I like to read, art and craft, and homeschool my four children. (Well, now it's only 3--one has graduated, and is in college!)

classical, bluegrass, Pink Floyd, all that 80's alternative--I like to be able to understand the lyrics as they're sung--Third Day, Jars of Clay . . .

(in no particular order) old musicals, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Princess Bride, Napoleon Dynamite, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (old and new) . . . the old Alastair Sim Scrooge is my absolute all time favorite Christmas movie!

collage/mixed media, scrapbooking, textile arts, beading, quilting, candle and soap making, needle felting/felting

It was suggested to include a list of stuff we like--I love to get regional ephemera, so if you're not from the USA, please send me a page from your newspaper, clean candy wrappers, labels from items in your home, whatever! Things not in English, or things we just don't have in the USA.

I also love fabric, glass/ceramic, polymer clay beads, jewelry, soaps, purses/bags with handles, candles, homemade items, pens, crayons (I LOVE CRAYONS!)--I'm really not that particular, now that I actually think about it. Send me something neat you knitted or crocheted and I'll smile for a month (unless maybe it's one of those toilet paper covers!)

The only thing I can think of as a no are florescent-type outrageously bright colors. Eeeeeew. Sorry. And not so much into cartoon characters, except maybe Scooby. Or HR Puffinstuff, but he's not a cartoon.

What do YOU like?? :)

Alice in Wonderland, The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace, Gilead, the Jane Austens, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Mitford series was charming, The Cat Who series (some weren't so grand, but a quick, fun read), The Number 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series was excellent . . .
