About Me

I love art, but rarely make time to make it. I buy supplies to make art, but never use them. However, when I sign up for swapping ATCs, it's a wonderful way to make a deadline for myself to do art! I love drawing/painting, reading and watching movies. My job is centered around customer service, so after a long day at work, I just want to snuggle in with my husband and new Baby Girl and be an introvert. ^.^ I love the story behind artwork and so when I create art it cannot just be willy-nilly; I want it to mean something, whether it's obvious to the onlooker or not. I love when art moves me.

Favorite Music

Erykah Badu!!! Beyonce, Chris Cornell, The Offspring and Mariah Carey are list-toppers as well. All different types - hip-hop (I think the 80s/90s hip-hop/R&B is still great!), rap, rock, heavy rock (All That Remains, As I Lay Dying, etc.), alternative, ragtime, jazz, blues

Favorite Books

The Count of Monte Cristo, any Karen Kingsbury, and Blood Memory by Greg Isles. Also love self-help/inspirational readings

Favorite Movies

Set It Off, Mr & Mrs Smith, Hitch, Legally Blonde, Rockstar

Favorite Television

Epic Ink, Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, Bob's Burgers, Archer

Favorite Crafts

I love pretty much any craft. I love artistic anything, really, that's creative and makes you think or just moves you. Most recently I've been buying a lot of Stampin' Up stuff, though I don't see myself as a big stamp person. I really am an addict for tools, so when you show me a tool I can use that has to do with my passion for art, I cannot say no. It's a problem, really! hahaha

Comment: I love, love, love it. Thanks for the awesome ATC.
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! I may have been confused; I rec'd 2 ATCs from one partner (so far) but I sent only 1 card to 2 people. Did you send 2 cards to 2 people?

Comment: You put a smile on my face! Between your note and the ATC, I don't know which made me happier. My #1 favorite thing about swaps (and I need to add this to my profile) is when someone has gotten really excited about what they are sending and you can tell the difference between the people who just want to receive something and those who use the challenges to grow. I made my first ATC for this challenge and had a blast doing it! I'm working on more too. Enjoy the project you're creating for your daughter. It will be something she will treasure forever! Thanks again!
Response: I'm so happy you enjoyed it! After receiving my card from my swap partner, it dawned on me I forgot to add the Swap Info on the back of the card I sent you and to send an extra little something - ANYTHING! Ha! I'd forgotten all about those parts! I really do appreciate the topic you chose - I was just blown away that a stranger pushed me along in my art goals. It's easy to forget strangers can often times be more help toward you achieving what you want vs people who know you well (because those close to you don't want you to fail so they offer only the "safe" advice/info/etc). Thanks again for pushing me out of my comfort zone!!!!

Comment: Thanks for the ATCs. Just a hint for next time though... you might want to write what swap it is on the envelope so I don't have to hunt down which one it is.
Response: Roger, doger - I guess it's been WAY too long since I did this. Thanks for the reminder! =)

Comment: A great card. Thanks for taking the time to match it to things from my profile, and the notes on how you created it.
Response: I'm glad you like it. You have very good taste - I wanted to use a textured background but all I could come up with was the brown, burned background. I wish I had had more time to experiment!
