About Me

I'm currently trying to set up an etsy.com store to showcase and sell my photos and photo notecards. Look out for MiCoCreations. send me a email at MiCoCreations@gmail.com if you want to know what I'm offering.

I'm 37, Married 8 years. We have 2 four legged kids/cats - Mimi & Coco we are 1.5 years.

Hobbies: aside from anything crafty---reading, photography, cycling, traveling, cooking, baking.

I would love to learn how to properly garden. I do not have a green thumb and have managed to kill the easiest of houseplants---cacti! I'm trying---but no success ...yet.

Cat Lover. Fave colors: blue & yellow, Love chocolate-dark especially. I love sugarless gum-Orbit is my fave- I'm not a fan of spearmint. Tea drinker. I don't drink coffee. Hot Chocolate sometimes. I collect: owl stuff, butterfly stuff, snowmen stuff, fabric, buttons, stickers, postcards. I love candles. I still write letters and send out cards. I really enjoy expressing myself with a pen & paper. Favorite flowers are carnations & tulips. I also enjoy shopping-mostly for others. I try my hardest to find practical gifts and I really try to get to know someone to find out their likes/dislikes.

What I read: I generally choose my books based on its cover or title. I do like and follow some authors, but I mostly read fiction, books that turn into movies of which I prefer to read the book first. I am also drawn to British Authors-I like the writing style/wit.

I like Lilian Jackson Braun, Rita Mae Brown -Cat Mysteries. Nancy Fairbanks & Joanne Fluke -Food Mysteries. Earlene Fowler-Quilt related Mysteries. I enjoy chick lit/romance. I also like VC Andrews--that's about as dark/twisted as I go. Devoured the entire Harry Potter series. Not a fan of Danielle Steel.

Favorite Music

everything-sinatra-grateful dead-ella fitzgerald-billy joel-depeche mode-aerosmith-rascal flatts.

Favorite Movies

romantic comedies, in general. but i can watch young frankestein, shawshank redemption, harry potter, casablanca over and over.

Favorite Television

all law & orders, CSI, criminal minds, big bang theory, monk, flashpoint, most anything on hgtv, diy, tlc, create, style. Most reality TV shows---latest ones--Project Runway, Tabitha-Salon Takeover, Top Design. Favorites-Survivor, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Big Brother.

Favorite Crafts

Cross stitching, rubber stamping, paper crafts, beading, fabric crafts, photography-film & digital.

ATC's have now added to my repetoire.

I would love to learn how knit & crochet.

Comment: I loved your note and all that you're reading. We sound very similar in our love for reading! I also love the book marks. My Mom always said paper clips make the best bookmarks - I'm going to give her one of those - they're great. Great idea with the card too! Thanks so much:)

WOW!!! What a wonderful surprise I recieved in the mail. Thank you so much for angeling the thrift swap. You truly spoiled me. I love it all, especially the sunflower note cards. We do have many things in common, I am new to photography, and hoping to be able to get a few great shots like your note cards.. Thank you again for being so thoughtful. Happy swapping, Connie
