I love crafts, especially crochet. My latest craze is amigurumi crochet, and crocheting miniature teddy bears. I'm a member of a couple of crochet groups, and I love swaps. Other crafts I like are paper crafts. I also like to do recycle, alter, and embellishment crafts. I really enjoy receiving something handmade...It's great to see someone's creativity.

WHAT ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS?

MY FAVORITE COLOR...is pink, pink, and all things pink. My favorite color combination is pink/brown.

MY FAVORITE CANDIES...are Peanut M&M's, Junior Mints, Jelly Bellys...especially Tropical Mix, red licorice, gummy bears, red swedish fish, tropical flavored salt water taffy, and bubble gum.

FAVORITE FLAVORS...hmmm?...banana, coconut, pineapple, caramel, chocolate, strawberry, peach, sour apple, and lemon.

MY FAVORITE THINGS TO COLLECT...are siamese cats and siamese cat related items. I also collect crocheted thread bears.

I Love Kawaii items too...cute little japanese-type things.

Pandas are a favorite too!

Also love CUPCAKES and anything with a cupcake theme or deco.

PERSONAL PRODUCTS...Not a big make-up fan. But I love flavored lip balms/chapstick and pink lip gloss (frost and regular). Also, love frosted pink nail polish. I don't like bath products...too risky for irritation, however...pretty little scented soaps are fine.

JEWELRY/ACCESSORIES...I am a silver jewelry/accessories type person...especially anything with pink rhinestones. Also love cute little pink decorated hair pins too! Gold tone jewelry and accessories are not for me.

CANDLES...Love scented tealight candles. My favorite scents are crisp linen, clean linen, cotton, ocean breeze, and refreshing spa.

BEVERAGES...I am a tea drinker (hot and iced), but I am not a coffee drinker. Love Snapple white teas in nectarine and rasberry.

GARDENING...especially enjoy the thrill of planting things from seed. The majority of everything in my garden are from seeds I planted. Nasturtiums are a favorite in my yard. Every year after the winter holidays, I can't wait for the seed packets to hit the shelves for spring.

Tropical, carribean, nature type

All of the CSIs, Law and Order, Animal Planet, HGTV, Food Network

My favorite books/magazines to read are related to cats, collectible teddy bears, and tropical places.
