This is a photo of a miniature notecard, envelope and crown (in it's flat state) that I made when I was contemplating an easy craft to swap for our dolls. These are about 1:6 scale - Barbie sized.
I'm a wife, mother and grandmother, from South Texas. My interests include art - especially outsider type, drawn and painted by hand - native plants, herbs, parish life, history, cemeteries, blogging, playing video games (Sims3, The Sims2:Pets, Sims Castaway, Viva Pinata, Harvest Moon, Fable 2, Animal Crossing, Oblivion), vintage vinyl dolls, handmade doll clothes and much more.
-The Bible, especially The Catholic Youth Bible
-all books by Michael D. O'Brien - I love his art, too.
-all books by Charles de Lint. He is the creator of the urban fantasy genre. I love both his YA books as well as his adult fiction.
-books about permaculture and related subjects
-books by Gabriel Garcia Marquez - His short story, Eyes of the Blue Dog is amazingly wonderful.
-The Twilight series
The Passion of the Christ, My Family/Mi Familia, almost all of M. Knight Shayamalan's movies, and the oldies, -It's a Wonderful Life, You Can't Take it With You, Harvey, and others.
Survivor, Top Chef, The Next Food Network Star, Project Runway, Top Design, Design Star, The Amazing Race, 19 Kids and Counting, CSI(Las Vegas), Modern Family, The Middle...
Painting, drawing or collaging ATCs, postcards or 'odd sizes'. Making little assembleges, collage, mixed media, also crochet, but only VERY simple things, and I have to be in the mood. I also do some quilting, but other than that, I really dislike sewing, although I LOVE sewn things like dolls, stuffed animals and especially doll clothes. But I would NOT want to make them, myself. Or at least not more than once a year. LOL! I also like whacko things like the various different kinds of shoes painted in bright pastels hanging from the tree in my front yard.


Greens, reds, and mostly dark, bright (but not neon) or jewel tones, as opposed to pastels, for most things. I also love plaid!
I love Halloween!!! But not bloody, gory, devil or anti-Christian (like upside down crosses, etc.). I'm not crazy about ouija boards either.
My favorites are:
Pumpkins, bats, black cats, owls, ravens/crows, jack-o-lanterns, or other "veggie people"
Vintage look type of style is cool, too.
I LOVE altered vintage photos used for Halloween things...like witch hats on people, etc.
Skeletons, both regular ones and Dia de los Muertos style
Flat cardboard type decorations and orange or black crepe paper streamers
Halloween papers
Cloth ribbons in orange and black prints
Orange or black rick-rack, lace or braid.
Halloween collage sheets or collage elements...there are many free ones offered on Flickr.
Ruby Gloom or Emily the Strange things
creepy or twirly limbed tree items
cemetery, grave or tombstone themed things
metal embelishment pieces
Most things, barring the things I said I don't like at the top of this catagory.
I don't think there is anything Christmas-y that I would dislike, except the spelling of Christmas as 'Xmas', or anything off-color. Favorite themes would be...
Nativity (or any part of it)
Posada
Elves
Vintage look
Christmas collage sheets or various collage elements.
etc.
