Favorite Music

I am a huge Foo Fighters fan and a fan of alternative rock in general. My other favorite bands are The Beatles and the Beastie Boys. I know, I don't understand it either. I also enjoy bluegrass, classic rock, old school jazz and big band. I'll pretty much listen to anything except Top 40 and crossover country.

About Me

I'm 40-years old, married for 17 years, no children but 2 beautiful shelties and a wonderful husband to keep me busy. I work as a civil engineer for a municipal authority which requires me to be very logical during the day but I'm also a very creative person in my free time. I like (no, LOVE) to cook and bake. I'm into eating healthy (trying to anyway) and love all cuisines, but especially asian flavors. I enjoy drawing and painting, knitting (I'm still a beginner), making jewelry, playing piano and reading cookbooks. I do agility and rally training with one of my shelties and I've recently been inducted into the world of yoga. I'm becoming addicted! I love entertaining and hanging out with my friends and family. My interests really gravitate toward cooking, crafting and dogs!

Favorite Crafts

Well, I'm not sure if you'd consider cooking to be a craft, but it's certainly my favorite hobby. I've recently decided I need to be a grown-up about what I put in my body, so healthy cooking has become my newest thing to play around with. As far as more traditional crafts go, I really like to knit (even though I'm slow) and I love tinkering with jewelry making.

Favorite Movies

Let's see - it's hard to pick an absolute favorite, but the few I have in my collection are Moonstruck, Lawrence of Arabia, Chicago, Guys and Dolls and Philadelphia Story. I love classic comedies (think Doris Day and Rock Hudson), musicals and a good sci-fi flick. I hate anything scary or too gory.

Favorite Books

I love to read! Favorite subjects are about food, cooking, people who cook, places they've cooked... See the theme here? I also love travel books. I like some modern fiction (no romance novels please), but I want my reading to make me think and to ultimately teach me something, physically or mentally.

Comment: Wow Kathy!!! Wow, Wow, Wow!! I love the beads, I love the box, I love the shell pendants!!! I don't know what else to say!! I absolutely love it! You outdid yourself! Now do tell.. how you made the hole in the shell without breaking it?
Response: Great! The shell idea is kind of a "work in progess" so I'm glad you liked them. I used a dremel tool placed in a special tool press to make the holes (keep the drilling area wet - cuts down on the smoke and dust). I just go slowly - seems to work well. I'm so glad you were please with your package.
