Collections: Just starting up a designer toy collection, which I am in love with... my favorite stuff being from Kidrobot, Junko Mizuno, Yoskay Yamamoto, artoyz, and Tara McPherson; I have a small collection of colorful art papers; anything cute to hang on my wall goes there: things like wrappers and labels I like the designs of, sketches, prints, notes, photos, etc; a miniscule wooden fan collection that I am fond of; a rather large collection of bath&body stuff consisting mostly of Lush and Burt's Bees (however I love all handmade soaps, lotions, etc.!); a few hundred origami lucky stars; books.

As you can tell, I like a lot of things; I'm really not picky. I prefer hand-made items over bought ones.

Alcohol, overly girly stuff, waste, cheap lotion/soap/etc., being tired and not sleepy, cloves, allergies, being too hot (I don't mind being cold because I can curl up in blankets), being nauseous, being bored at work, monkeys, frogs, bad color schemes, going away from home, country music and degrading music, witty sayings, herbal teas and fruit teas, religious stuff

I do like patterned/colorful papers, scrapbook stickers, etc, but keep in mind I don't actually DO scrapbooking!
