Hi everyone,

My name is Ida and I'm completely addicted to anything and everything artsy!!! I'm happily married to my wonderful hubby, David and we have 3 children, Theodore, 24, Alyssa, 22 and Julian, 9, who is autistic. I enjoy papercrafting, playing with all media and just making stuff in general... I love the idea of swaps and I can't wait to join a few!! Lots of love xoxo

I listen to anything and everything. Life is not life without music!!! I will listen to Mozart as much as I listen to Pearl Jam. A few of my faves are: U2, bruno Mars, Linkin park, Mozart, The Cranberries, Alicia Keys, the Rolling Stones

Love movies to pieces. I'll watch everything and anything but lately I have been so disappointed because it seems like it's always the same stories and if you can guess what's gonna happen next, then you know it's been done before, a plot that's too predictable sucks!!! I'll watch anything with Andy Garcia, Jean Reno, John Cusack, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Meg Ryan, Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Susan Sarandon, Morgan Freeman, Don Cheadle, Cicely Tyson,... in it!

I love playing with paper and embellishments the most. I love painting, drawing (even though I suck at it!), scrapbooking, playing with clay, making soap, cooking, all kinds of stuff!

I'm into art journaling, stamping, project life, smash books, would love to learn how to sew my own clothes, I just love art in general!!!
