CupcakeDD

Updated 6/24/08

I'm a stay-at-home mom with two boys (almost 9 & 12).

I LOVE party-planning.

I guess my favorite colors are purple, mauve, pink, brown, green & black (in no particular order). Really like the combos pink/brown, pink/black, blue/brown.

Favorite animal: elephant

I'm a "retro/vintage" fan (40's, 50's & 60's) - love the fashion, art, ad art, decor... I'm also a fan of the ol' pin-up girls!

Love coffe & tea (collect unusual mugs/tea cups and also collect teas).

During the school year, I'm at Starbucks almost every day! Cinnamon Dolce Latte is my fav right now!

If I had to pick a favorite doughnut, it would definitely be a pink frosted doughnut (with sprinkles sometimes too).

I like candy!
♥ suckers
♥ fruit flavored candy
♥ cinnamon flavored candy
♥ retro candy
♥ gum

Love jewlery, vintage costume jewlery, purses & shoes. Love lip gloss & lipstick. Also a body lotion freak (scents: vanilla, coconut, coco-pineapple, lemon, peach...).

My friends call me a "crow" because I'm attracted to all things shinny or sparkly.

I love polka-dots too!

LOVE all kinds of music (not much into classical or twangy country). Right now I REALLY LOVE JOHN MAYER! James Morrison, MuteMath, Joss Stone, U2, Norah Jones, John Mayer...

I used to sing - now I hardly even sing in the shower!

I play the guitar, used to play the flute, and I'm REALLY good at playing the radio!! I ROCK at Guitar Hero II!!!!!

♥♥♥ Did I mention that I ♥ John Mayer??!! ♥♥♥

Swap-bot has brought out my inner-crafter!!

♥ Desktop publishing (I LOVE cute clip-art & unusual fonts).

♥ Have been known to make beads out of clay.

♥ Dabble with matchboxes and mini-crafts.

♥ LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE making ATC's!!

♥ REALLY LOVE crafting with vintage ephemera!

I pretty much like crafts that give me instant gratification (can be finished in one sitting).
I've tried to crochet, but it takes too long (I have about 5 half-done scarves sitting in my bag).

♥♥I am OBSESSED with Cupcakes!!♥♥

♥ Making them!
♥ Eatting them!
♥ Looking at them!
♥ Taking pictures of them!
♥ Making stuff that looks like them!
♥ Collecting cupcake stuff!

Love cookbooks (especially ones with LOTS of pictures)! Love baking and cooking Italian the most!

My favorite story growing up was, "The Little Mermaid". I LOVE Disney's Little Mermaid, but prefer the original story.

House, Chuck, Psych, Lost, Reality-tv, cooking shows, ANYTHING with Chef Gordon Ramsey

Princess Bride, French Kiss, Serendipity, Tommy Boy, Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride, Notting Hill, Big Daddy, Spanglish, Field of Dreams, Penny Serenade, LOTR, Almost Famous, Paint Your Wagon, Summer Magic, Little Mermaid, 50 First Dates, Elf, Raiders of the Lost Ark, School of Rock, Say Anything

Fav actors/actresses: Julia Roberts, Orlando Bloom, Sandra Bullock, Cary Grant, John Cusack, Jack Black, Hugh Jackman???????

... I'd be thinner!

... I'd have a maid. I hate to clean!!!!!!!!!

... I'd be more organized. If I was, maybe I wouldn't hate to clean so much!

... I'd have a bigger house with a pool. It's hot here in So Cal. and a pool would come in handy. A bigger house so I would have plenty of room and storage for party planning, baking, crafting, ORGANIZING.

... my boys would happy & healthy - never lonely or sad - slow to anger - confident.

... I'd have the perfect, storybook marriage. (Not that it's all that bad now.)

... My parents would live forever!!

... I could write music/songs.

... I would open my own coffee/dessert shop.
