I LOVE crafting, creating, making, and diy craft projects. I love to thift shop and Hobby Lobby is one of my favorite stores. Also, I have been creating one-of-a-kind vintage charm bracelets for several years. You can check out my website to see some of my creations. I also create one-of-a-kind baby books using vintage books. You can see the baby books by going to my Etsy shop.

I believe in RAK and paying it forward. I also believe that "giving back" is very important.

I enjoy all genres of music from rock to country to classical and everything in between. Just to give you an idea of how broad my tastes are...I use to teach in-door cycling classes (aka spinning) and my music CDs included Elvis, Cher, Glenn Miller band, Nickleback, Metallica, Distrub or any other song that had a good beat for a cycling workout.

I love to read (for leisure) whenever I have the chance. Right now my reading consists of college text books. My favorite types of books are true story or biographies although I do like to read fiction on occasion. I know if a book is going to be good (imo) if I can't put it down once I start. If I can't get through the first few pages without having my mind wonder then I know I probably won't get through it. The last book I read was "In Harms Way' about the sinking of the U.S.S Indianapolis - a great book but it tugs at your heart strings.

I am having fun exploring differnet crafts. My favorite crafts are jewelry making, paper crafting, card making just to name a few. I love searching Pinterest for new ideas. I like to recycle, repurpose, and reinvent. I think a homemade gift is better than something bought from the store.

My husband and I are both collectors and we love history. I collect World War II era Sweetheart jewelry. I also collect other styles and types of jewelry...everything from antique to vintage to modern. My favorite jewelry to collect is mid-century costume jewelry. They just don't make costume jewelry like they used to. I also collect tribal masks, art work, and anything else that catches my eye.

I am not a picky person and I can find a use for almost anything. Here are some of the things I like and that I keep in my craft room.

*Beads (vintage and new) *Broken jewelry bit & pieces *Jewelry Findings *Charms & Pendants *Ribbon *Vintage Seam binding / vintage laces *Paper crafting items *Vintage paper items *Ink Pads *Stamps *Paper Punches *Glue (lots of it and all different kinds)
