I currently work a summer camp for 1st & 2nd graders. During the school year, I work with kindergarten-6th grade. 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!

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, 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, jewels/beads
