During the school year, I work with kindergarten-5th grade. In the summer, I do day camp (ages change each summer). I enjoy doing arts/crafts with "my kids" as well as on my own at home.

I enjoy working with different media. I like to find ways to recycle interesting items I find/receive. I love to scrapbook! Then I came across ATCs. I thought this would be a great opportunity to use my scrapbook techniques on a smaller scale. I am always looking for new ways to express my creativity. I've done cross stitch. I'm interested in learning the art of stamping and quilling.

LOVE to read! The only thing I don't really read are westerns and not much heady romantic novels (like Harlequin romance)

Adventure, Psychological thrillers, horror, suspense, comedies, dramas, etc. Love to see a good movie!

Medium, Supernatural, Reaper, The 4400, Smallville, Ghost Whisperer, Law & Order:SVU, Without a Trace, Lost, Heroes, Friends (loved the X-Files and really miss it!), also love and miss Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel

Although I would define my tastes as eclectic, I'm an 80's girl so almost anything from this era! My favorite is Bon Jovi. I don't care for heavy, violent/graphic rap! I like some "country". I've been getting into some Christian Rock lately. I like uplifting music.

Dolphins, scrapbooking, Ireland/Irish heritage; being with family/friends

photography, lilies (Stargazers, mostly), anything Celtic/Irish, hearts, did I mention dolphins! & ocean/sea life, dogs (smaller breeds mostly, but love Huskies); going to garage sales/thrift stores and finding treasures to create with; purple (any shade) is my favorite color, then red, pink, blue, green

any violent/sexually graphic items; the color orange (except as pertaining to fall); anything depicting prejudices (unless it's to prove a point artistically)

any embellishments, pretty/cool papers, ideas/instructions on stamping & quilling, ribbons, stickers (esp. vellum and epoxy), lace, rub-ons, jewels/beads
