Hi there! I am a life long crafter, designer, seamstress and artist. I can't seem to sit still and am always working on something.

Not sure what to put here… I love to read and watch movies. Summer is my favourite season, followed closely by Autumn. I grew up in the Navy and travelled the world with my family.

I'm addicted to facebook, farmville and netflix.

I've been sewing since age 13, which was a looong time ago! In a previous life, I was costume designer in NYC. And I've recently started to have my very own designer fabric printed!

Can't wait to swap with you!

My all time fav. band is Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. I have fairly eclectic taste in music…

Love Taylor Swift!

More favs: Neil Diamond, Carly Simon, Dar Williams, Selena Gomez, Stevie Nicks, Ozzie Osbourne, John Denver, Clay Aiken, Amy Winehouse…

I love music and could go on and on and on.. There is very little music I don't like.

All time fav. books: Pride and Prejudice Alice in Wonderland The Monster at the End of this Book

I love reading, I usually always have 1-5 books covering my night stand.

I love all things Pride and Prejudice and Jane Austen. Recently read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, too funny!

And love P & P type movies: Bride and Prejudice; Lost in Austen, etc…

I also LOVE history.

I'm addicted to Netflix, and recently watched a foreign film called Thirst. It's about priest who accidently recieves a blood transfusion of vampire blood, thus becoming a vampire himself. I'm not NECESSARILY a vamp fan, but this was an exceptionally good story, as you follow the "good" priest succumb to his vampire needs.

I love movies with strong women, Practical Magic is one I watch when I miss my sister. I'm Sandra Bullock and my sis is def. Nicole Kidman!

Fav. Movies: Office Space Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion Lost in Austen Star Trek Up Being John Malkovich Shrek Twilight Series

Any Historical movies with amazing costumes!

With 3 small kids, my life revolves around Disney, Nick Jr. and PBS.

We don't have cable, so I do most of my TV watching via Netflix

I've recently discovered Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the spin off Angel. So I'm working my way through those.

Also Love: The Office Lost Gilmore Girls Wizards of Waverly Place Phineas and Ferb PROJECT RUNWAY Ghost Hunters The Dog Whisperer
