I consider myself a domestic goddess first and a collage artist second (other than wife and mom). Hitting the half century mark in November. I have lots of former classmates doing the same thing, so that makes it easier for me (found on Facebook). Been married 25 yrs to Brian and have one son Sean, a May, 2009 graduate of PSU. Homestate-PA.

Folksy rock like James Taylor (seen 4 times over the years-favorite since I've been 13), Bonnie Raitt, Kenny Loggins. I have tons of musical favorites besides the above-Enya, Linda Eder, Dan Fogelberg, Jewel, Hall and Oates,The Fray, Duffy, and many others! I have a Soprano singing voice and have sung in school and church choirs over the years. I can read music and play a bit on a keyboard. I can play the harmonica a bit too.

Love paper collaging, especially ATCs. I've made over 200 of them in 1.5 yrs. I like most kinds of crafts and will tackle anything!

Also do cross stitching-since I've been 19, so a while. I have sent at least 40 cross-stitched squares to a variety of orgs for sick kids who make quilts for the kids.

Photography-take photos almost everyday-mostly of my flowers and yard. My love for photo taking should be up near the top of my list. I have a Flickr account with 6,500+k images in it!

Will dabble in crochet, sewing and maybe try knitting again.

Love to do digital collaging and have made dozens of them for my desktop.

In negotiations with a former high school class mate about a children's book and maybe a gallery show!

Lots of layers! And...earthy stuff-nature related,vintage and retro kids, fibers, flowers, fairies, sparkle from a little glitter or rhinestones, your signature look, etc. I also like to get cards made with a beeswax process or transparency-anything neat and different. Stuff I don't like: ATCs that don't look like any effort was put into making them-messy or too much of a 'thrown together' look. I do like original ideas-like a 'play on words' with the theme.
