Small town New Jersey girl. Just a mile from the ocean. I can see it from my roof. Hear it from my front porch. I grew up in this town. The smell of honeysuckles and salt water is the most amazing smell in the world to me. It smells like home.

I'm a doll maker. I taught myself how to crochet in Oct of 2011 and it's pretty much my life now. Even have my own shop on Etsy. Check it out. ^_^ (link above)

Im a gamer, a strange kid, a cartoon watcher, i loathe laundry and I'd rather be camping than almost anything else Im supposed to be doing. Im laid back and don't like trouble. I have an off sense of humor. I sing a lot, and dance. Im not very good at either, though.

I'm a little odd. My mother said its I march to the beat of my own drum. I say I'm freakin' strange. Its okay. Whos "normal" anyway, right? I can be a little.... crass, and I have a mouth on me, but I know how to clean it up when I have to. Contrary to what my mother thinks, I can be civilized!

I have a live in boyfriend. We've been together since 2007, and he's quite interested in the things I make. He is just as interested as i am about the things I get from my fellow swappers.

I'm an animal person and currently,we fire bellied toads, clown fish, and our rescued and hilariously grumpy half english budige named Lady. [ who currently is stuck on the phrase "hello bird . pretty Ladybiiiiird KISS" like a skipping record. Even while she sleeps. Thats a little creepy. ]
