I'll only use your preferred ideas to create something. I won't go on a limb and send you something random, as everyone prefers something different.

Please do the same for me and consult my preferences before sending something, as it's a lot of work creating something, only to get something you really don't prefer.

Please note-I will share any pieces that are not my cup of tea with friends. I hope you don't mind..

Like books on Metaphysics, Quantum Physics, Buddhism, Channeling, Art of any kind, Crafts of all kinds, Quilts, Sewing, Old childrens or anatomy books with cool vintage illustrations, Kids pop up books, gardening, flowers, interior design
