About Me

I am married and I live in Boise, ID (city of Trees) and I moved here from Atlantic Beach, NC (which is an island), big change I must say. I miss the beach a lot but I am learning to love it here too. I love going on adventures here with my friend, we call them the "J&A Red Car Adventures". I currently do not have a job but I do ebay, etsy, and craft shows. I am also a volunteer at a cageless no-kill cat shelter.

I am married to a graphic/web designer who loves to do any sport where a board is under his feet. ie... skateboard, surf, snowboard, wakeboard and he loves to ride his dirt bike. I would love to ride a dirt bike too... His is to big for me so as soon as I get more money I will get my own.

Things I love:

Cats, Crafting, Upcycling, Vintage, Thrift Shops, Vegetables, ebay, Wine, Friends, Letterboxing, Candy, Mail

My cat is named Mr. Bibs, he loves catnip, catnip bubbles, mice, and most toys. He is like our kid and we love him very much! My love of cats has inspired me to be a volunteer at a cat shelter. This is a cageless no-kill shelter and it is a very amazing place. I am glad I can spend time there.

Favorite Music

Punk, 80's, 90's Alternative, Pop Punk, Girl Power, Classical, Beach Music, Oldies... I like almost any type of music.

Favorite artist and bands: Bad Religion, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Billy Joel, Abba, Napoleon Dynamite Soundtrack, Mozart, Bee Gees, these are just a few, as you can see I love lots of different music.

Favorite Movies

Napoleon Dynamite, Shag, Harold & Kumar, Hunt for Red October, Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles, Clockwatchers, and more

Favorite Crafts

I make jewelry and other stuff out of recycled materials. Check out my website to see the things I make. beachchicken.etsy.com

I have been doing craft shows lately and I love it. I meet the coolest and most creative people. I belong to a Etsy Street Team.

Favorite Television

Big Love, Lost, 18 Kids and Counting, The Office, NCIS, Intervention, and a lot more. I love get old TV shows from Netflix like Picket Fences, American Gothic.

I am only faithful to watching 2 shows and they are Big Love and Lost.

Dislikes

I am not really too picky but if possible please do not send anything that is cinnamon scented or patchouli scented because they bother my allergies. Also please do not send any religious items.

I appreciate everything that is sent to me and anything that is handcrafted. I enjoy the surprises.

Wishlist

vintage books with neat prints on the covers

empty fabric softener and detergent bottles or just the part that has the label ,cut out from the bottle. I use the printed part for crafting. glass beads and silver colored jewelry findings

vintage kids books with great illustrations inside on the pages

blank greeting or note cards

broken vintage jewelry

Comment: I love vintage postcards, so I never mind getting them! I like the quote, especially since it is a foil to a old standard. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for angeling my 60s-70s-80s Horror DVD swap! It was very nice of you, and I had a lot of fun with it. Makes me want to try my hand at mask-making again...

I'm so excited about the horror film swap; what a great idea! Boise is a fantastic city, I have been there several times and its so much more than you expect it to be (and I mean this in the best way possible). It's a great place to thrift shop and I hope to go back there very soon.

YEA FOR YOU!!! I too am a cat lover, we have 4 and all are very spoiled. They are khia-ragdoll pursian then there is True that we thought to be a girl uhoh, and then there is knickalie,simeese mix but u would never know,has all simeese traits.And then Salem,jet black,little miss attitude and little she is the smalliest we have ever had. I think its great that you care.

Serenity on Jul 3, 2009:

I agree with you, it's the surprises and seeing the other persons art through their eyes, it's those things I love most.
