I really enjoy a plethura of music. I like Rock, Classic Rock, A little country, (depends on who,and what the song is about), Hip Hop/Pop, Jazz, Soul, a little Bluegrass. Like I said, lots of music!! Two favorite songs of all time are Hotel California(The Eagles), and In the Air Tonight(Phil Collins).

Well I really love non-fiction crime novels. Greg Iles is my favorite author. James Patterson, Steven King, just like my taste in music, I like alot of books! A Million Little Pieces was also a good book, despite the way the author behaved. Right now I am reading Twilight....I love Ann Rice(noone writes like she does) however, with all the hype I will give Stephanie Meyer a shot.

Not a big movie buff!!! I can get alot done in two hours. But when I do, my favorite movie is the Shawshank Redemption. I like anything with Adam Sandler, Bruce Willis, or Steven Seagal in it. Anything with Marilyn Monroe in it. I love her!!

Now T.V. is different. I love all my crafty shows on HGTV and DIY. Love the CSI's, Law and Order's, House, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, One Tree Hill, and those few sitcoms that are actually funny. Do not really enjoy reality T.V., for I feel like I have enough of that at home! Like my soaps, when I'm not crafting and want to escape.

I like crafts of alll genres. ATC's are a new fave. Jewelry and fashion however are my all time fav's. Scrapbooking and ATC, and various other paper crafts are right there on the list as well!! *********RANDOM********** fabric~ribbon~scrap paper~sharpies~markers~pens~crayons~red~, green~black~white~gray~monochromatic schemes~stars~swirls~doodles~scribbles~handwritten items~handmade everything~coca cola~marilyn monroe~anything vintage~lace~stickers~shapes~monograms-TMM~coffee~JEWELRY~BEADS~pictures~retro items~I'm not hard to please!!!~

Well there is one more thing that has been drilled into my head throughout my time here at Swap-Bot. There is this thing with slapping stickers on things. I have something to add into that, I have been collecting stickers for well since I was born, so I have an extensive collection, I will usually only use them to embellish, but sometimes I use that sticker(that one really great one) to base the whole project off of. So with that said, I thought that I would add that in there. It's never a slap a sticker on and send...althought I have recieved a couple like that. I'm not a stickler on the rating process. I will rate poorly if it didn't come or was completely off base. However, art is how the artist incorporates there own thoughts and beliefs, and just because I may not particularily like it, I didn't make it, so I try to always rate fairly.

I have two wonderfully mischievous cats, a brother and sister, named Taz and Spaz. We have one jack russell/lab mix, named Brownie. In about 5 weeks we will be getting a pittbull/american bulldog mix. Yea!!!

So about my love for Marilyn Monroe? I collect all things Marilyn, and Coca Cola memoribilia. There is just something about her, I know she had a bad rap(Believe me, I have read just about every piece of literature on her). I guess it's the unexplained mystery that surrounds her that keeps me intrigued. Not to mention her exceptional taste, and love of fashion.

Favorite colors are green, red, black, and white,grey and any neutral color. All colors really, I can't just pick a few. I try but...my attempts are futile. Color is my life!!

Last but not least I have two more loves, Jewelry, and Fashion. Anything and everything that surrounds them. Love to sketch, draw and design. I'm a big time doodler!! I keep all of them so don't be surprised to see some of my doodles on the projects!!

I am on a mission to get some dark sapphire beads, dragonfly items, and vintage charms.....wedding embellies!!!! Need, Need, Need all those I can get for upcoming projects!!!

        ^However, not a requirement^

My daughter is 11yrs.old. She likes anything pink and black she is very punk/goth. Not into princesses or faeries, but everything else she would be sure to love. She is an aspiring fashion designer....very talented and smart young lady.

My son is 7yrs. old. He likes anything to do with racing, cars, and video games. Very easy to please young man....
