About Me

Merry Meet! I’m Joy! I celebrated the 28th anniversary of my 30th birthday this year and have been crafting since childhood. Though my sister tends to be more creative than I am (I swear the woman can make anything out of nothing) I'm not too shabby myself.

I am married to a wonderful guy that supports everything I do. I have 2 grown children and two grandsons . We have a small farm in North Carolina on top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere. I LOVE IT!! My husband likes to say that I celebrate my decrepitude while enjoying my hermitism. I have also lived in New Jersey, Florida, Arizona and Atlanta. I am currently working as a personal assistant.

I have a small business where I sell some of my crafts at Festivals, but mostly I do stuff just to do it. I have never met a craft I haven’t liked! I’ll try any of them once and a hundred times if I like it!

Favorite Music

I love 80’s music as well as 70’s and OMG Disco. Journey, Kansas, Fleetwood Mac, you get the drift!! I’m also a big fan of a Celtic band from Georgia named Emerald Rose. I try to see them perform every chance I get.

Favorite Books

I’m a big fan of Laurel K Hamilton especially the Merry Gentry series. Marion Zimmer Bradley, John Grishom, Tom Dietz, Charles DeLint, Neil Gaiman.

Favorite Movies

Hocus Pocus, Practical Magic, The Craft, Eragon, almost any Medieval or fantasy movie.

Favorite Television

Criminal Minds, House, Law and Order SVU and Harry's Law (gotta LOVE Kathy Bates). I’m addicted to HGTV, DIY and The Food Network (I love to cook). I also watch the History Channels, Discovery Channels and TLC, SciFi and Chiller.

Favorite Crafts

Can’t say that I have a favorite. I do almost everything. We have an entire room in the house with nothing but craft supplies. At least when I want to try something I usually have the materials already. I just recently relearned to knit…I’m not great at it but I can do it!

Likes

I LOVE purple, just about anything purple. A friend of mine says I’m the queen of STPS (Screaming Tacky Purple Shit) I even used to have a purple car!!! Color combos and shades of blue/purple/mauve, almost any of the cool/water type colors are great with the exception of green. I like dragons, witches, wizards, faeries, not too big on unicorns though. I follow an Earth Based Religion so that may have something to do with it!!! I’m a coffee addict, and LOVE chocolate. In fact in our house there are only 3 food groups: Chocolate, Cheese and Garlic. Everything else is just there to compliment those groups! I like Celtic knot work items. Overall I'm not picky as long as everything is created with positive energy!

Dislikes

As I already said I’m not big on unicorns or Disney stuff. Green or orange are NOT my favorite colors but I can take them in small doses. I do not like neon colors of any sort.

Wish List

Craft Supplies:

* Unusual beads

* ATC supplies (just leaning how)

* Pagan/Wiccan cross stitch charts

* Scraps of colored aida cloth (can't find it here)

* Stars, moons & Faeire stickers

* Hand made felt

* Unusual buttons

* Ribbon scraps

* Wire and colored wire (I started learning to   do wire weaving)

Other Goodies:

* Flavored coffees

* Unusual chocolates

Comment: I loved the spell kit. It had more than one spell and all of the items to do each spell. The little box that it was in was nice too. I can use it for a travel altar.

Response: So glad you liked it. Since it was my first altered matchbox I wasn't confident about it. The cauldron, believe it or not, is nothing more than the bottom of a plastic easter egg and 3 pony beads, all painted black of course! Happy Yule!

Comment: Thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful swap!!!! I love it all, so creative and such a wonderful choice of things! Thank you! May I ask what the oil consists of? No need to give me the *recipe* just so I have an idea what was used for it so I can use it appropriately. Thank you!!!
Response: I'm soo happy you liked the swap. The oil is appropriate for any goddess related ritual or even to use as perfume if you want to feel a connection during your mundane day. I will send you a PM with the ingredients.
