About Me

Proud CrapMistress of Delta Gamma Crappa

Hi! -I'm Marie From California~Back teaching jr. High- I have a few groups here and i love my members- we rawk girls! Veni, vidi, velcro. I came, I saw, I stuck around

Im a Cali girl, born and raised.I have 3 daughters, one of whom passed from Cancer at the age of 3 but I still feel her around me everyday. I have a 12 year old who just had a birthday and had her nose pierced as her birthday present. Her Dad wasn't quite sure about it ,but he relented and it really does look cute on her.I have a 29 year old who recently moved back home from the Bay area, and I'm glad to get to see her sweet face everyday. My husband is a musician (country) from Nashville and also owns a graphics business. He is truly the love of my life and not hard on the eyes either! I have 3 cats, Georgia, Harley and Dalton and recently we acquired a little orange tabby rescue we named Mike Wizowski :). I'm an art instructor by trade and in my spare time I love to travel abroad, read, create and spend time with my family. I love anything strange and unusual and my house is filled to bursting with old Victoriana and religious icons.I'm new to ATC's but Im already hooked!

Favorite Movies

OLD! For example The good earth (1934) and Sunset Blvd. are two of my favorites- I love a good love story and also a good horror movie- the only thing I dont like are action or espionage.

I love any crazy old cartoons (copy) -things you can't get any more...wonderful old nostalgic and crazy films...and anything with a message that people hear all the time...but dont really HEAR.

Favorite Television

I'm whispering here--- reality...and travel- I hate to admit I love all the vh1 "searching for dysfunctional love" shows as well as any on BBC america! Bizarre foods is another favorite-The Graham Norton show, French and Saunders, Absolutely Fabulous, Biggest Loser.....

Favorite Crafts

I'm a working artist/instructor so I "do" art all day- my media of choice is colored pencil because where my art is concerned Im a control freak :)

Love ATC cards since I discovered them-I'm hooked! This is me hoarding the precious--atc supplies * Love to have old old photos to use on them (any subject) old buttons, charms, findings etc to glue to them- anything antiquey is great!

Favorite Books

My all time favorite type of books are fiction or non fiction on unusual subjects : some I have are lucid dreaming, postmortem photography, mourning rituals- anything strange and crazy

Also

Victoriana-

Medieval Europe-

Good horror-

Trashy love stories ( the trashier the better :) )-

Time travel-

True crime-

Old books- pre 1900 are great...doesnt matter if its english as long as its pretty...or interesting...

I haven't done the book dismantling as yet...but if I found one with interesting script and illustrations- Id be all over it regardless of condition :)

Favorite Music

Yeah,,,my husband is a country singer- yep- Cali girl meets Nashville boy...but he is fine fine fine...so...I adjusted :)

I was always a soft metal girl- poison, skid row, all the 80's crap I still love-

I don't like- Rap

Things I like

I would be thrilled to receive any of these :)

T-shirts (xl) with strange and wonderful fronts- logos, weird pictures etc (New or used- I love the softness of an old t-shirt)

side show items

small antique (cork type) bottle

Funeral (mourning) items

anything Victorian

tiny treasures ( I have a box of these and they range from beautiful polished rocks, tiny pieces of wonderful costume jewelry, gorgeous buttons, glass globbies, crystals, tiny dolls, etc...my daughter loves to look through the treasure box)

small black travel bibles

anything beaded

anything blinged out :)

old photographs (I love those with children sleeping or people doing unusual things)

Stereoview cards ( especially those with weird scenes)

the old 1/2" thick records ( I have a victrola)

Old Rosaries ( especially the ones with black beads)

anything strange and unusual- my goal is to have a house that when people walk in they look around and say "what is THAT??"

Strange jewelry (especially anything black)

Just recently I got some wonderful homemade soap and it was heavenly--so Im now adding that to the list

Books on strange and unusual subjects

Anything about Coney Island, especially the old time Coney

A glue pen ( the kind you use with glitter- can't find them here!)

Food Food Food!

I love to try snack foods that are specific to different countries, especially anything kind of bizarre

Once I got a box of sugar from London that was multi colored crystals- I loved that stuff!-

Also love the rough brown sugar lumps you can get in France and other parts of Europe-

Love white chocolate and dark chocolate, but not so much milk chocolate-

Love savory type snacks- especially things we don't see in the states-

Collections

I collect Victorian Mourning items, especially jewelry- and Victorian angels. My pride and joy is a ceiling angel from an 1850's church- I am an antique hunter and a thrift store nut. Anything strange and unusual is a must. I am not crazy about cutesy ( like hello kitty) although I totally respect its collectors.

I think Francis Bacon is the greatest artist ever born and if anyone has anything of his they'd like to part with I would be thrilled.

The other stuff

LET ME SAY THIS- I love just about anything I've gotten- the work and effort put into it is awesome! I am so glad to be here and want to make everyone happy----talk to me...let me know who you are- I will do my best to make something you like- Work with me and I'll work with you..if theres a problem let me know...Im good like that :)

Im finding that sometimes there are folks here who want to jump and rate low...Im not sure what causes a person to do that because that would be my LAST resort. I'm more about finding out whats going on....bad stuff happens to people all the time- heck LIFE happens, and we should all be understanding. It's not ABOUT rating folks low- its about having a good time and relating right?

FOLKS WHO HAVE FLAKED ON ME:

Egads I hate this but I want others to know so they don't get flaked on- its so disappointing!

indigored for the Im a collector swap- That was a disappointment since the swap I sent to my partner cost a total of 57$

LuldaCasadaga55 for the 7 deadly sins atc swap- Im still hopeful on this one though it's been 3 weeks- Mine took forever to make so it would be great to get some ( Got them!)

Thank you so much for the RAK sent to Mia. I wish you could have seen her face as soon as she opened it. Ya'll are awesome!

disneyfreaksam on Oct 21, 2009:

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the amazing parcel I received. As soon as I opened it I unwrapped Minnie as she was starting to turn a bit blue, but my son has cuddled her back to life.

Everything is excellent and some has already been used. I was making a Haunted Mansion ATC and needed some dark green patterned paper. I could not find any that I liked, but hey presto, I opened your goodies and there was the perfect paper.

You are a true angel.

Oooh, I can't wait to see what you'll send me to hell with! Heaven knows that's where I'm headed... :D

Fittzwm on Aug 31, 2009:

Rie, you have a knack for stating the obvious - thank you. I was going to follow you in that inane thread (send/no send/nasty-gram), but I would like to see it die. SO I am thanking you here.

RAWR!!
