About Me

Lost my job on Friday, June 20th. Until I find a new job with internet access it will be extremely difficult to get online to manage my swaps. Be patient if I have not rated you. All swaps due by July 1st are done and in the mail. Hope to see you soon.

Avid visual journalist. Paper enthusiast. Also enjoy beading and journal quilts. Lately I've been painting,collaging and journaling on canvas.

Born in San Francisco. Love anything to do with the City by the Bay.The skyline, movies filmed there, street maps, Ghiradelli chocolate, the Japanese Tea Gardens, Chinatown, Golden Gate Park, the row houses, Golden Gate Bridge,etc.

My favourite colour is orange. I like Asian art, paper and atc's. I like dragonflies and pears in my art. And have recently started collecting penguins. I love dark chocolate and prefer coffee to tea.

I buy a lot of art books that relate to ATC's, altered books, vintage art, altered imagery and collage. I think it's time I write one of my own.

Favorite Music

Bob Dylan, Lunasa, Loreena McKennitt, Tea Party, Leonard Cohen, Mozart.

Earlier this year, for my birthday, I went to see Loreena McKennitt in concert. She was magalicious! Her voice and music is beyond compare. I've seen Lunasa twice and Bob Dylan once at the Key Arena in Seattle a couple years ago. Wow! When he sang "Like a Rolling Stone" during his encore I actually started to cry. Tea Party broke up over ten years ago but I love their stuff. I also enjoy Tool.

Bands I still love but don't listen to anymore: AC/DC, Metallica, Moody Blues, Steve Miller Band, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd

I have to amend the comment above: I love listening/dancing to AC/DC and own about 6 CD's and 1 DVD of them on tour. I also love Bruce Springsteen and just bought a whole slew of his stuff on CD. The Boss is Best!

Favorite Movies

Play It Again Sam, The Usual Suspects, When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, French Kiss, Bridget Jones' Diary, U-571, The Stand, Titanic,Patriot Games, Forrest Gump, Big, Clinton & Nadine, Seven, Heat, Ronin,Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Good the Bad & the Ugly, The Mechanic, Harold and Maude, Pretty Woman, First Knight, American Beauty, Hard Rain, Green Card, Elizabeth

Favorite Television

Project Runway, Survivor, Rescue Me, Top Chef, Saving Grace ,Law & Order Criminal Intent (I'm secretly in love with Vincent D'Onofrio), CBS Evening News with Katie Curic

Favorite Crafts

ATC's, collage, beading, embroidery, quilting, painting. Anything I can do while watching TV. Crocheting afghans in winter.

Cheryl, Thank you so much for sending me that gorgeous beautiful stamped image. You know the one with the girdle, birds, musical notes and the hand. I am in awe, jaw dropping awe. I love it and I love you girl.
