I love collage, scrapbooking, watercolor painting (still learning!), all paper crafts and photography. I love art journals, ATCs, keys, souvenirs and anything vintage.

LIKES: - ribbons, yarns & unique fibers - all kinds of embellishments - papers & magazine scraps for collages - decorated envelopes - museum postcards - vintage photos - unusual photographs or photos that didn't turn out quite as intended - like to try to recycle items in clever ways - international "stuff" - foreign coins - foreign language newspapers/magazines - buttons, lace, sewing items - romantic vintage look - quotes - florals - bold geometric designs

No, Thank you.... - anything "too cutesy"....a little is OK - Disney related items - not too much light pink or light blue (in moderation for certain things...)

I lead a Global Learning & Development team and my husband is a college administrator. We enjoy gardening and our lake cabin which is really remote. I love anything French and enjoy traveling, especially internationally.

Favorites -- art, architecture, ephemera, making stuff! I enjoy cooking, trying new recipes and finding great wines to enjoy with dinner.

Favorite Colors: - Green - rich earth tones (brown, gold, green, red, etc.) - muted earth tones

I also like paisely, victorian floral prints, cottage prints.

I have zillions of craft and art books and I really do read all of them.

I love vintage books -- the more unusual the better!

I like tv, but I'm one of those people who end up falling asleep on the sofa if I watch too much! I enjoy HGTV and the Food Network.

Eclectic taste in music -- look at my ipod and you'd find a WIDE variety of music! - 70's rock n' roll - soft rock - Jewel - Edwin McCain - Bon Jovi - Billy Idol - Bob Dylan

The sappier the better.......or old movies........or French flicks and independent films. Recent favorite: - Julie & Julia - Time Traveler's Wife - got terrible reviews, but I loved it!
