Manic vintage magpie.Quirky in general. A bit dark, sarcastic. I really regret giving my entire cache of craft supplies away (5 garbage bags full) when we had to downsize to a smaller place.Thankfully, the generous members of SB have helped replenish me back to hoarder status! I love to cook and make a mean hummus. I love animals and am lucky I work in a dog friendly office.I worked in the cosmetics dept during college and am still a makeup junkie . I have a thing for piling on vintage jewelry. I'm trying to learn how not to kill the herbs I've planted. UPDATE: herbs officially dead.

I wish I could sew and do needle crafts. I like to buy thrift store dresses, no matter how ugly they are, and make them super cute. I got the inspiration from the "New Dress A Day" blog. I would like to take wood block, letterpress, and book binding classes. I love ink on paper.

Please play nice. If you didn't receive something from me that you were supposed to, please PM me.I never flake (i'm so all about karma), so it may have gotten lost in the mail.If this happens I will do my best to get a replacement to you. Also, I always rate and would appreciate it if you would do the same. If I leave a group it's me, not you. I prob haven't participated and don't wanna clog up space for someone else.
