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: What a great ATC! I love how the embellishments almost seem to be a part of the embossing itself and how you layered so many colors. It really is very beautiful! I appreciate the extra chipboard pieces... I will definitely be putting them to use on future projects! Thank you for everything!
Response: Thanks, I really enjoyed this technique and hope to do more of them. I'm glad you liked my work. Thanks for the heart.

Hey there ~ hope you're enjoying the winter days... I'm wondering whether my Doodle-Zoo #1 ATCs have made it to you safely... It's been a while since I sent those... Best wishes =^.^=

Welcome to the hand drawn/painted ATC group. I am so looking forward to getting the chance to swap with you. I do love steam punk. I hope you find many enjoyable swaps with us. Happy swapping.

I'll swap with you any time! The shrine was so perfectly to my taste, and so carefully made....loved it! Did you choose a specific saint, and if so, who? Or is it meant to be Mary / Maria? At any rate, it's beautiful. Thank you!

Hi Mary, Thank you so much for the great "paper"envelope for the Somerset WTA. I can't wait to put everything to good use and now I have no excuse to not try a matchbox. Thank you.

Hello, Mary. I just mailed off your cigar box this AM, and last night, AFTER packing it up, I realized I didn't tell you which swap this was. I know it should be obvious, but just in case you are like me and can't remember which group swap it was, it was Crafting Queens Altered Cigar Box swap hosted by Rye. I did include a note - just left this info out. Oh, and I guess I had you mixed up w/ someone else who liked Tim Holtz stuff a lot, so please just disregard the comments about Tim Holtz stuff, too. I have read so many profiles lately I guess I am just addled! Sorry!
