I do not have a website, probably need one! Like facebook, tumblr (paperplaysusan), instagram are not enough to keep up with as well as trying to blog...

I quilt, scrapbook with my own twist on ways to alter scrappy ideas, make dolls of different types, tan hides, paint, make jewelry... I try to never limit myself on new things to try especially artistic crafty stuff. Wanting to learn smashbooking, love all the goodies. I am a washi tape freak... LOL love that stuff!! Still working on learning more and doing more art journaling ... the freedom of that is great yet intimidating. Also a writer, several genres and types. Prose and dark and twisty mostly, I also write humor and journaling type as well as working on my life story... I love books of old, Edgar Allan Poe, The Pet by Charles L. Grant, Clive Barker {night breed} {thief of always, mister be gone}, Stephan King most all... Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore. I am also a book whiffer, I love the smell of books. (only a true book aficionado would get this) Reading is another good past time, tho I have been slipping on an actual book be fully read, I am usually reading new techniques to art journal or paint or quilt...again I try to "toss the box out all together" that's better than just getting outside the box...

I am a "fid" mom too (mom to a feathered kid) I make her home made bird safe toys and jungle gyms too. She/he is a pineapple green cheek conure. The bird eats veggies with me from the garden. Any and all that I grew this year... sugar snap peas being our fav!!

should also mention I collect hag stones, beads, owl stuff, raven stuff, edgar allan poe stuff, I am addicted to papers (epherma) office supplies and the like...scrapbook papers and scraps of scrapbook paper (the challenge of using all my scraps on many different projects) LOL what scrapbooker art journalist isn't right?

I am learning to do the ATC sooooon as well as hoping to learn decos and friendbooks too ...love to buy old black and white photos of people too, I make up my own stories about who the were etc, no trouble entertaining myself!

Coffee is my drug... I love all kinds of coffees love trying new ones, creamer I am also addicted to creamer... (they are coming out with girl scout cookie flavors). I also love teas, earl grey is my fav... I am a huge fan of peanut butter cookies, bars and the like as well as apple turnovers.

I watch lots of movies when I am not crafting I love horror movies and scary stuff... Halloween is my fav holiday ever!!

I spook hunt, love supernatural stuff. I love all the history behind the haunted places and so on...

fav colors are purple any shade just about... greens deep and forest like... as well as turquoise, iridescent, pinks, oranges soft and bold but not neon lol ... there is not too many colors I don't like BUT PURPLE and CAMO are my most favs... then PINK is a close second!!

please don't send religious stuff, I am not a religious person. I am not into Disney characters , kawaii, childish stuff, I don't like primary colors, I don't listen to country music hardly at all... so I am out of that loop all together. I don't follow sports either! So plz don't send me your states mascot stuff... (postcards of your lakes or monuments is fine :) ) I am allergic to wool - I AM ALWAYS WORRIED THE WAY I WROTE THIS COMES OFF RUDE...

I love to take photos, I love sepia and black and whites... I play with several editing programs to add odd flair. Taking pics of scenery, my critters, odd things that other folks probly don't even see. I hope to buy a good camera soon and get deeper into my photo phetish lol (yes I know its spelled wrong)

I LOVE etsy... but I do not have a store
