About Me

I happily live alone with my new cat, Sally Esther. She is an older cat and is very loving (after she came out from under the bed where she hid when she first got here!). I enjoy reading, tatting, friends and in particular, my two granddaughters (and my daughter and son-in-law). (I send each of my granddaughters, who are 9 and 5, a postcard every week. I would appreciate unused postcards which would be interesting for them.) I enjoy "magic", like blowing bubbles, flowers, nature, crystals, unicorns, dragonflies, cats, friends, learning about and trying new things.

Favorite Music

Lots of different kinds -- show music, rock and roll, music from the 60s and 70s, a little country(Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris, Nancy Griffith), blues, jazz, blue grass and am open to just about anything.

Favorite Movies

The Sting. The Last Waltz. Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Katherine Hepburn, Jane Fonda, Audrey Hepburn, Anne Bancroft, Nicole Kidman, and lots of others! I don't like horror or violent movies.

Favorite Television

What Not to Wear. Mash. The Cosby Show. Queer as Folk. 24. Sex and the City. Boston Legal. Biographies. Shows on reorganizing and decorating. Cooking Shows. Roseanne. Dr. Phil. The Ellen Degeneris Show.

Favorite Crafts

Tatting. Embroidery. Sewing. Knitting (just beginning). I am really enjoying making Dotees, so I would appreciate any "Dotee supplies".

Favorite Books

I love reading! I enjoy mysteries, biographies, self-help, feminist, science fiction, some popular novels, recipes, crafting, organization manuals, short stories, etc.! I do not enjoy horror or scary suspense, romances, or violent books.

My Wishlist

Unicorns

Dragons

Dragonflies

Recipes (I particularly like chicken, casseroles, appetizers, vegetables, and anything else you find interesting)

Postcards that my 5 and 9-year-old granddaughters would like

Crystals

Cat-related things

Little stuffed animals (I got a turtle that I love)

Bert's Bees things (My favorites right now are lip stuff and cuticle cream)

Candles (Of all sorts. I burn a candle every night -- either votives or regular candles.)

Books (I am addicted to reading. I am willing to try just about anything, both fiction and non-fiction. I don't usually read romance, horrow or violent, or westerns. My favorite right now are mysteries.)

Neat paper (I have gotten some beautiful papers in swaps. I really enjoy handmade paper or just interesting designs. They seem to make me more creative)

Gel pens

Small pieces of material and beads for Dotee Dolls. I love making them.

Kaleidoscopes

It actually inspired me to get some tatting supplies - I haven't tried it yet because school started, but I definitely can't wait to try it out! Thank you for the lovely notecards!

Hi Mary, thank you so much for the three notecards you sent me for the Notecards To Go August WTA contest. It was so generous of you to include some fabric scraps for me too - much appreciated! And give Sally a kitty smooch from me :-) Sam xoxo

I just wanted to let you know that I have been receiving your postcards for the "Diary Postcards for a Week #2" swap. I have enjoyed the cards themselves and reading about your life.

Diary Postcards For a Week! #2 I'm having alot of fun and wondering if my postcards are getting to you ok. It will be a shame to see this swap end. Wish there could be more like it.
kizmet on Sep 1, 2008:

Thanks for your nice message Mary! I have been quite absent from groups in the past week due to a little trip and too much work but I'm soo happy you enjoyed your package. It was fun to put together but the best part of every swap is when you know that you put a little smile on someone else face ^_^

Have a wonderful week

Hi, Mary! I received your note card today for the June WTA contest for the "Notecards to Go" group. Wow! What a great card! I love tatting but have never learned how to do it myself, so I really appreciate all the effort you put into this card! Thank you so much!!!
