About Me

Hi! I am a 27 year old living in Southern California with my super sweet kitties, Oliver and Crash! I love to read, to blog and to craft!

I love animals of all kinds and have a bit of a bleeding heart when it comes to animals. I grew up in a house with 3 dogs and 6 cats, a parrot, 2 mice, 2 rats, 2 millipedes, and assorted fish.

I LOVE hot chocolate and chocolate candy. I don't like nuts or spicy chocolate.

I love swapping and I love surprising people with little extras and I really love getting things I can actually use.

Favorite Music

Something Corporate, Frank Sinatra, Tegan and Sara, Coheed and Cambria, Paramore, Rise Against, The Get Up Kids, Ani DiFranco, John Mayer, The Ataris, The New Amsterdams, Finch, Yellowcard, Thrice, One Republic, Unwritten Law, Tim McGraw, Toby Keith, Dashboard Confessional, From Autumn to Ashes, Journey, Jack's Mannequin and some other stuff.

Favorite Books

The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, The Archivist by Martha Cooley, Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, Bridge To Terabithia and Jacob Have I Loved by Katherine Patterson, Heaven Has No Favorites by Erich Maria Remarque, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, She's Come Undone and I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb. Poets: Eliot, Millay, Cummings, Plath, Rilke, Yeats, Whitman, Hughes, Wordsworth.

I also read fashion magazines, science magazines and my guilty pleasure is an occasional copy of In Touch/Star/US Weekly, etc.

Favorite Movies

Garden State, ALL of the BMW shorts, Awakenings, Gracie, Ghost World, Juno, 2 Days in Paris, Wristcutters, Kabluey, and Crash.

Favorite Television

House, Grey's Anatomy, NCIS, Drop Dead Diva, Glee, Mercy, True Blood, Desperate Housewives, Big Love, Burn Notice, Private Practice.

Favorite Crafts

I make cards, both by hand and digitally, and sell them on etsy. I also enjoy knitting and making garlands. I am learning how to crochet and how to sew, and hopefully, I will learn how to quilt one day soon. I am also practicing my baking skills, but I'm not at the sharing stage yet! :)

I'm also into photography and would be interested in swapping photographs. I love bokeh and polaroids and photos taken with holgas always look amazing.

  • paper, double or single sided
  • embellishments (feathers, sequins, brads, etc)
  • cardstock scraps
  • envelopes, especially in bright colors
