My Bead and Craft Patterns

Favorite Music

A very eclectic mix of: 30 Seconds to Mars, Chevelle, Dean Martin, Staind; Rob Thomas, Pavarotti (Opera); Accordion Music, Ukulele Music,Blues Harmonica, Breaking Benjamin, Rolling Stones, Patsy Cline, some songs by Slipknot, Bluegrass Music ...

Favorite Television

Dexter, White Collar, Psych, Southland, The Office, Closer, House, Human Target, Glee....the show Community is also one of my absolute favorites. Something I've also started to watch is America's Next Top Model; I am fascinated with the 'behind the scenes' part of making the models - the makeup, hair, scenery, photography...just having to watch those bratty personalities of the contestants is a bit tedious though!)

About Me

I am in Southern California, with my husband and teenage son. I work full time as a government drone, and teach art / crafting classes at night, plus design beading and craft patterns and tutorials. I am also owned by two dogs and five cats (five, way too many, but that last one was a little orange tabby kitten that showed upon on the doorstep!) I read any chance I get (books from the Library bag sale, so I never know what I'll find, but generally I'll read it all nonetheless...!) I like fishing and bicycling as outdoor things to do. I like gadgets and electronics, and video games like Guitar Hero!

If you like to peek at any postcards that I have sent or received through swap-bot, visit my postcard blog at: http://busycrowstudiopostcards.blogspot.com

Favorite Things:

Favorite Colors: Red, orange, purple, royal blue, pink Favorite Animals: Birds, Cats, Koi fish, Bears, Giraffes Favorite Tea: Earl Grey Favorite Off the Wall Thing: Dia de Los Muertos things such as skeletons! (my Boneyard blog is at: http://busycrowintheboneyard.blogspot.com/ )

Favorite Books

The Stand by Stephen King; Aztec by Jennings; The Lovely Bones, The Wife Ran Away by Fay Weldon.... too many books to mention; I love 'em all.

Favorite Movies

Independence Day; Men In Black; Soylent Green; Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Forrest Gump....

Recycling, and More

Please don't feel obligated to send extras; they're wonderful to receive, but I hope that's not the only reason we all swap, right? But, if you do: Tea bag Postcards (handmade or store-bought) American Flag Pins or American Flag anything....

About Me

Oh, Crow!

With feathers so dark
and a mind so bright, crows will fly
up into the night.

While looking down they will try to see
where they can find an opportunity.

In search of friend and in search of fun,
busy they will fly whether moon or sun.

-- Vincent Romero


My Art

I am an artist who loves bright, colorful graphics and working with mixed media, collage, inks and paint. I also love a mix of humor, reality and impossibility. Some of my themes may not suit everyone....such as my Boneyard residents.

I've received 2 of the 3 story postcards and I'm really looking forward to finding out the ending! :^) The cards are cute - thanks for making them for me.

Brooklyne on Sep 17, 2010:

Wow, you're a busy gal. I agree that that orange tabby had it coming to it. Showing up on the doorstep being cute. You had no choice but to take it in. ;)

I think Giraffes and birds are on the top of my favorite animal list as well. At least in the top five - cephalopods are amazing creatures!

I think it'd be fun to teach an art/craft class. I've considered it myself - only considered it. I think it's awesome that you do it.

<3 Read and Comment on your partner's profile! <3

theladylilac on Sep 17, 2010:

Thank you for the comment ! The pics are just random ones that I've done of myself :) I'm glad you like them. And he should have stayed in theatre !! I for all people know that there are a serious lack of males in my area. And YES there are TONS of amazing people in theatre !! We all have our stories - it's not easy making it through school etc as a thesbian. I'll think about a zazzle... I'm not really getting a lot of free time recently to be able to do anything extra other then class work.

Thanks for participating in my swap !!!

Hello there, I've never watched Dexter, but heard it was good. So I may have to start watching that to check it out. All my friends thinks that America's Next Top Model is dumb, but I love watching it. I would love to do something like that, as it looks like fun. I always love a bit of a challenge. I hope you have a great day. Huggles

hi i am your partner for read profile and make a comment. We have very little in common but your profile is very nicely filled out.

mutantpenguin on Sep 17, 2010:

Another fan of pink! YIPPIE! And I, too, love the jewel colors. They are mostly darker shades which I think enhances everything. Depth of personality AND color. (Yup, you have both!) How cool that you teach classes! I am not sure I would ever have the patience. I see all kinds of postcard swaps but can't ever seem to find any postcards around here. I will look on vacation. I like how you have your Wishpot wishlist displayed! I have a list but haven't touched it (or the Amazon one) in forever. Love these comment on your profile swaps because I get to meet such interesting new people like you! Happy crafting! - Lynn

Laynie on Sep 17, 2010:

Hi there! Im your partner for "Read and comment on profile swap". I loved the movie The lovely bones. It made me cry. I have not read the book, but I imagine its better than the movie. The stand is one of my all time favorite movies. Its extremely long, but a good movie! I enjoyed reading your profile. Audra.
