Summer is lovely here...we're enjoying lots of sprinkler time and working on our garden--herbs and flowers all the time. Kelvin has been doing pt and his leg is getting stronger all the time!

I am a traveling reality TV junkie who loves photographing the beautiful, the strange, the delicious, and the funny that life is. I love vintage, kitschy, and hello kitty-ish cute! I collect too many things...BLYTHE dollies, anything pink & green, anything having to do with cupcakes and baking, vintage images, and crocs (the shoes, not the animal!). I'll take a cup of tea over coffee (unless it's a white mocha) any day of the week. Favorite restaurant in the world...Blue Bayou at Disneyland. Favorite city in the world...Auckland, NZ. Place I have to go before I die...Paris.

Alternative, classic vocals, and 70's are my favorites... I like most types of music except country. On my i-pod, I have artists such as: Robbie Williams, Morrissey, Smiths, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Lifehouse, Peter Gabriel, Prince, Andy Gibb, Tom Jones, Astrud Gilberto, Dean Martin, Talking Heads, Edith Piaf, Matchbox 20, Neil Diamond, Travis, Nine Inch Nails, Etta James, Barry Manilow, Michael Buble, Del Amitri, Partridge Family, Jacques Brel, Cat Stevens, Queen, Nickelback, Stevie Wonder, Franz Ferdinand, Publie Enemy, Bob Marley, Rialto, Coldplay, Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller, Culture Club, Men at Work, Fifth Dimension, INXS, Elton John, Yves Montand, Proclaimers, Smashing Pumpkins, Otis Redding, Earth, Wind, & Fire, Bay City Rollers, Ben Folds Five, Cure, Dave Matthews Band...

My five year old son--my husband--our berner-Makulu--Pink & green, cupcakes, words, driving, the ocean, gerbera daisies, San Francisco, French things, vintage anything, paper, holidays, birds and cute owls, the smell of roses and lavender.

I am a stay at home mom for my 5 year old son, Kelvin. When I am not driving him somewhere, I love creating...circle journals, atcs, matchboxes, canvases, art journals, altering anything, scrapbooking, paper crafts, jewelry, photography, knitting, and baking.

I love reality tv! Amazing Race, Big Brother, Top Chef, ANTM, all that good junk! Other fav's...Dexter, House, Monk, The L Word, Nip/Tuck, Lost, Doctor Who, Boston Legal, Big Love, Dirty Sexy Money. And the real guilty pleasures--tho I try to watch an episode in 15 min's or less...Days of our Lives & General Hospital.

Still miss...Dead Like Me, Six Feet Under, Carnivale.

Can use--Bits of epherma, vintage trims & papers, Blythe clothes & accessories, baking accessories, weight watchers snacks, ribbons, themes--owls & birds.

Would not use or want--Americana/patriot things, Christian themed, or dust catchers.

Kelvin loves books, cars, dinosaurs, dogs, games, & WEBKINZ. Themes he loves: Transformers, Star Wars, & Pirates of the Carribean. Collections: rocks, cars, stickers, & pretend money.

Pretty into...cereal, white chocolate, pinky bars, white flake bars, lemon curd, good jams, tea, white mochas, & weight watchers snacks.

Not so into...chocolate, plain (Lipton type) or green tea.

I've gotten burned on a few swaps on here and it doesn't feel good! If you are going to be late, LET ME KNOW! I don't have a problem with that as long as I know what's going on.

If you send a package and it looks like icky junk that you just threw together, I will rate for that...I follow the directions of my swaps and send packages that I think people will like and hope others do as well.

I love the great people that I've met on here and their creativity and thoughtfulness keeps me coming back for more!
