Bups

Happily married, mother of one wonderful, wildly annoying son.

I live in Ontario, Canada.

I'm a writer, a quilter, a crafter, a watercolour artist.

I am lazy, I like to vent, I am argumentative, I am a procrastinator, I am opinionated.

I love life.

I do contract work as a Technical Writer (that means I document stuff for projects or write stuff that no one actually reads, like manuals).

I love to be with friends and family.

Also Mom to a 3 yr old Boston Terrier, Peanut. I've become one of those "My dog is my baby" crazy people that I used to laugh at :)

Looking forward to meeting fun people from all over the world via these swaps.

Have participated in swaps on other blogs before - they are great fun!

Love to crochet, quilt, sew and used to paint watercolours & cross-stitch.

Since joining swap-bot, I have tried my hand at making ATCs and am LOVING it!

I like inches if the mood strikes - I just think I like ATCs better.

Just got into rubber stamping and really enjoying it as well.

Just created my 1st Art journal and enjoying working in it - it is a less "controlled" type of art than I am used to, but still fun :)

Classic rock, some pop, some country.

The Doors are my favorite group.

The Eagles, The Stones, The Who are also well liked.

Currently liking Adam Lambert, Katie Perry, Pink

Hate Rap, Hip Hop, Alternative, Opera.

GLITTER Urgh! Please no glitter - my table, sofa, and dog shouldn't sparkle!

Felt food - sorry I just don't understand their purpose (I don't have small children)

Fiber art - not sure what to do with it.

Ignorant people.

Cutesy stuff (Hello Kitty) If you think it is cute, I probably won't like it. If a 6 yr old would like it, I probably won't. I just don't do CUTE (thx)

Abstract stuff - If I can't see what it supposed to be...that doesn't mean I don't like collage, I do, just with something distingushable added.

Umm stuff similar to A Nightmare before Christmas or Coreline...not sure what that is called, but I don't like that style.

Stickers/foam shapes/sequins and other plastic cutouts - have no use for these.
