About Me

I'm a 30-something mom of two - a boy and a girl. I've been married for 11 years, and we've lived in the same small town for nearly that long! We actually live in a church which my husband and I converted to a home right after we got married.

Red is my absolute favorite color. I collect pincushions and vintage sewing gear. I also love anything vintage and quirky. (I'm the crazy woman at the auction who will buy an item that no one else wants for a dollar!) Toys from the 80s make me happy, especially Hello Kitty, Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony & Rainbow Brite! I'm just discovering kawaii and quickly becoming addicted.

My son is 6 years old and very into all things dinosaur, reptile and shark.

My daughter is just a few months old, so we're not sure about her interests yet, although she does love her Hello Kitty stuffie.

We have three cats - Lucy, Winnie & Cheeto Burrito. We also have 3 hermit crabs and a handful of fish. I'm pretty much a sucker for a stray, but am currently at my husband's limit for furry babies!

Favorite Crafts

I am an avid seamstress and enjoy creating things for my Etsy shop as well as for gifts. My sister and I also work together to have a couple of booths at craft shows each year.

I have been scrapbooking since 1995 and absolutely love it! It's the one hobby I've found (other than sewing) that I haven't grown bored with after a year or so.

Recently, I was introduced to needle felting and really enjoy it. I haven't done a lot but I'm hoping to have more time for it in the future.

This past year, I taught myself to crochet and am busy practicing my new hobby.

Favorite Books

I read constantly and will read almost anything except horror, non-fiction and biography. (Unless those are about a subject that really interests me.) Historical fiction is probably my favorite, but I can't turn down a good chick lit read, either!

The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich is one of my favorites. I also have to admit to loving the Twilight series.

Favorite Television

I don't watch too much television. I'm pretty busy doing other projects or reading most of the time. However, I do get a kick out of Pawn Stars.

Things I Love

Stationery - Hello Kitty - Red Stuff - Scrapbooking Supplies - Ribbon - Colorful buttons - Strawberries - Gnomes - Fun Office Supplies - Stuffies - Handmade Stuff - Magnets - Pin Cushions - Vintage sewing stuff - Stickers - Decorative hair pins - ATCs & ACEOs (but I don't make them myself!) - Strawberry Shortcake (the old school version) - Red/Black - Citrus colors - Needle felted creations - milk chocolate - Tootsie Roll pops - monkeys - elephants - cats - green apple scent - Dotees - new non-tourist postcards (I just joined Postcrossing) - Littlest Pet Shop - non-wool worsted weight yarn

Things my SON loves

sharks - fish - whales - sealife in general - dinosaurs - Godzilla - science - drawing - crafts - office supplies (seriously)

Things my DAUGHTER loves

Okay, she's only a few months old, so we don't really know yet, but her room is decorated in a non-disney fairy tale forest theme. Lots of gnomes, fairies, mushrooms, etc. Her room is dark green and ivory with dark red and pink accents. I am also trying to encourage a love for Hello Kitty. :)

Dislikes

clowns - Disney - neon - tea - coffee - super-frou frou stuff - spiders - nail polish - chewing gum - lotions (I forget to use them)

Comment: Holy cow! What a terrific bunch o'postcards! I LOVE them, all. I would tell you which is my favorite, but....they're all just too cool. But, I think the Red Dragon one edges out the others ever so slightly :-) Wherever did you get such a great collection of PCs? I am jealous. I have had a horrible time finding non-"touristy" ones. Thanks so much. They're all special.
