About Me

I'm a wife, stay-at-home mom (11 & 15), artist, cupcake freak, compulsive shopper, wanna-be super girl, who's trying to find her knitch!

I've started at cupcake business out of my home called Hey Cupcake.

I guess my favorite colors are purple, mauve, pink, brown, green & black (in no particular order). Really like the combos pink/brown, pink/black, blue/brown.

Favorite animal: elephant

sun

I'm a "retro/vintage" fan (40's, 50's & 60's) - love the fashion, art, ad art, decor... I'm also a fan of the ol' pin-up girls!

I'm also gettin into the Marie Antoinette/Frenchy-French stuff!!

Love coffe & tea (collect unusual mugs/tea cups and also collect teas).

stbks During the school year, I'm at Starbucks almost every day! Cinnamon Dolce Latte is my fav right now!

donut If I had to pick a favorite doughnut, it would definitely be a pink frosted doughnut (with sprinkles sometimes too).

candy I like candy!
♥ suckers
♥ fruit flavored candy
♥ cinnamon flavored candy
♥ retro candy
♥ gum

LO♥E jewlery, vintage costume jewlery, vintage jewlery pieces, vintage ribbon, lace and trim.

My friends call me a "crow" because I'm attracted to all things shinny or sparkly.

I love polka-dots too!

In My Dreams...

clouds

... I'd be thinner!

... I'd have a maid. I hate to clean!!!!!!!!!

... I'd be more organized. If I was, maybe I wouldn't hate to clean so much!

... I'd have a bigger house with a pool. It's hot here in So Cal. and a pool would come in handy. A bigger house so I would have plenty of room and storage for party planning, baking, crafting, ORGANIZING.

... my boys would happy & healthy - never lonely or sad - slow to anger - confident.

... I'd have the perfect, storybook marriage. (Not that it's all that bad now.)

... My parents would live forever!!

... I could write music/songs.

... I would open my own coffee/dessert shop.

Waiting, waiting, waiting...

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack :D And you like Natalie Dee!? Fantastico! We should swap, or at least think about it sometime soon :D Or maybe just do a letter swap.... I dunno! Something fun, I've been looking forward to it for a couple of years now! Sorry I have been so out of touch, but I'm super excited to have the internet AT HOME again! YAY! :D sprinkles glitter all over your profile

Thank you for the WTA ATCs! They are so adorable!!! That's just my sort of Halloween style. Love them!

And the yarn comic lady is hilarious, but it's not quite right. Mine would have half the inside of the skein piled out in a big tangled clump on the floor!! That's the way I start pretty much every new skein of yarn! ....you'd think I'd learn...
elizabethofcourse on Jul 21, 2008:

I am in love with your yarn comic!

Cameron got the puzzle you sent him today, he LOVES it. He and I spent all morning putting the pieces in and dumping them out, driving them around like cars, and parking them in his little people farm. THANK YOU!
