All About Me (and my quirks)!

Millie. Bob's Wife. Rachel's Mom. Balloon Lady. Mill-o-nator. Cookie Lady.

Those are just a few of the things I answer to and depending on the person, I may have more names. ;)

I'm a working mom with an amazing husband, too-smart-for-our-own-good daughter, three cats, and a dog in lovely Alaska.

I have the honor of making balloon animals and painting faces for a living and I hope to learn caricatures soon.

I love:

all kinds of crafts - crocheting, knitting, papercrafts, plastic canvas

baking - cookies, cakes, donuts, you name it. I will bake 12 dozen cookies just to bring in to an office. I also mail them occasionally.

foods - any and all foods, except those that are loaded with onions or blueberries

I'm crazy about tea - all kinds, but I love to relax with a good herbal or Earl Grey

reading - Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Ben Bova...sci-fi, fantasy, comic books - Archie comics are a weakness - anything!

writing - letters, stories (children's stories are my current favorite to write), poetry (yes, I even do haiku if the mood strikes me), postcards (I love postcard swaps and have a wonderful growing collection from Postcrossing)

music - I mainly listen to country (Blake Shelton, The Band Perry, Brad Paisley, George Strait, and The Judds are some of my favorites), oldies, and hard rock, but I love all music. I've been known to listen to classical music, nature sounds, and metal all in the same day

movies - you can't go wrong with a comedy. I've got too many favorites to list, but I love the 80s and the movies and tv shows. A good tear-jerker or horror (the make-your-skin-crawl-and-up-all-night movies) are nice once in a while.

animals - given that I have three cats AND a dog, most everything I own has fur on it. Do I mind? Not really. ;) I also love frogs. (So much so that I am running out of room for them. Knick knacks, jewelry, clothing...I've got it all and am always looking for more.)

Frogs are awesome.

Really...if it looks interesting to someone else, I'll jump on it because I'm also insatiably curious. ;)

I love learning about new cultures (especially food and language) and am a self-admitted geek.

I go bonkers over office supplies, yarn, or comic books. My husband calls it an addiction, but I can quit after just one more - hey! Look at that new color of yarn! I mean, I can quit after just - ooh, are those teardrop paperclips? Gasp! Hand shaped sticky notes! Squeeeeee!

I love making things for people and helping others.

Finally, I like to have fun! =) If you have any questions about me that I haven't listed here, just ask me! I am always looking for penpals or postcard swappers, but I'm not averse to an email swap either. :)

Comment: Thank you for the lovely parcel! Our little cat that has spent the last 16 years with us is rather poorly at the moment so the lively little cat stickers cheered both me and my mum up...we were trying to work out which one looked most like her! I love the buttons and the bookmarks too...everything is lovely and glittery! Thanks again :)
Response: I'm so glad you liked them! I've got three cats as well, so I got some for myself and was doing the same thing! hehe! I think I actually have something else to send you, so I've held on to your address and hope to get it sent out in the next week or so. (I had to hold back - oops). ;)

Comment: Thank you so much for the menus! The food sounded so wonderful. I love shrimp & there were a lot of shrimp dishes! I was shocked at the prices for Italian food, however, since I am half Sicilian. I guess the ingredients costs more to be shipped there - but WOW!
Response: Yeah, they can be spendy. It's about normal if you want decent food, though, and they're actually fairly reasonable. hehe. That should give you an idea of how expensive things can be up here. I love shrimp too. When I go to Lahn Pad Thai, I always get extra shrimp in my pad thai. ;)

Comment: Hi Millie! Thank you so much for your amazing swap! You really made my day with these lovely surprises! Love the cards and the envelopes, I have seen these treasurekeepers before! So adorable! My 7 yrs old daughter picked them out of the envelop but I took them back LOL!!!! The magnets and calender bookmarks are things I totally adore! Thank you so much sweetie!! Happy swapping, love Sacha
Response: You're very welcome! My daughter (who will be 8 in two months) does the same thing! "Oooh! Can I have it?" hehe! I'm glad you liked them!
