Um, I don't know. What does a person say here?

I'm, like, the awesomest person I know. My friends are the most talented, amazing people in the world, and they are all inspirations to me. Last year I married a hilarious goofball who thinks he's so cool. But if you saw the video of him rapping "Bust a Move," you wouldn't agree. :) One day I will rule the world as a design/craft rock star, just wait and see.

Much to my hubby's dismay, I'm a shopaholic. I love STUFF. Typical girl, I love purses, shoes, and makeup (MAC, of course). But I'm also a geek. I love design, glasses, and computers (mac, of course.) I also have a very extensive collection of t-shirts. If i think it's funny, I can help but buy it. Even though most of them go unworn since I can't wear t-shirts to work.

I live the corporate life (designer for a pharmaceutical place), but that's just to pay the bills.

For swaps: I love candy and chocolate. I'm probably the unhealthiest eater. I like fun gadgets and toys. I'm having a townhouse built, which will hopefully be done in March, so new home items are great too. Craft stuff is fun. If anyone wants to buy me a new car, that'd be appreciated. Now that it's getting cold out, I could use some wintry items. I don't know, I'm not greedy. I just love mail!

To Make: Cards Cards Cards, anything paper-related, gift tags, books, and I just started making little felt thingies To Buy: pretty much any craft except jewelry, I'm not a big jewelry wearer; I'm obsessed with all things paper and i can't seem to get enough of blank books, even though I can't bring myself to fill them
