Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the origin of meaning. ♥ C. S. Lewis

Hi, I'm Ingrid! I am a long time scrapper and art journaler. I love all things girlie and the more glitter...the BETTER! Art makes everything better...it makes my heart swoon!

It doesn't get better than...

God's love

traveling

pink

glitter

vintage gypsy chic

cruises

peonies

mixed media

art journaling

milk chocolate and caramel

woodland animals

nautical/ocean

malbec wine

paper crafting

not so much...

country decor

pagan propaganda

nothing too dark or scary

i adore...to travel, surprises, music, DANCING, books, happy mail, last minute plans, open mind, photography, craziness, spontaneity, going out (but also staying in), sharing, simplicity, respect, flip flops, high heels, dreaming

I have two little ones that keep me quite busy. If we are not schooling then we are off to fun field trips and play dates with friends. We also all love to draw and paint....and pretty much do any craft. I come from a long line of crafters and artsy folk. My grandmother dabbled in everything from knitting to painting. My mom was a c.l.o.w.n. once, she can face paint and even make balloon animals (but swords are her favorite) ;)

I began my artful adventures with scrapbooking and as I was on the heels of the latest trend, I taught myself to sew. From that I began a clothing business (but I really like creating for myself more than running a business...it sucked up my creativity) so it was back to the beginning. I {LOVE} art journaling, paper crafting, and working on mini albums {SWOON} ....and here I am at swap-bot, and...

** i never knew mail could make me so happy!**

I live in sunny (and sometimes rainy) (and always humid) florida and I ADORE it here! I have lived all over, but I am happy to call Florida home. There is nothing like the feeling of the warm salty air and sweet sunshine on your nose!

80's music rocks!...especially but not limited to the psychedelic furs, orchestra maneuvers in the dark sprinkled with some prince

loud indie music is what you will most likely hear blasting in my car

have you heard of edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros? yep...i love them as well

i also {LOVE} to dance, so wether it's country, rap or pop, i enjoy it ;)
