About Me

Hi there, I'm an addict to anything creative :) As you can see on my homepage, I'm a font designer and love to digi-scrap. But I also paint and draw, and I simply HAVE to try new creative stuff as soon as I hear about it.

Favorite Music

Mainly innovative artists like Jamie Cullum, James Morrison or Bjรƒยถrk. But I listen to all sorts of music except dumb stuff... I play the recorder, the saxophone and the musical saw.

Favorite Books

Anything by Stephen King, P.J. Tracy, Jeffrey Eugenides, and of course JK Rowling. So you could say I love thrillers and crime. I don't go for fantasy (except Harry Potter) or science fiction. Romantic stories are okay as long as they are beautifully written (for example by Cecelia Ahern), and I love comedy รƒย  la Monty Python or Hugh "Doctor House" Laurie.

Favorite Movies

Gosh, too many to mention. As long as the plot is original and the actors are convincing, I like to see any type of movie.

Favorite Television

I love Monk! And Navy CIS :) Other shows I won't miss: Desperate Housewives (I'm a little chaotic just like Susan, but without the love hassle), Lost, Dharma&Greg. I also watch shows like "Who wants to be a millionaire", that's my "soundtrack" when I do creative stuff.

Favorite Crafts

Anything with paper, especially handmade cards. Lately I'm much into ATC making and trying new techniques.

Favorite Quote

What lies behind us and what lies before us is nothing compared to what lies within us. (RW Emerson)

What I like...

  • ribbons
  • buttons
  • vintage stuff
  • interesting patterned paper
  • stickers
  • rubber stamps
  • cats
  • dragon flies
  • music
  • art
  • picture postcards
  • pressed flowers
  • craft punches
  • eyelets & brads
  • paper clips
  • the colors blue, green, earth tones, red, black&white, yellow and orange
  • creative typography
  • & much more

What I don't like so much...

  • fairies & other mystical winged creatures
  • too much pink
  • too much glittery stuff
  • horses (sorry, childhood trauma)
  • spiders
  • masks and clowns

Comment: Finally got the ATC's yesterday...and I loved them; the backs were as cute as the fronts. Thank you for the postcard too...I was in Germany in June, but missed Hamburg. Hope to come back.
Response: Hi Mary, I already wrote to you - it's the same as with the other ATC's; they should have arrived already. I'll send two more to you, as well.

Comment: Got them! Thanks so much! Everything was great. Love the ones from Stephen King. And the one experimenting with ink was very interesting, loving the colors. All of them are neatly snugged in books already. Hugs!

Hi Anke,

I was just wondering if you got my letter for the 20 Questions where I live swap? If not, please let me know and I will send you a copy. If you did get it, please would you mind leaving a rating for me?

Hope all is well with you :-)

Warmest wishes, Sam (sunnysidey) xoxo
