My favorite color is purple. I love hummingbirds and angels. I like anything for the garden as long as it can tolerate this Texas heat.
I also love any type of garden art, angels, gnomes, butterfly, hummers, frogs...
No smelly things please. My breathing can get pretty wonky with some perfumes. I do like candles, eucalyptus spearmint from bath and body works.
I am a quilter, and I love to make charity quilts, so fabric or batting is always nice.

I love garden art. Have many angels, cherubs and fairies. Always room for more of those.
The only color that doesn't get in my garden very often is orange. Love pinks, reds, purples and whites.
I feed birds. Mostly I have gold finch, house finch, chickadees, tufted titmouse, nuthatch, cardinals, blue jays and hummingbirds. I can usually find a few mourning doves hanging about, too. This year I even had blue birds nesting in a couple of my boxes. That was fun, they were right by the pond. Oh yes, I have a 5000 gallon water garden with koi.
Love candles, and anything else that smells good.
Hope that helps!
I would love anything if It came from the heart!
Love pink but like most colors Yellow being the least.
Anything Home or garden. Have the hot Texas sun and shade area. Love to garden art.

Fav. color is blue, I love blue & yellow together, also huge on good ole red, white & blue. I like frogs, & hummingbirds. My favorite flowers are red, any at all as long as they are red. I sew, mostly quilting these days. I love Christmas fabrics as I'm making all the grands tree skirts.
I'm a bit difficult now as we consider ourselves to be in between homes. We live on a lake in northern MI but trying to sell and move to TN. Not too big on scented things, candles, etc. We have two dogs, a mini dachshund and a black Golden retriever.

I found my old list on another thread from 2008 when I was still ClanCampbell, so thought I'd start a new one.
Likes: blues and greens, sunshine yellow, candles with vanilla or rose smells - any flower really :) At one time I had found a Victorian Rose candle that was out of this world - of course they don't make that scent anymore lol. Love perennial flowers, specially coneflowers and daylily - my garden is pretty small, so I don't get too many new ones lol. I love to scrapbook, so any embellishments are always welcome (specially love K&Company brand). Just getting into embossing/stamping too. Love to do photography, which led to my scrapbooking lol. I'm more into salty foods than sweet, but do love dark chocolate. Nuts are one of my fav snacks :) Anything to do with Dragonflies or butterflies. I enjoy going to flea markets and garage sales - never know what cool things I'll find there.
Dislikes: candles that smell like food - always makes me hungry! Coffee - don't drink the stuff, never have :) I do like hot cocoa mixes and Earl Grey tea, but not herbal teas.
Basically anything that someone sends to me will be loved :)
