I've been crafting for years and enjoy crochet, knitting, paper arts and more.

I'm a wife to a wonderful man and homeschooling mother of 3 kids. We have 3 fish, 2 tortoises, a dog and a rabbit. We enjoy trips to Disneyland, the beach, camping and geocaching.

I love all things vintage/retro.

My favorite color is Aqua

Favorite combos: Red &Aqua, Pale Blue &Brown, Purple & Green, Lime Green & Bright Pink.

I collect Fiesta dishes, milk glass, buttons and squished pennies, and yarn.

*I will rate fairly, kindly and as quickly as I am able. If I cannot give a 5; I will contact you & explain why politely.

I grew up in the 80's-90's and love the "alternative" music from those days, The Cure, STP, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Crowded House, Erasure, Sublime etc.(KROQ if you're from So.Cal.) My "grown up" music choices favor contemporary Christian music Third Day, Reliant K, Jenny Owens, Jeremy Camp, OC Supertones (stuff I can safely listen to with my kids).

I enjoy Sci-fi movies: Serenity, The 5th Element and the more popular ones, like I Am Legend & The Matrix. I like great ensemble movies like The Princess Bride, Empire Records& The Breakfast Club. I also love period movies with lovely costumes: Dangerous Liasons, Finding Neverland, Marie Antionette, Jane Austen movies, etc.

Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. I enjoy the Bible, historical fiction and Sci-fi, & the occasional non-fiction biography, like The Glass Castle. Reading A Wrinkle in Time and Brave New World in school got me hooked on the Sci-Fi genre. I really like the Narnia series-especially The Magician's Nephew. Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite authors I also like Anne McCaffrey & Jodi Picoult's books. I collect knitting and crochet pattern books & magazines.

Crochet, Knitting, Felting, Paper crafts, painting, small sewing projects, embroidery, beading/jewelry making, polymer clay, I'm just learning to spin.

*I enjoy trying new tea. *I like coffee, too. *I love Dark Chocolate. *My favorite snacks are salty crunchy things. *I also like gum & mints(Not cinnamon)-anything I can throw in my purse, for my kids while we're running errands. *Yarn, Roving and patterns *Ribbon or Buttons *Transformers or Megaman stuff for my son. *Blue Kool-Aid,unsweetened

I'd also like handmade items: *Soaps *hand knit socks *hand sewn stuffies *anything cute or quirky *American Girl or Bitty Baby clothes for my DDs.

I wouldn't like anything with nudity, profanity, Zodiac related or that smells like smoke.

I'm happy to trade, especially if we can swap different items ie: your sewing craft for my crochet or knitting. Postcards, new or vintage. Yarn and/or patterns for knit or crochet Pattern books or magazines Small knit/crocheted items Dotee dolls Other smallish handmade items of fabric/felt/yarn (like flower/ bird pins) Matchboxes and bookmarks

I enjoy cooking and baking. I've always enjoyed making the cakes or cupcakes for my kids parties. I use my Crockpot often; we're busy with swim practice in the afternoons & evenings so it helps to have something hot and ready when we get home. I'd love to see your favorite family recipes. I'm more of a 30 Min. Meals or Semi-homemade type cook. My family has no food allergies but we're not big fans of fish.
