About Me

Please Note: I work from 6am to 6-8pm on Fridays and 6am to 6-7pm on Saturdays. Because of this, I almost never check SB on those days. If you try to contact me during that time and I don't respond, please check back Sunday morning.

I'm a 21-year old graphic design major in Texas. I live with my boyfriend and am trying to graduate soon. I currently work as a cake decorator in a small shop. I like to play Wii, read, and write letters. I love to travel, I've been to Germany twice. I love listening to Jason Mraz when I'm in my "art zone", and Traci Bautista is a favorite artist of mine. I'm a big geek-- I love to play video games and read about science. I like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and making ATCs.

Favorite Music

Jason Mraz, Jason Mraz, Jason Mraz... Nine Inch Nails, Lisa Hannigan, Flogging Molly, Michael Buble, The Killers, James Blunt, The Postal Service, Maroon 5, Sinatra, Weezer

Favorite Movies

Green Street Hooligans, The Lord of the Rings, The Italian Job, Pirates of the Caribbean, anything with Johnny Depp! A new favorite is Juno. I highly recommend it. I always love Jackie Chan or Jet Li movies, and I especially love Forbidden Kingdom (which stars both!). I've been buying a bunch of the older Disney cartoons (Little Mermaid, Aristocats, Sword in the Stone) so that when I have kids, they'll know there's an alternative to Hannah Montana and all of these computer animated movies.

Favorite Television

House, Nip/Tuck, Naruto(Japanese), Deadliest Catch, The Office(British), King of the Hill, The Real Housewives (guilty pleasure), Mythbusters, The Universe

Favorite Crafts

ATCs, scrapbooking, watercolor painting, collage, some photography, I recently got into acrylic and oil painting. A lot of the work I've been doing lately is watercolor pencil and ink. I've really been liking that medium!

If you're scanning my profile.

My favorite color at the moment is yellow, but I also like deep blue, bright orange, lime green and rich purples. I really like anything geeky or science related. I like ATCs that are heavy on typography, doodled, Asian, leaf or bird-themed, elephants, and cards that have thick bases (I don't know why, but I loooove thick ATCs). A new interest of mine is steampunk. I don't have any ATCs or other objects with this theme yet, so that would be sure to get a good rating! :) I don't want crosses, angels, or anything religious, please. Please note that I don't give hearts for little scraps of paper and stickers. I give hearts for excellent work or if the extra is something specific to my profile. I don't mean to be rude, but I feel people are just fishing for a heart when they send a tiny piece of scrap paper and a mediocre piece of art.

Things I like

  1. Plaid

  2. Science related things

  3. Anything to do with typography. I collect "movable type", the little metal letters they used to use to print newspapers and books.

  4. Owls

  5. Elephants

  6. Pandas

  7. Penguins

  8. Journals

  9. Leather

  10. Recycled paper

  11. Asian Themes

  12. The color yellow

  13. The color purple

  14. Nintendo (Yoshi is my fave!)

  15. Whimsey Jars (or any jars for that matter!)

  16. Picture frames

  17. Mailart

  18. Decorated envelopes (unused. I send a lot of mail to Germany!)

  19. Artsy roosters

  20. European chocolate

  21. Pencil bags

  22. Any kind of pens, but especially fountain pens! I love Lamy pens, so refills for those would be great.

  23. Hedgehogs

  24. Apples

  25. Mushrooms

  26. Things that don't match/have funky color combinations

Comment: Thank you very much for Agnes.I love the beads you made her tail from, very pretty. Are they old? Her hanger loop looks like a feather. Love all the fringe. I will take good care of her for you.
Response: Thanks! I'm so glad Agnes found a good home. The beads are not old (unfortunately), they just look like it. I thought the hanger looked like a feather too, but only after I put it on. Haha.... lucky accident. Thanks for the rating!

Comment: Not going to lie....I was really bummed you didn't "make" something as per swap requirements. HOWEVER, you saved my skin in another way! I'm going to alter the drawers for another swap and use the pretty sparkly paper as well. I am SUPER strapped for cash and needed to buy a wooden drawer set, so this works out ;) Thanks again!
Response: I'm sorry, I guess I had a brain fart and misunderstood the swap guidelines... I had two other swaps that went out at the same time that were sort of like, "put together a really nice package for your partner, use things to make them smile" etc. and they all went out on the same day and I guess I just lumped yours in with that without thinking. If you would like to do a private swap to make up for my oversight, I'd be totally willing to *make* you something this time. Just let me know. I'm really sorry about the oversight, but I'm glad you made lemonade out of the lemons I sent to you. Let me know what you think! Cheers!
