Wow! It's been almost four years since I've been on here! So much has happened since then. O.O

Most of my likes and dislikes are the same, so thankfully I won't need to update my profile much, but one huge huge change is that I, after 18 years with my husband thinking we couldn't have children, just had a baby!

(Somehow, when I edited this section of my profile, the explanation for the 3 disappeared. In 2013, before taking a break from the page, a letter went missing and I didn't know about it until I came back. The 1 was resolved to a 3, but I was unable to do anything to bring it up from there.)

I Especially Love These Things:

No popular US brands like Lipton, Tazo, Stash, or Celestial Seasons, etc. In other words, if I can buy it at Walmart, please don't send it to me.

• Things from Japan or South Korea

Books/Pages, Newspapers, Magazines, Manga, or Manhwa written in Japanese or Korean, and Tea, Coffee, Sweets, Cosmetics, or Cultural Souvenirs. (Clippings are ok here)

• SPOOKY stuff

The more macabre the better. Think horror, hauntings, abandoned insane asylums, poltergeists, gore, zombies, possessed dolls, rusty medical instruments. If it scares you or creeps you out, great! Halloween, but keep it scary or interesting! Vintage is a plus. Just no super bright colors or sappy dollar store kids stuff :p

I love realistic skeletons, books on real hauntings, creepy or goth-ish stickers and small scrapbook embellishments. When in doubt, go for goth stuff. Creepy is good. ;) Cute and creepy is good, too.

I have a recent obsession with Ouija Board stuff, my house is full of them, from my computer desk to my pillow cases and everything in between. This theme is always appreciated!

• Vintage Themed Fabric

I make dresses out of handkerchiefs, and I like to make drawstring bags and tea wallet type things, too.

• Classic Cartoon Fabric

The cheap, thin stuff is fine for this) My little pony, The little mermaid, Care bears, Sailor moon, Strawberry shortcake- those kinds of things.

• Lace

Venetian, Cluny, Eyelet, or Embroidery. Please no stretchy nylon or scratchy raschel.

• Themed Stationary

I love vintage, horror, tea and cake, kawaii, and postage type themes.

• Pocket Letter Sleeves I'd like to start swapping these, and could use a few sleeves to start with. This would make an awesome extra if you have a spare one laying around!

Favorite Characters and Themes
