I am a daughter, a sister, a grand-daughter, an aunt, a niece, a cousin, a friend, a young girl, and a grown woman. Confident and scared, terrified and excited. Loving, caring, thoughful and hopeful. Sick and tired; shy and friendly. Careful and careless. Broken and whole; misunderstood and mislead. Hardworking and determined, but a little scared on the inside. Wish on stars and dream big. I pray to God and cry my tears. Smile on the outside while dying on the inside. Listen to others who won’t listen to me. Walk on eggshells and walk on fire. Believe in passion. Believe in true love but will push away if I feel you’re not true. I want to be close to someone. I am everything and nothing all at once and all I want is to be loved!

Pop, country, contemporary christian....anything really other than rap and techno!

I LOVE to read!!!!

Some of my fave authors are;

Cecila Ahern Jodi Piccoult Meg Cabot Jennifer Weiner Laura Weiss Lolly Winston

Any Audrey Hepburn...Breakfast At Tiffany's is all time fave!! I also love Gone With The Wind. Current movies are groovy too! I like dramas, comedies, suspense (not horror!) and docu-drama.

John & Kate + Eight, Little People Big World, Big Give, Super Nanny, Wife Swap, American Idol, Law & Order:SVU, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, anything on the travel channel, TLC, Brit-coms on PBS.

Knitting, crochet (amigurumi), bracelet/earring beading,scrapbooking, drawing & writing.

I am new to both knitting and crochet, I have made a couple of scarves & a cute little handbag for my niece. I am presently working on cute amigurumi penguin pair for my brother.

Journals, fountain pens or unusal ball point pens (any color), unusal or antique knitting needles, butterflies, angels, asian fans, candles (not overly scented), Unusal/funky Ribbon, Letter L decor or pendants/pins, Stickers/decals, Hello Kitty (for nieces), chunky/big rings (sz 8/9), handmade beaded bracelets, ornamental crosses, destination iron-on or sew patches, brooch/pins, Handmade badge/buttons, handmade hair clips (for niece), a morsbag and anything shabby chic.

Office supply & hobby/craft shops make me giddy, my spirits immediately lift when I walk in. The smell of clean laundry is intoxicating, I adore lip balm and lip gloss, Tic-tacs, Strawberry Pocky (japanese biscuit sticks), postcards of any of the world wonders, Inspirational quotes on anything handmade, Chai tea, japanese gummy candies and chupa-chup & dum-dum lollies.

Not many....coffee (can't drink even though love the smell of it brewing), chocolate and cigarette smoke makes me ill.
