About Me

badge If you are missing a rating from me, please let me know! I tend to wait a long time just in case something gets lost in the mail, and sometimes time gets away from me. Please feel free to send me a message if you think I should have gotten something by now!

I used to swap/pen pal a lot when I was younger and am still addicted to receiving and sending mail.

I LOVE the San Jose Sharks & #16, Devin Setoguchi, is still my favorite (I don't care that he was traded years ago).

I'm a picture hoarder. I "collect" photos (of everything, especially crafts!) and graphics from online as inspiration and take tons of photos myself. My favorite subjects to photograph are clouds, cemeteries and my dogs, though if you hand me a camera expect me to transform into the paparazzi--I'll take photos of just about anything (except people...groups of people make me nervous & I refuse to be "the photographer" at parties, even family functions!).

I write a LOT--which explains my love of writing supplies. The start of a new school year still gets me excited to stock up on notebooks and pens. I have tons of journals, stationery & cards.

My Christian faith is very important to me and I am currently fascinated by people's spiritual gifts.

Current Challenges

  • En Masse Journal 2016 (ala Shannon Green on YouTube)
  • Tim Holtz's Creative Chemistry 101/102/103 classes (103 is completed!!)

I do a little bit of everything! And am willing to try almost any craft at least once. I know I haven't listed everything here

  • Kumihimo
  • Paper beads
  • Paper crafts
  • Scrapbooking
  • Making jewelry (esp. bracelets)
  • Journaling
  • Project Life
  • Travelers Notebooks (Extra Wide from FoxyFix is my favorite--equivalent to A5)
  • Random things I come across on Pinterest and want to try
  • Tim Holtz stuff

Favorite Books

Reading is a big part of my identity, just like crafting.

  • The Forest of Hands and Teeth series by Carrie Ryan
  • The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, * Pride & Prejudice and Persuasion by Jane Austen
  • Harry Potter series by JK Rowling
  • North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
  • The Little House on the Prairie Books by Laura Ingalls Wilder
  • Cassandra Clare's The Infernal Devices, The Mortal Instruments and The Dark Artifices series'

I'm a huge fan of anything post apocalyptic and dystopian. I love those Amish books that aren't really Christian novels but almost could be, as well as the Christian ones, and the Mail Order Bride books of the same kind (not the Harlequin romance novel type ones but the same kind as the Amish ones). And lots and lots of YA.

  • Favorite authors: Jane Austen, Carrie Ryan

  • I'm 100% Ravenclaw. The Goblet of Fire is my favorite book from the series, as well as my favorite movie.

Favorite Movies

  • Serenity
  • You've Got Mail
  • Cinderfella
  • Enchanted
  • 10 Things I Hate About You
  • The Slipper and the Rose
  • Say Anything
  • The Little Mermaid
  • Can't Hardly Wait
  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  • Harry Potter (Esp. Goblet of Fire)
  • The 10th Kingdom
  • Pride & Prejudice (A&E 1995) *Any Avengers movie (Hawkeye is my absolute favorite, Falcon and Captain America are a close second!)
  • She's the Man
  • Wall-E (my go-to movie to watch when I'm stressed to calm me down!)
  • Sense & Sensibility (A&E 2008)

I'll watch anything with John Cusack, Colin Firth or Sandra Bullock in it. I do love romantic comedy, chick flick type things. I cannot help myself.

Favorite Television

Currently Watching

  • Random videos on Netflix

Favorite Music

  • A little bit of everything
  • Backstreet Boys (seriously...KTBSPA!)
  • Thriving Ivory
  • Simple Plan
  • John Mayer
  • Jon McLaughlin
  • Josh Groban
  • Michael Buble

Favorites to Wear

  • Colors: Black, red, blue, grey, maroon

  • Style: My wardrobe leans on the darker side of things, leaning punk/edgy. Half my wardrobe is black.

  • Flowers: Think Regency/Jane Austen simplified kind of flowers/lace/style rather than a more flower/girly Victorian/Marie Antoinette

  • Jewelry: SPARKLES! I'm more of a rhinestone girl than a pearl girl.

  • I love metallic/rhinestones/holographic stuff. I don't mind my earrings or necklaces sparkling in the sun (as long as it doesn't blind other drivers!)

  • With that being said, my current favorite color is "rainbow." Yeah, I know.

Hoarding & Collections

I hoard

  • Craft supplies
  • Stickers
  • Journals & notebooks
  • Writing supplies
  • Paper ephemera
  • Anything relating to Jane Austen or England (I actually got to go to England a few years ago!)
  • Jewelry (esp earrings/necklaces)

I have several collections (I collect collections!)

  • Treesons - vinyl figures by Bubi Au Yeung
  • Doll collection - but just dolls I love, not just any doll! that includes Blythes, Robert Tonners, Disney Limited Edition dolls, Funko Pop figures and many others
  • Harry Potter collection - It includes books, Funko figures, jewelry, and an assortment of random Hogwarts items you can't live without
  • Wall*E collection - my favorite Disney character! (although Hawkeye is a close second since Disney acquired Marvel)
  • Manatees - I have a small manatee collection
  • Cuttlefish - I have a small cuttlefish collection, too--I love the ones at the aquarium!
  • Book collection - Books, journals, notebooks, bookmarks, and anything related to books!
  • Titanic - my main collection - I collect mostly the ship, though since the movie came out I do have quite a bit of movie items in my collection now. I also extend my collection to "Titanic-Like" things--if they have a Titanic-ish feel and it makes me happy to add it to my collection, I do
  • I also "collect" things on the computer, like inspiring photographs or graphics (Pinterest has made the hoarding worse). I used to make those little animated name .gifs and I love the pixelized animations.

Misc. Likes

  • Old-fashioned, Antique vintage or retro

Comment: Awesome list of songs! We listen to a LOT of similar songs! :) And I definitely felt the same way you felt at that Matchbox Twenty concert when I went to a Sara Bareilles concert - I loooove knowing almost all the songs! :)
Response: I have not gotten to go to a Sara Bareilles concert yet!! She is on my top 5 list to go see--I even had a discussion about wanting to see her when I saw Jon McLaughlin WITH Jon McLaughlin because he had toured with her! (I would die if I got to see both of them together!!) I am really going to love going through your list because of our similar tastes. That's my weekend plans--to sit and crafts and go through your list! :)
