About Me

I am primarily a beader and love collage art and ATC's as well. Love vintage photos, muted colors and dark alleys (just kidding.) I love my garden, flowers, dragonflies and ladybugs. I drink green tea and chai and love anything chocolate. I'm a poet and collector of "junk." I used to have one junk drawer, now i have about 20 shoe boxes appropriately labled to contain my "junk." I love Japanese WASHI and other specialty papers. I have some papyrus that is sitting here waiting for a special project. I have a blog at www.artbydianne.blogspot.com where you can see my most recent artwork. I love purple and red, but not together. I also love earthy tones,browns, greens, rust, beige and black. I'm not fond of orange and yellow.
If anyone has me for a swap and they knit or crochet - I don't and I'd love to have anything you make for me! Especially something to keep me warm, i'm always cold.
I have pierced ears, prefer silver to gold, I really don't wear gold at all. I also like copper. I like hand made funky jewelry, that's mostly what I make as well. I'm not afraid of big. I love chunky necklaces and am not afraid of big/long/shiny earrings. I like all kinds of bracelets.
I love anything people have put their heart into, it shows. I love animals, i have 3 ferrets, 2 rats, a cat and my daughter has a hamster. I have two kids (my just teen daughter and my almost 7yo son) and a husband of 16 years. Well, he's not sixteen, oh my lord how i wish . . .nevermind, we've been together 16 years. He fishes, i craft. I love the beach, Cape May, NJ in particular and hope to retire there. I also love Maine, which is weird because I always knew I would even though I'd never been there till I was married 2 years. My husband has family there and ever since we've been going at least every other year on vacation. If it weren't for the winters I'd retire there. Ocean and Mountains, what more could one want?
I love to be outdoors and if i could figure out a way, would live outside all the time and never come in the house, but my craft stuff keeps blowing away. Bummer. If you haven't received your swap by the ratings date, please e-mail me. I am very reliable, as you can see below. If your swap hasn't arrived and you're overseas - it may take longer, one heavy package to Belgium lately took 6 weeks! I always send by the send by date. I will also promise to e-mail my partners before I rate them a 1 to find out if they've had a problem but I prefer if my partners let me know ahead of time if their swaps will be late. I am very forgiving, within reason for lateness.

Favorite Music

Favorite Movies

Comment: Hello Dianne, I apologize for being so slow in doing my ratings, but please know that it is nothing personal toward you. I received your ATC with the August Technique of Doodling exhibited on it. I really liked the way you used a black ATC card and then used gel pens to do your doodling. Reviewing all the other ATCs I received, you were the only one who chose to use that technique. I am looking forward to adding your ATC to my ever-growing and dynamic collection. Even more so, it will be a great addition to the more specific group of Technique ATCs. Thank you for sharing your creativity and talent with me through this swap. I know we will be meeting again at future swaps. I hope that you continue to have fun-filled and joyful swaps. Barb sleepingtraveler

Comment: Hello Dianne, Thank you for the beautiful July Technique ATC you sent me in the mail this past week. It shows clearly the beauty of this technique. I am looking forward to adding this to my personal and ever-growing ATC collection. As well, I will proudly add it to my technique collection which is within my larger collection. We have met on a number of occasions to swap. I know we will meet in the future. Until we do again--continued happy swapping. Until we meet again! Barb sleepingtraveler

Dianne was doing a swap for the Five Senses Swap, and she sent me a angel package because of my partner. I wish so much to give you a heart!!!! I loved the candy (hit my sweet tooth perfectly), the swede came in handy for a quilt block I was doing, the ATC was great (I added it to my collection), and your book!!!!!! I just love the poetry! You did an awesome, awesome, awesome job!!!!

What ever the star is, I think you deserve it. You did great! Thanks so much!!!!
