- I love most crafts but I don't know how to sew very well. I LOVE getting handmade items that are sewn since I can't make them for myself. I am hoping to learn someday!
Favorite Music
Anything that makes me feel happy, inspired, or reminiscent...from alternative to classical to country to pop and most everything in between.
Favorite Books
Summer by Edith Wharton, The Other Boleyn Sister, The Jungle, The Know-It-All One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World, The Far Pavilions, Harry Potter, Street Sparrows, anything witty or romantic that keeps me up past my bedtime because I just can't put it down. I find that if a book or poem has the word "languid" in it then I usually love it!

Dislikes
There are only a few things I don't really wish to receive: tea, foam stickers, cheap scrapbooking supplies, confetti, things that are poorly made.
I appreciate quality over quantity and just enjoy swaps that show some thought and time went into them.
