Im a mom of 4 boys. My boys play baseball so I have lots of sport themed pages in my journal/scrapbook. I play roller derby on my local team and am very athletic and active. I love to craft and sew. I collect buttons, greeting cards and Tea themed items. My nickname is Tea. I love teacups and teapots. I drink tea when I read. I love to paint my nails. Turquoise and Purple are my favorite colors though I rarely put the two together. My first job EVER was as a costume intern for a local theater company for the summer when I was 16. I knew how to sew then but I learned "sew" much more! It was the best, most creative, job! I love to do crafts at school with my boys and am a member of the PTO.

I like rock and country and pop...Most music really...Im not opposed to trying new things! I have favorites in every category.

Anything with a binding! I LOVE books!!!! I like JR Ward, John Green, Jodi Piccoult, Nicholas Sparks, C.S. Lewis, Lewis Carroll, Christopher Moore....the list goes on and on. I have a huge collection. :) Reading is my guilty pleasure. I love to collect interesting old books too. Some I rip up but a few I just keep. I specially love old crafting books. I frequent the Friends of the Library sale! We have a book exchange store too that is awesome for Vintage books.

I love Sons of Anarchy, the Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Vikings, True Blood, Sleepy Hollow, The Tudors. I like to watch Teen Mom 2 on MTV too...LOL. I watch all types of movies too and I have a fondness for Disney princesses, though my boys don't share that love...

I like to sew, scrapbook, work with polymer clay, smash in my smash book, create ATCs, paint, build, and crochet. I love vintage ephemera. I love to take pictures (especially with vintage cameras and polaroids) If it needs glue, staples, paint or tape, I probably love it. I love working with my hands to create. I love greeting cards. I enjoy making junk journals. I enjoy archiving my family's history (before my mom passed it was her passion so Im carrying that on for her) I have a paper problem. I love to give handmade gifts of all sorts. I have even dabbled in making body scrubs and lip gloss. I love inks and watercolors. I use chalk and oil pastels on canvas and get my boys involved in making art for our home. Im not the best at drawing but I can hold my own. Im really great at crafty solutions and frequently get asked for help from friends.I LOVE lace and doilies... I have a ton. My bestie works in a resale store so she grabs it everytime she can. I make hairbows too. So my house is overflowing with ribbon.

I love chocolate! My favorite food is spaghetti. I love campfires. If I could go anywhere, I would go to Australia. I want to travel and experience beautiful things! My favorite flower is a blue Hydrangea, with orchids and stargazer lillies right behind. I like to write with blue ink (working in a law office has done this to me). I am a Notary Public. I enjoy talking in legal jargon and explaining it to laypersons. If I could only wear one thing for the rest of my life it would be an overlarge hoodie (pullover not zipper). Coke zero is my favorite drink. I like to watch movies at night and drink a coke and eat cheezits.
