I love crafting and baking as a way to relieve stress. I live in Chicago with my fella, one yellow canary, and my ridiculously adorable black dog. Dog has little to no interest in fabric or crafts, despite my repeated attempts to teach her to sew.

I work FT as an admin for a tax company, but yearn to spend my life doing something more creative.

I also have a blog where I chronicle my baking adventures at http://frostedcreations.blogspot.com

-cupcakes (baking, decorating and blogging them) -running (I completed my first half marathon in '08) -cute cotton fabrics -Chicago (both the city and the musical) -old glamour stars like Audrey and Marilyn -sewing aprons -The Beatles (I love the Yellow Submarine/Sgt. Pepper era the most) -The Rolling Stones -Etsy (I want to buy everything) -bright color and novelty fabrics

There is a strong possibility that I may be addicted to fabric...

I don't watch much TV, but I do enjoy the Ghost Hunters series and Saturday Night Live.

My favorite movies are Love Actually, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Wizard of Oz.

I have collected a large amount of scrapbooking material over the years, but rarely ever scrapbook. Hmmm...

I sew aprons for my Etsy shop and have recently begun making a few pieces of jewelry. With the addition of a Gocco machine to my craft room, I'm learning to make fun cards.

Baking is very relaxing for me (and makes me quite popular with the co-workers) so I love good recipes and food decorations.

I'm not a huge fan of: Religious or country themes, Hello Kitty (cute, but I just don't get it)
