California girl drowning in Louisiana! I don't get out much, not that there's anything to do here ;) I've been cooking a LOT, sewing, knitting, playing in my beads, painting my nails, and folding a lot of origami. We've been making beer & wine (and drinking it ;), and BBQing a lot.

I'm a little punk rock, and a little Martha Stewart. I'm married to an Army soldier, 5 years this July! :) It seems I'm always in the car; I love to drive! I have a very twisted sense of humor; it is near-impossible to offend me (nudity/profanity is okay). I have guns, and enjoy recreational shooting. My desk is only for art & crafts; I love the freedom my laptop offers me. I bake a lot, for fun, and I cook a lot, in general.

Nail art: I paint my nails daily (sometimes twice). I would loooove a nail stamping kit! I'm just starting to collect things like paint brushes, rhinestones, and other nail decorating stuffs.

I like to bake, and cook in general, and I am good at it; I make a lot of bread and cookies, and I love casseroles because I hate doing dishes! I send a lot of baked goods to my friends back home. I sometimes take appetizers into bars/restaurants where my friends work, and almost always get requests to cook for the place =S I am seriously considering going to culinary school right now.

I have been sewing since I was 4 years old. I make a lot of clothes and toys for my kids, and a LOT of purses/bags/totes.

I would love to get into needlefelting, but I don't have the $$ for it at the moment. Maybe next year! ;)

I also share my house with three kitties (Stormy, Halo, and Voodoo), and two snuggly pups, Johnny, and Walker.

Walker's first home was very mean to him - he is quite brain damaged, and afraid of just about everything, but still (obnoxiously) affectionate, lol.
