About Me

I am Amy....and I love to make things. I am a married, stay-at-home mom of 3, DS-15, DS-14, and DD-10! I have lived in Virginia for nearly 2 years though I was born and raised right outside of Pittsburgh...go Steelers!! I lived in Central PA for a long time and still miss it sometimes. In addition to being big into crafting I am a belly dancer and a fire dancer!

Favorite Music

I like a lot of different types of music....top 40, rock, and anything I can belly dance to. I've been listening to the Sirius station called Octane quite a bit lately.

Favorite Books

I love to read...my faves are Tess Gerritsen, Sue Grafton, and James Patterson. Some friends of mine started a book club recently so I have been reading different things than I might otherwise choose which has been good.

Favorite Movies

I love foreign films...movies with subtitles, particularly French films. I watch too many movies though and lots of different kinds. I like action movies more than most of my friend because I have watched tons of them with my hubby. It's easier to just watch them than fight over boy vs. girl movies. Movies I could watch over and over are Love Actually, Legally Blond, 10 Things I Hate About You and A Knight's Tale.

Favorite Television

I love Law and Order, CSI, Project Runway. Beyond that I just watch wayyyy too much tv. I am a sucker for home improvement, decorating and organizational shows mostly because I need one to come here...lol. A guilty pleasure show I love is Nip/Tuck.

Favorite Crafts

I haven't met a craft I didn't like.....I like some more than others: beading, scrapbooking, art journaling, knitting and crochet, new to altered art and ATC's and loving it!

My faves

Sparkly, wearable art, knitting and crochet, butterflies, silky fabrics, jingles( think coins not bells), belly dancer chic, altered items, ATC's, kids art, bright colors but not rainbows, anything purple.

Not my faves

I am not into cutesy, fluffy, precious moments type stuff! Definitely NO snakes and NO spiders. I only like animal print in moderation! I am NOT into witches, Halloween, or anime so please don't send me any items including these!

Comment: This is a very good shadowbox, can't tell that it was your first one. I do like the theme. I've have always been concerned about the environment and its really a big thing in this area. We have such a beautiful environment and the developers are really bent on destroying it, so its a battle to keep it. I like the crocheted bag too. My mom used to crochet bags from plastic grocery bags like that. They all got worn out from use though so I don't have any of hers.

Comment: I am deeply touched by the attention you gave to my profile to create this amazing piece of art. I absolutley love it and will treasure it forever. You said that the collage "was a learning process", as far as I'm concerned you nailed it. If I could give you more hearts I would because I love it so much.I'm going to hang it in my office. As for Rachel's collage, lucky, lucky me it's beautiful and happy, I love it, she did a great job.I was so happy after I opened this beautiful package.Thanks to both of you. I'm going to pm you with a seperate thanks to Rachel because I think she deserves it. I hope I get to swap with you again sometime. Peace, Pat

Comment: OMG!! I love, love, LOVE the fireworks! I hope we do this swap again, because everything turns out so interesting. I'm really impressed with your images. I'm going to have to change the paper I'm printing on to something closer to what you're using, because your images just came out fabulously. Thank you so much!
Response: I'm so glad you like your ATCs. I have tried sooo many times to get good fireworks pics so it's especially gratifying that they are your fave. As for the printing, paper, etc...I had them printed at Walmart. Go figure, huh?
