I’m a 50 year old woman. I’m a practicing witch, I read tarot and make oils and sprays. I love cats, crystals and tea. I’m new to this whole world of pen paling and swaps but love to give and receive handmade stuff. I am not a crafting snob and really appreciate the effort of all artists and non artists a like. Heck, I can't draw a straight line to save my life most of the time. Wanna try a new technique or product? Wanna try a different layout? Great! I am always up to see new stuff! I like to help by my comments and aim to always be kind.

I will listen to anything at least once. Rock, Country and 80's are probably my favourite types of music. Some of my favourite songs came out of 80's movies like Breakfast Club and Say Anything.

I read or listen to audio books all the time. I have a very broad taste. I like young adult fantasy, sci/fi fantasy, fantasy romance, thriller and mystery books. Really the only thing I don't read are biographies. I ready a lot of different metaphysical books as well like tarot, astrology, Kabbalah, herbalism, crystals... I could go on.

Some of my favourite authors are: Piers Anthony, Ian Rankin, Kathy Reichs, James Patterson, Cassandra Clare, Ilona Andrews, Dean Koontz.

My movie tastes are about the same as my book tastes for genre. I do love a good scary movie that makes my heart race. My one exception would be classic B&W movies.

Some of my favourite movies are: Harry Potter, Princess Bride, The Mummy Series (not the Tom Cruise one), Alien, and anything with Jason Statham. I also like to watch a lot of Scandinavian movies and short series when I can get them.

As for the B&W classics: I love the Thin Man Series; The Women (original with Rosalind Russell); Alfred Hitchcock movies; Arsenic and Old Lace (really anything withCary Grant)

For TV I don't watch comedies often. I don't find a lot of things on American TV funny except for maybe the Big Bang Theory but I do like British Comedies like the Office, Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers, Black Adder and Jeeves and Wooster. I enjoy murder mystery types of shows, scifi and fantasy.

Some of my favourite shows are: Bones, Supernatural, Warehouse 13, Firefly, CSI, NCIS, Ghost Adventures, Doctor Who, Murdoch Mysteries, Lost Girl

I like to knit, make candle and paper crafting. I like to challenge myself with making things and do things by some of my favourite youtubers.

I like to make albums of different sorts and really like to make interactive elements. I am always looking for new things and ways to do things. I like to be methodical and studious; I have a bit of a perfectionist bug in me and I am working on relaxing it.

I don't have a big collection of thing so I am always grateful for die cuts, stickers, lace, material, washi, ATC, postcards. Ok all things papercrafting related. I really like to share things I like with other people.

Bible Quotes, religious items - I will always respect your belief, opinion and POV but I am not interested in being collected.

Loose Glitter - I abhor loose glitter. By this I mean not attached to a card or emphemera. I also pet sit in my home and glitter is not good for fur friends. It's one of those things that ends up everywhere.

Food Items - I do like a little treat/taste of things from other places but I need to be able to identify the ingredients as I have food allergies/sensitivities.

Food Stickers or Ephemera - just not my jam LOL
