About Me

I live in a 150 year old victorian house with 3 dogs a very fat cat and my husband. We now have a new addition to our pet family. We adopted a beautiful ragdoll cat. I go to yoga classes. Love to garden and decorate. I collect old brooches, flowerfrogs, milk glass, and vintage postcards.my dogs are a white english bull, a black pug,and a tiny red pomeranian and I also am owned by a fat red cat named Boo and a beautiful ragdoll cat named Baby.I drink coffee and tea also wine. I love chocolate, anything vintage or victorian,photos of dogs. I like dragonflies, and anything with birds on them..I also collect unusual buttons to use on the purses I make, for thrift store swaps , vintage brooches and pins,charms, anything with birds on them, unusual salt and pepper shakers, things I can use on ATCs, and if you are outside the US something cool that I would not find here.

Favorite Music

James Blunt, Citizen Cope, Corrine Bailey Ray, Macy Gray. Dido, Madonna, Elton John, Adele and Amy Winehouse.

Favorite Movies

Drama, comedy, foreign, and classic. my favorite movie right now is "UP" and I loved Streep in "Julie and Julia" I love movies!!

Favorite Television

King of Queens, Greys Anatomy, and Wheel of Fortune ,game shows Desperate Housewives. The Big Bang is Hilarious! My new favorites are Bones, House, Castle and the Mentalist.

Favorite Crafts

I spend most of my free time with my ATC and Skinnys.creations now into art journaling,knitting, felting and occasionally Art dolls. I also like to read, bake and cook. The trick is finding time to do all of these. I almost have it under control. The key word being ALMOST! .I am now branching out into adding more altered art into my artwork such as books, dolls, metal, shrines and whatever else I can get my hands on.

likes and dislikes

I am not really fond of CUTESY art. I LIKE steampunk, victorian, romantic, birds. Please don't send food items, candy or gum. I HATE STICKERS!!!! on art work, So PLEASE DO NOT ADD THEM TO ART SENT TO ME.

wish list

My wish list...1. victorian mourning brooch
2. charms 3. something from Alphastamps.com 4. Freida rubber stamp 5. Steampunk style embellishments 6. Bird images, 7. Bird charms 8. Victorian or vintage items 9. anything grunge steampunk or Tim Holtz

RATING SWAPS This may seem picky to some,but this is how I rate swaps. I only give hearts for the quality of the work and if the rules of the swap are followed. Getting extras are a bonus and always appreciated, but do not guarantee a heart.

Comment: OMG--MARY!!!! I came home today to find the MOST AWESOME package on my porch--I was FLOORED!! You didn't just send 8 fabulous surprises--you sent one for every movie listed, and where oh where do I start??!!? I cannot thank you enough, because each item fit me exactly to a "T"!! The birdie is hanging on my front porch, and the dreamcatcher is hanging in my kitchen, and OH MY GOD, the jelly bellies didn't last but a New York minute, LOL!! The journal, tomato,pincushion, kitty toys, bread pan--I could go on and on!!! You are definitely a thoughtful, considerate, and generous swapper, and one puny little heart can't even come CLOSE to the rating you deserve! I'm so delirious I can't even find the words to tell you how amazed & grateful I am for everything!! You have rocked my world, lady, and I thank you from the bottom of my (jelly belly-ful) heart!! <3 hugs, teresa
Response: You are so welcome! I had a blast finding all that stuff. I love that you have 4 cats. I only have 2, but I also have 4 dogs lol. I love animals and I would like to have an ark too!
