Hi there! A little about me: I am twenty-four years old and have two older brothers. My parents are the greatest influences in my life, grandparents second, husband third (in a good way!). My husband and I are newlyweds as of May 26, 2013 and life couldn't be better. I am a Graphic Designer for a family owned jewelry business, and he is part of the Rhode Island National Guard (field artillery, former infantryman for the Massachusetts National Guard). We live with our two older gray cats Eli & Toby and once we own a house, will hopefully be adopting a yellow lab.

Since we don't have a lot of $ to spend at fancy restaurants or crazy date nights, we spend a lot of time at home with each other, making dinner and coming up with crazy date-night-in ideas. We love to play games on the Wii, whether it be Monopoloy or Super Mario Bros (we love their collectibles!)

I love, love, LOVE Maroon 5, Train, Taylor Swift, Usher, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, Phil Collins, Billy Joel, Backstreet Boys, Blink 182, Bruno Mars, Christina Aguilera (her old stuff!), Aerosmith (our wedding song was I Don't Want to Miss a Thing), Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, our first concert together was The Veronicas (don't ask!), Kelly Clarkson... oh the list goes on.

My hobbies include scrapbooking, smashbooking, drawing whether it be in Illustrator or on paper, writing and blogging (blog link in profile), photography although I'm no professional (i love instagram so if anyone has any paper related items that would be amazing!), text messaging with emoji's is considered an art with my husband and I, I'd love to get into card making but I just simply don't have the time to learn right now, I kayak with my family in the summer, shopping is considered a hobby to me...

Growing up I collected Beanie Babies... I still have my entire collection stored in my parent's attic. Now, I love to collect ornaments (store-bought and handmade!) from places I've traveled and things that mean a lot to my husband and I. Another thing that I've found that I am a hoarder of is scrapbooking material whether it be stickers, paper (ESPECIALLY those premade kits), supplies, washi-tape.... WASHI TAPE is my BIG obsession now, you should see my Etsy favorites! Postcards from my travels. Candles... I. Love. Candles... my aunt gives them to us every year and I've finally come to the last few. Our favorite scents are Apple Pumpkin, Bahama Breeze, Red Velvet - but we're open to anything! I also collect nail polish... specifically Essie. My newest collection over the past year has evolved into smashbook items... and smashbooks....I also collect received greeting cards, and blank ones that I will someday find a purpose for.
