I work part-time for a charity called reBOOT Canada
I am discovering glue books & art journals
I'm married to my best friend. I have 3 grandchildren from 2 kids
I am an eclectic person. Taking a little of this & a little of that to create my own life & style
Knitting, ATC's, Zines, photography, scrapbooking
Likes: Anything that is a jewel color. I also like the basic 8 like in the Crayola box. My favorite colours are Red, Purple and Black. Combo's of Red and black, green and red and red & purple are cool.
Learning new crafts or discovering old ones. Recently I've purchased some embroidery projects and some quilting projects.
Books especially Sci/fi_fantasy, knitting & journaling ones
Thrift store items- but please no more stationary I have more lists and notepads then I can possibly use in the next 3 years. Journals are ok though
I collect angels and ATC's.
I like roses, lilacs, cats, fairies, dragons, Christmas, Spring, Fall, Halloween and Easter.
I like Asian. Oriental, and Irish icons and images, well done sepia and Black & white prints. Actually any images I could use for making paper ATC's or art journal pages would be welcome just not scrap papers (I have tons and tons)
I like herbal teas. My favorite being Chai (five spice). I like lemon when I'm sick and peppermint for my tummy and others just because they smell so good.
The scents Vanilla, Lilac, Lavender & Rose.
Dislikes: I do not wear jewelry or makeup. I will accept them but be aware that they will be re-gifted
I do not like neons or pastels.
I like 50,s, 60's and 70's music mainly and have a real weakness for female artist like Alanis Morrisette and Cher. Yes my taste is really that varied. If it has a beat that makes me want to move or a message I need to hear then it's acceptable. I also like the mix created by classical music or pan pipes and nature sounds. Especially those created by Dan Gibson and Sukay. Oh yeah and Shakira rocks. I am gaining an appreciation for electronic music as well it's good for outside work.
Give me something with wizards, fairy's, werewolves or vampires or alternate realities in it and I'm into it. Anne Macaffrey, Piers Anthony and other like them are my favorite reads. In non-fiction anything that will teach me a new skill is welcome
Practical Magic, Nightmare before Christmas in fact anything animated except for South Park. Some of the Star Treks. I also like Pirates of the Caribbean and Terminator. Lots of others.
I mainly watch Stargate Atlantis, NCIS, Fringe, Heros, Sanctuary, CSI
ATC's made from unique materials or using unique media.
Angels- an angel for my collection will automatically gain you a heart
Alphabet and word (not the ones for students) sets (stickers, rub-ons)
Dolls, bears or other types of stuffed toys. I'm partial to spiders, cats and bats but not snakes. I would love a Santa doll or three.
Aprons size large. Market bags(sewn,knit or crochet)
Seasonal outfits for my teddys (12", 10" and 6")
Seasonal items for my front porch display
Slipper socks the old fashioned kind with a double sole. I think they might be an older version of bedsocks. I just know that with the double sole I can wear them like they were slippers.
Amiguri Pattern for a knitter or just an amiguri so I can see how it's put together
Natural knitting thread/wool. They are so expensive but I would like to try a silk or a bamboo or something that is feltable. Right now I have mainly acylics and a few cheap cottons
Knitting magazines, stitch markers, needles(I have one set of DPN and would really like a few more). Other knitting tools and instructions on how to use them :) I am a beginner.
First Nations (natives) crafts such a dream catchers, moccasins, spiritual art.
Handmade anything. Especially fond of head/hair bands and accessories.
I like to give gifts and have a number of children on my Gift list as well as a few adults. If you can help me out a few of their interests are below:
1)Anything for a new baby. My daughter had a little boy and you know how fast babies grow.
2)Gadgets or computer inspired things for my husband (check out my Wishpot it has some examples)
3)Kitty toys for my kitty cat a lazy tom cat called Ceedar
4)Tigers for my daughter (Vanessa) (30) She wears a size M in most everything and always needs clothes as she is a single mother and most of her money goes to support herself, GD1 & GS1
5)Pokemon and stamps for Grand-daughter (Sara)(GD1)(9 yrs old)
6)Girly/Princess stuff for GD2 (Breanna)(7 yr old)

The rest of the people on my list are 7 males,(two nephews age 17, one nephew age 19, one nephew age 21, one brother age 45, one brother age 44 and my dad age 79) and 3 females, (sister age 42, Niece age 22 and SIL age 47. This is just my family.
In my husbands family are both his parents, a sister with 3 children (ages 9 boy, 7 boy, & 5 girl). Two brothers and one SIL. I am not sure their ages but my husband is 41 and they are all younger.
And Rowan's parents who are our best friends.
As you can see I have a large gift list and though for the children I try to get things for their birthdays the adults only get Christmas gifts. I thank you for reading this far and if you want to help this fond aunt out all help is gratefully received. If you can't think of anything for me something for them will be rewarded as if it were for me.

Hi, I received a envelope for the Cheap Postage october wishlist today. The envie was ripped and broken. I think the item got lost during shipping because there's not inside :[ Bummer.
Thank you for the beautiful poppy ATCs. It is a clever idea with the poem in little letters - although the one where the letters are bordered with grey comes across as being fuzzy (though I love the background poppy pattern). Sorry to not commenting earlier - they arrived when my hand was at its worst and I was unable to do anything, so put your envelope "somewhere safe"!
Thanks you for graning my wish in Cheap Postage
For granting an October wish! I loved the ATC stamp & the blanks. I also received your nice Brown themed ATCs from the flickr group Beginner ATCs...you made my day!!
You're very welcome for the Christmas cards and bookmark! I had a lot of fun (though some very trying times) making it! I'm just glad you liked it as it didn't turn out exactly as I had planned, lol!
Thank you so much for the postcards & envelopes for my November Wishlist! The vintage looking Easter postcards are so pretty, I'm not sure I want to part with them! And the handmade envelopes are beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the adorable owl labels for the Wishlist group! - Tia
