About Me

Mom of two who loves to make things. Interests are all decos: I love to make them and have them made for me of: Hello Kitty, Valentines, Day, colors: green and pink, hearts, cutesy things that a mom could share with her dainty 6 year old "princess", and recipes. I love to swap postsecret style postcards. My sweet little family includes a Japanese husband, a Korean daughter, and a Portuguese mixed son. I am trying to learn to speak French. It's fun! I'm totally enamored with the ideas of eating locally and organically and have a huge home orchard in my backyward. I want to live off the land and share my bounty. I also am very interested in being earth-conscious and leaving a small carbon footprint. I love snail mail but am looking to use more email to save the environment!

Favorite Music

Old Soul, gospel, and really just about anything performed live.

Favorite Books

Anything about eating disorders and cookbooks...makes sense! I am a huge fan of poetry and haiku. My favorite poet is ee cummings. I adore reading books about food issues such as Michael Pollan, Jessica Prentice, John Robbins, and those sorts.

Favorite Movies

Electric Dreams (old and obscure), Ozu movies.

Favorite Television

Love reality shows like So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, and Bachelor. I will laugh forever over Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm and the office: English and American versions.

Favorite Crafts

Making books, decos, handwritten letters to friends, origami, vintage Valentine cards.

Who am I....

I am a woman who loves my life which is filled with a loving husband and kids, friends, a great job but is haunted by my horrible childhood. I lost my mom at a young age and I grieve constantly so behind the happy face is a woman who really feels alone in the world. I am also a woman who strives to leave a small carbon footprint. I am obsessed with foods, eating, how to live naturally and holistically. My husband and I have started an organic orchard in our backyard where we are growing our own fruits and vegies. It is fun and maddening...damn garden pests and varmits!

Fruits, Vegies&Nature

I love stickers of fruits and vegies and of course, Hello Kitty. I adore recipes using fruits and vegies as I am a striving vegan. I love stickers of nature and photographs of nature. I enjoy getting handmade things.

Thank you very much for the thoughtful offer! I have not gotten anything from her yet, but I'm going to wait until the deadline and see if by some miracle she has decided to send, like her room mate has told us. neopostretro has also offered to send to me if karma613 flakes. It's just nice knowing that you guys care :)
