am usually reading biographies or historical texts (for school or for pleasure), but I also like QUALITY historical fiction.  For movies, I like historical pieces, but I must confess I do like both National Treasures, and my guilty pleasure movie is National Lampoon's European Vacation. :)
6. One word to describe you: Disorganized!
7. Anything else you wish to include: This may not be the place to admit it (don't pillory me!), but my true historical love is Colonial America.  I am working on a Ph.D. in history, my field is late Colonial through Jeffersonian era (1700-1825), with a focus on the "frontier" (Missouri especially, Illinois, Kentucky...the river areas...interesting to think that there was a French fort in Kansas in the 1600s, not a time we usually picture Europeans in the Midwest!).  I live and breathe anything related to the Corps of Discovery, especially Meriwether Lewis. :)
8. Those who know me IRL and on the Forum:  Master James, but don't believe anything he says.  His lovely wife Sharon, and then Seryn and I are on a snail mail list together.  There are other people on the forums, but no one else that signed up for this exchange.
9. Do you have an R/F pin?  You betcha!
10. Allergies?? (in case someone bakes for you) Shellfish.  Sorry, we won't be sucking on crawfish heads together anytime soon.
11. Favorite scents? (in case someone gets you candles, incense, etc.) Patchouli, neroli, cinnamon and all the "autumn" scents (especially apple cider!), clean scents (i.e. Yankee Candle clean cotton), fresh mowed grass, almonds, baking things, herby scents.
12. Home faire and other faires regularly attended? KCRF and St. Louis--which is going on right now.  Go.  You will love it.
13. Things you collect: Those cheap plastic snowglobes that you can get at tourist shops.  The cheesier the better.  I have a collection in my living room.

Everyone should now have their secret person!  Remember, they ARE secret, so don't tell them!  If you are having problems coming up with something, it might be worth it to check back on the threads from former exchanges.  Some of the people might have signed up previously, and have more information on previously posted surveys. 

Have a great weekend everyone!
