About Me

Hello. I am a graphic designer, artist, wife, and mom. I have two children, a boy and girl who I am proud to homeschool, and most days are an awesome adventure. I have recently cut way back on coffee, and this is a huge life event for me, so if you see me, approach me slowly, I am either wound really tight... or asleep. Hope to be back to normal soon.

Favorite Crafts

All of it!

I work a lot from my computer. I do Project Life digitally. But I am still addicted to all the elements put out for the physical version.

I love to draw and paint. I am not as good as I aspire to be, but it is relaxing. Watercolors, charcoal, ink, and pens at my favorite notebook supplies.

I am also a capital K knitter. I adore wool. I always have 20+ projects going at once. It is what I do when I am sitting.

I am a scrapbooker. I don't do it was much as I wish, but I really like capturing stories on paper.

WHAT I LOVE!!!

Color Combinations-

Gold-sparkly-shiny

blue/yellow

blue/white

pink/gold

pink/green

red/teal

flair and scrapbook ephemera

acrylic paint/water color

pens of ANY kind

aprons

love the 80's

I LOVE paper and paper supplies by October Afternoon, My Minds Eye, and Crate Paper. (I secretly want the world's supply of Maggie Holmes.)

Super HUGE Wish list

deco tape, or just tape in general

Japanese craft mags

Kawaii papers, stationary... anything

Stickers (its an obsession... not really a healthy one :P)

pens (I really like trying new pens. All pens welcome.)

Glitter

I really would love some red embossing powder

Art supplies in general.

Dislike

No makeup, lotions, or potions. I don't wear make-up and I would hate for it to go to waste.

Favorite Books

I love books! I can't understate enough how much I love books. Finding a good book makes my heart sing!

I have read just about everything from C. S. Lewis, but I will take copies, as I take lots to notes when I read, new copies of his works are always welcome.

I have a head time finding:

George MacDonald- I would love a few of novels if you can find then in a used book shop near you, Phantastes, The Princess and Curdie, Sir Gibbie, Mary Marston, There and Back

Mortimer J. Adler- I have his How to Read a Book, but I will take anything else.

Charlotte Mason- anything by Charlotte Mason.

Charles Dickens- The amazing Chillipepper1959 got me Bleak House!

Walter Moers- I have The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, but any of his other books.

Other Miscellaneous Books:

60 Quick Knits (I have the baby one)

Woodland Knits by Stephanie Dosen

The Silent Gondoliers by William Goldman

Animal Hats by Vanessa Mooncie

anything by Larry Gonick

anything by Corrie Ten Boom

any of the Audubon Society Field Guides

Flaked On By

As soon as I receive your package, I'll take you off my list:

Libbybear

Nanamint- I have still not received anything from a tag in Sept08,she is still participating in tags- WATCH OUT!!!

Comment: Thanks for the book pages!! You have interested me in both of them - thanks also for the little background stories :) I am gonna put them on my to-read list in Goodreads ;) Ohh, and the stamps on the envelope are so cool!! :-D
Response: Ilsepulse, I am so happy you liked them. I was a little worried as they are both kind of goofy. But to their merit, they are goofy in a way that makes us think, and we can always use a little laugh. So happy to like them.

Comment: Thanks so much! That has been on my 'you should read that' list. Had I realized which swap the package was for before opening, I would have saved it for Christmas. Ah, well. A hot tea and cozy corner will be a lovely weekend!
Response: Awesome! I was a little worried as it is a "love it or hate it" kind of book. I am so happy you are excited, it is one of my favorite reads.

Comment: Becky, Thank you so much for taking time to make such a great card. I haven't had the best of luck with some of the handmade swaps but your postcard renewed my belief in people wanting to do a good job. If I could give a rating higher than a 5, I would. Best wishes for a great holiday season--russ
