~~~ Always on the outside looking in. ~~~

I'm 49, married to a great guy, a mom to a lovely daughter, and a brand new granny to a wonderful little boy.
Sy ~ At the Pumpkin Patch 10/09

Most people would tell you that I'm generally a nice person. However, I will not be bullied by anyone. I will not engage in any drama. I'm too old for childish games. All I want from this site is to allow my creative side to shine and enjoy myself. I have no hidden agendas.
Feel free to "friend" me on Facebook. I update there quite a bit. I'd also love to have some new Farmville Neighbors. Yep...I'm addicted. Moooooo!

I live in a busy town in Northern Virginia, very close to Washington, DC. I've lived in this area for most of my life. I love this being close to DC for all it offers, like the Smithsonian Museums, Monuments, and other historical things.
I have a 3 year old Yorkie named Ginger. She's an amazing companion. I also have a 6 month old Pacific Parrotlet named Pekoe. He's a beautiful light blue color.

I'm really easy to please and like most things. I love handmade things because they come from the heart.
Although I like all colors, my favorite colors are:
Other Randomness about me....
I love tea and should belong to Tea-a-holics Anonymous. My favorites are Mint Roobios Iced Tea from the Rishi Company. I also love teas from Adagio Teas.
Thanks to my friend Stephanie, I love Iced Tea Candies from Plymouth Teas. (www.plymouthtea.com)
I love Hazelnut anything and everything..especially coffee and tea!
I am a chocoholic. I've never met a chocolate I didn't like!
I love birds and bird houses, flowers, tea cups and teapots!
Mary Engelbriet rocks my socks! I think she's awesome!
Notecards, writing paper, cool pens are always tops on my favorites list!
I love fairies and gnomes.
I am crazy for cupcakes!
Recipes. I'm starting a collection of recipes for my daughter. All recipes are welcome, but recipes that are lac free/dairy free are super awesome! I prefer 4x6 cards, if possible.
Anything from Paper Source! I love this store and am so happy to have one close to my house! (www.paper-source.com) Oh....the temptation!!
I love Polka Dots!
Flowers are LOVE! Violets, lilies, tulips and daisies are my favorites.
Sock Monkeys make me smile!
Whimsical Frogs rock!
I enjoy embroidering with my sewing machine, but in all actuality, I don't sew very well at all.
I prefer Fall, Winter and Spring over Summer.
I really enjoy Postcrossing!
I'm a country girl at heart, but I'm stuck in the city. Hopefully someday, I'll move.
WVU is my Alma Mater! Let's Go Mountaineers! Woo hoo!
Ugly Dolls are Awesome! I totally love them all!
I dream of visiting Ireland and Alaska.



My iPod playlist includes music from



Right now, my favorites are the books of the Twilight Series by Stephanie Myer. I also like the occasional sappy (not smutty) or historical romance.
I've started re-reading the Little House Books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I loved them when I was a kid.
I've been known to pour through cookbooks and DIY craft books, too.

Handy Manny is my guilty pleasure. I totally love this show and enjoy watching it with my adorable grandson.



Although I am not doing much crafting these days, I throughly enjoy making Dotee Dolls. I also like to make Note Cards on occasion.
I do a great deal of crocheting and enjoy making baby blankets. Several of them can be seen on my Flickr.

I enjoy rubber stamping and scrap booking, too, but admittedly, I'm not very good at either.
I'm going to teach myself how to make a hand bound journal just for giggles and grins.
Another 'craft' that I enjoy is pen-palling. I love writing letters and getting to know new friends via snail mail!

Many thanks to @starwatcher for sending this wonderful quote to me!

This is my list of flakers. I'm really tired of putting forth a great deal of effort and time in a swap and then being flaked upon by irresponsible and uncaring people. I don't usually call people out, but being flaked upon in two big dotee swaps has given me a need to let people know of their dishonesty.

I'll be slowing down on the Wish List Games and Tags until the holidays are over so I can concentrate on getting some holiday crafting completed.
