About Me

Member since March, 2007

I am 56 yrs. young :) eek!, have been married for 33 yrs. to a fabulous man and have 2 grown children (29 & 25). I live about 35 minutes outside NYC, a place I love to visit frequently (great musuems, shopping & restaurants, esp. Little Italy!) I have worked as a preschool teaching assistant for 4 year olds for about 18 yrs., before & during that time I also worked for an attorney out of my home. I love being on or near the water and I feel very fortunate that I have lived within 5-10 min. of the beach for most of my life. I love spending time walking there all year round! My husband & I love to travel as often as possible and hope to take a trip to Italy in the next couple of years, until then we will enjoy our trips within the states! (so many places to see!!!)

Things I Like:

*Angels *Fairies *Anything Mary Engelbreit *dogs *monkeys *Ocean, beach *miniatures *tea (green or black) *flavored coffees *hot cocoa *hot apple cider drinks *chocolate (esp. dark chocolate) *gummy candy *Craft books (esp. on rubberstamping, altered art) *cookbooks *silver jewelry (pierced ears) *funky pendants *candles (scented or unscented) *Toile (esp. black & white or red & white) *anything paisley *hydrangeas *gerber daisies *tulips *sunflowers *scented lotions (esp. vanilla or fruity scents) *good books (mystery, romance) *anything I can use in making atc's

Things I Don't Like: *gum *peanut flavored candy *really hard, chewy candy *things made w/wool (allergic) :(

Favorite Colors: Turquoise, Blue, Black, White, Silver, Red I really like most colors, but these are my favorites!

Favorite Flavors: *raspberry *lime *pineapple *coconut *coffee *strawberry *watermelon *orange *chocolate (esp. dark)

Favorite Music

Beatles, Rod Stewart, Rolling Stones, Elton John, The BeeGees, Carly Simon, Chicago, Billy Joel, John Mayers, Gwen Stefani

Favorite Movies

It's A Wonderful Life, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Pirates of the Caribbean, Keeping Mum, Across the Universe,P.S. I Love You, Mamma Mia(I just saw it, great movie!!) just to name a few.

Favorite Television

All the HGTV & TLC shows,Army Wives, Today Show, ER, House

Favorite Crafts

Rubberstamping is my passion, but I dabble in a little bit of everything...cardmaking, decouppage, I love making ornaments, magnets, pins, button fairies, etc. I am still very new at making atc's and art dolls, but I'm having a lot of fun with it. I just made my first dotee doll to send out in a swap, I can see where they can be quite addictive to make.... they just come to life as you are making them!! I'm sure that it was my first of many more to come! (I need to brush up a little on my sewing skills!!)

Comment: I am so sorry that I have not rated or contacted you before this. My computer died just after this swap ended. I have finally been able to get another one. I received your swap, and I loved your artwork. I have missed chatting with everybody on the site, and look forward to new and exciting swaps.Once again I apologize for the long wait on this.

Comment: What totally wonderful cards you made! Clever idea. do you have a cricut? I think there is a pattern that looks like what you made. I'm going to try it. I really like how yours came out! Thanks so much for the fish images! I'm really into fish these days - though my fishing buddy has already left for CA so I won't be doing that much more this year:-( And the rubber stamps are super too! Another set I didn't have from Studio G - and no place around here sells them, so thanks so much for sending!
Response: Thank you I am so glad you liked the cards I made! I just got the Slice for my birthday, and am having lots of fun with it!

Comment: Hi Dee! Great ATCs! Really!! I love the quote 'Enjoy the Journey' - this is something I think about every day as I walk my dogs... I am always wanting to get to the park, but for them...it's the walk that's fun regardless of where we end up. Two really beautiful ATCs...thanks so much for the rhinestones too!

Comment: Wow! Dee! You were too generous. I loved the art doll you made, it was gorgeous and I love the fact that she was a murmaid. Here little rhinstone belly button was too darn cute! The extras were very much appreciated. Each one was straight from my profile and I love them all, the swirly rub ons, the pretty butterfly stamp (hadn't seen that one before, it's gorgeous!) and the tiny paper flowers. You are Awesome! Thanks for making this swap extra special for me. Have a great day!
