Notabelle

I'm a married mom of four, an air force wife, a special education teacher, a crafter and a "stuff" collector. :-)

Happy Swapping!

Things I love: *Unusual rubber duckies. *All things Halloween *Grumpy of the seven dwarves.
*Glass Beads *Blank journals (no lines) *Charms of any kind *Handmade jewelry *Pin up girls

My favorite colors are blue and orange. I am absolutely addicted to the sport of lacrosse (hubby coaches and plays and eldest daughter is a wicked goalie!) I almost never miss an Auburn Tigers football game. WAR EAGLE!!!

Things I don't like: *black licorice *coconut *cats.
*I'm trying to stick to a diet (Trying is the important word) so I really don't need any candy. Of course, if I join a swap that calls for candy, I'll do the right thing and eat every last bit that you send me. :-)

I love paper crafts. I scrapbook everything and am really into embellishments: tags, ribbons, filigree, fibers, chipboard, buttons, rub ons...anything that can be put on a page. I'm fast becoming addicted to altered art and have started altering everythig I can get my hands on for my family....although not books, I can't seem to get into altering the pages of premade books.

I'm now getting into charm and jewelry making. There is something so satisfying about taking "stuff" and turning it into wearable art.

I will admit that I am a horror movie queen. I love them and force my husband to watch with me. And, if you promise not to tell, I will also admit to watching (and enjoying) Taladega Nights-The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Dr. Strangelove, Muppets in Space, and The 13th Warrior are well worn movies in my movie collection.

My favorite television used to be all the great craft shows they had on HGTV and the DIY channel......am I crazy or are they all gone? Where is Crafters from coast to coast??? Or That's Clever?

Thank goodness Eureka! (SciFi...or SyFy as they are now calling it....channel) is still on.

The Jack Spratt Detective series....murder mysteries in nursery rhyme land.....the Gingerbread man looks like the likely suspect!

Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series.

I like my books spooky with some gore and/or sex. Hey, I'm not proud of it but it's me. :-)

....I would spend all my free time wandering around thrift stores, buying other people's junk. I just love turning someone else's trash into something funky and fun. My "Crap Room" (which is what my family calls my craft room because of all the crap I bring home) is filled to bursting with things I'm sure I'll do SOMETHING with. :D
