************I apologize in advance to all my swap partners. I am behind in my swaps due to my grandmother being in the hospital. She is very very ill and so I am spending a great deal of time with her on top of studying for finals for school the past week. Rest assured I will send out all my swaps and I promise I will not flake on any of you. Thanks for understanding*******************

I'm 24 years old. I'm an architecture student. I hope to do healthcare design especially focusing on Hospice/Skilled Nursing.

I love design, I'm a product design nerd as in if I saw some of my favorite designers I would just freak out like others do when they see celebrities, like "OMG-Is that Tord Boontje?"

I design furniture, lighting, housewares, Outside Christmas Displays in my sketchbook-maybe one day I'll get to do something with them.

My favorite style is art deco/glamour. I love Mid-Century Modern, but then I also like Shabby Chic and Indian and Middle Eastern styles.

My decorating scheme is black and white, with pink and aqua in the bedroom. My kitchen is red and yellow modern. The rest of the house is a mix of everything so I would call it a "well traveled" look.

For Christmas, I do tons of looks like all white and glamourous, or pink and retro, or just traditional.

I collect a bunch of stuff-probably too much: game pieces, crackerjack toys/charms, pop-up books, vintage craft books(who doesn't?), rhinestone brooches, snowflake necklaces, french magazines, small art pieces for the wall(I'm running out of space), tribal art work, anything handmade.

I have two cats. Their pictures are on my flickr if you like, they mean the world to me. I just love cats.

I don't like fur.

Blue October, My Chemical Romance, Gnarls Barkley, Rihana, Snow Patrol, Panic at the Disco, Blink 182, Kanye West, Outkast, Christina Aguilara, Justin Timberlake, The Killers, Fallout Boy

I like Disney movies like The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Fox and the Hound, I also like movies made in the 50's that have cool set design. Like Pillow Talk, or Made in Paris, or Easy to Love. I also love Film Noir like Rear Window.

Frasier, Lost, Futurama, Family Guy, The Simpsons, Colbert Report, The Daily Show, Star Trek---eek, I'm a nerd! I used to LOVE Cartoon Network when they showed Yogi Bear, Flintstones, Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Justice League..I could go on and on, pretty much the vintage stuff that isn't on TV anymore-they should make a network that shows just old cartoons. Wait-they did, and they ruined it so that males age 18-35 could watch clay figures and other wierd stuff....UUURRRGGHHHH

I like Christmas crafts of all kinds. Anything to do with decorating. I like to paint. I'm relearning crochet. I love sparkly things like sequins and glitter. I can't think of any craft in paticular that I do. I usually just look at my craft supplies and try to make up something in my mind.
