About Me

Ever Mind The Rule Of Three;
Three Times Your Acts Return To Thee..
This Lesson Well All Wise Do Learn
One Only Gets What One Does Earn

I live on a small farm is SE Indiana, and I love the country. The farm I live on is about 4 acres and I get lots of deer, wild turkeys and other "wild" visitors.

I am a downhome grandmother of four. I usually have my grandkids with me all weekend, and besides fishing in the pond, feeding the animals and working in the garden, we go on trips to the aquarium, to the museum, and to the zoo.

My hobbies include reading, cooking, gardening and crafting. I love taking photos and am rarely without my camera. I am also an avid reader and usually go through 3-4 books a week and 2-3 books on tape. I am also taking classes at a local community college to earn a degree in Business Management.

I love yard sales and go to the flea market every Wednesday morning. I love rooting through the stuff and finding those amazing treasures!

My favorite colors are soft purples, greens and blues. I do NOT like strident or neon colors. I like soft floral scents or scents like fresh rain, ocean breeze or clean linen. I do not like heavy earthy scents or the smell of vanilla.

My favorite flowers are lilacs, lilly of the valley and lavender. I love the spring when all the flowers begin to bloom and I bring masses of them into the house to savor the scent.

Favorite Television

My current favorite TV shows are Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen. They are the only "reality" shows I watch. Other shows I like include House, Grey's Anatomy, The Office, The Closer, Monk, Bones, & Desperate Housewives. I also love BBC TV, especially Hamish Macbeth, Jeeves & Wooster, All Creatures Great and Small, and of course, Dr. Who. MY FAVE FAVE OF ALL TIME IS A SERIES CALLED "DEAD LIKE ME". If anyone has CDs of seasons 1 & 2, please contact me if you would like to swap.

Wishlist

Anything fun you think I might like!

Pearl Ex powder (small samples of different colors)

Push molds with faces or body parts on them.

Anything with Goldfish or Koi on it or shaped like a goldfish.

Acrylic (unmounted) stamps and stamp pads.

background or texture stamps

A sample of Diamond Glaze

Dragons, owls, hedgehogs and mermaids

Collage sheets (digital or hardcopy)

Small charms or beads, especially in mermaid colors or with a mermaid motif.

New crafts

I started making mini shrines, and really like it.
I am trying my hand at making goddess pins and dolls.
Dotee Dolls are super!
I have begun crocheting again whenever my fingers cooperate.
Matchboxes have taken over my life!
Row Houses and skinnys are the Best!
Can you tell I'm willing to try new things???

Favorite Books

I love to read and read 3-4 books a week, as well as 2-3 books on tape. My favorite author is Anne McCaffrey. Sadly, she is not writing any longer, but her son Todd has begun to continue her most popular series, "The Dragonriders of Pern". I also like a lot of Mercedes Lackey's books. Terry Pratchett is also a favorite, I love his "Discworld" series and the spinoffs. I also like Kerry Greenwood's "Phryne Fischer" series, which has just started to be republished in the US.

Keeping Track

Note: I pick up my mail on Friday only and rate as I am opening envelopes.

Stuff I owe

@MissMayhem - Cheap postage Group - she sent me scans of a Tarot Deck and I want to send her something special in return.

My Daily Prayer

Great Goddess, whose voice I hear in the wind, who breathes the breath of life to Her children, Hear Me; I need your strength and wisdom. I seek strength, not to be greater than others, but to fight my greatest enemy, the doubts within myself. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you teach your people and my ears sharp to hear your voice.

Help me to remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes toward me. Help me seek pure thoughts and act with the intention of helping others. Help me find compassion and walk in beauty. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock and respect the things you have made.

Make my eyes ever behold the sunset that comes before the beauty of night. Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes, so when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.

Comment: Thanks for a fun kit - I love the colour combination :-). I think you would have struggled to fit a bottlecap into the matchbox, but I was impressed by how much you *did* manage to cram in!
Response: I was afraid to make the illustrations too small to see the details. But I have bad eyesight so maybe it's just me! Thank you again for a fun swap.

Heidi - I love your daily prayer! May I use it? I would like to add it to my BOS and share it with my coven sisters. These are words we try to say every day. Also, I love what you said about your greatest enemy, that's so true! I've been working and acknowledging this enemy for many, many years now. I think we have a peaceful relationship. At least she doesn't pop up as often any more. gentle smile
