About Me

  • If I am in a swap and haven't signed on in a while, don't worry - I will definitely be following through with the swap! If you are worried you can contact me via e-mail to verify that I am still interested.*

If you are sending me a postcard, please try not to mail it in an envelope - i really prefer postcards that go through the mail.

I am female of 23 years, graduated from college with a degree in creative writing, currently a book store manager :) I got married August 2nd, 2008 to my love of 9 years, and we're happy as can be. I truly love getting interesting and random mail, and I like to wonder if I bring any joy to the postal workers who deliver and sort my mail. Getting and sending snail mail is practically my favorite thing in the world >_ currently am in love with sewing, it's nearly all I do! I love to cook Asian foods and bake for my husband, Aj @CaptainDaydream . I lived in Japan in early 2007, and I miss it very very much. I also love making matchboxes, cooking/baking, reading novels, collecting photos and cool magazine articles, watching movies while crafting, writing letters, margaritas, playing with my dogs, vintage postcards and children's books, vintage eyelet lace and craft supplies, useful kitchen items, art supplies and DIY ideas, PENZEYS spices, nintendo DS and Wii, toast, pretty purses or totes, Carl Sandburg, fantastic quotes, coloring books and lots of other ridiculous things.

My favorite color is purple, all shades! My favorite color combination is pink and brown. I don't like yellow or orange. I also adore candles but I am picky and I prefer WHITE BARN and YANKEE CANDLE, and Pier 1 Imports - anything GOOD quality. My favorite scent is vanilla. I also love honeysuckle and lavender. I love strawberries - they're cute and delicious!

I LOVE clothing and shopping. Some of my favorite stores are Forever 21, Sephora, and Charlotte Russe and I wear a size small and LOVE accessories.

I have two dogs, a Corgi (boy, named Ein) and a Mini Daschund (girl, named Kiki). My dogs loves stuffed toys (please only quality toys they tear them up really quickly if they're bad quality), pizza,peanut butter, and frosted/sprinkles treats.They also love squeakers, and can wear clothes, size medium and small. They're both very long. See my flickr for pictures.

Favorite Books

Favorite Authors is better.... Bill Bryson, Barbara Kingsolver, Neil Gaiman, Christopher Paolini, Garth Nix, Phillip Pullman, Roald Dahl, JK Rowling, Cornelia Funke, Louise Rennison, Stephenie Meyer, oh I could go on and on....

I manage a book store and I'm on paperbackswap.com so usually I don't need books, but I want a lot of current books that haven't hit the used market yet. If you have a REALLY great book you think I'd like, totally send it.

BOOK WISHLIST:

  • The Icebound Land by John Flanagan

Favorite Movies

Ever After, anything Disney (the originals, anyway), Bride and Prejudice, Goonies, Princess Mononoke, The Princess Bride, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, Shimotsuma Monogatari (Kamikaze Girls),Totoro, Shrek, Elf, Stranger than Fiction... the list goes on forever. Sense & Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice (I have BBC and Kiera Knightly ones)

I LOVE to watch movies and TV while I sew. I have a VCR & DVD player.

Favorite Television

right now: GLEE!!!! I love it! 30 Rock, LOST, ugly betty, PROJECT RUNWAY, top chef - i also really liked The Unusuals before they canceled it >:(

Favorite Crafts

Sewing, Paper craft, Stamp Carving, Embroidery, knitting with quality fibers and unique yarns. I LOVE Zakka-craft. Anything Zakka style is fantastic.

Dislikes

♦BANANA or CHERRY flavored things - ew. I hate the smell of those too. ♦I don't dislike Sanrio but I live right next to a Sanrio store... ♦Lipsmackers. or LIP GLOSS (I ONLY like lip balm and lip tint) ♦DOTEE DOLLS ♦bratz or barbies. ♦Disney Princess stuff (except belle). ♦Diddl ♦Snoopy ♦decorative things that aren't functional. ♦Junk from the dollar store.

I am not religious so no crosses or religious items please. Holiday items are fine, however! I celebrate Christmas, Easter, and all that good stuff.

Please do not send me items that are handmade without love. I love to get handmade things, but not if your definition of handmade is a card made of cardstock, a sticker and some writing. If you handmake something for me, I expect to be able to tell that you care about what you made. NO JUNK!

I'll Love You Forever If...

PLEASE SEE MY WISHPOT WISHLIST IN MY LINKS ABOVE FOR IDEAS!!

Cookies, for my dogs Ein & Kiki. Handmade items. Pins (buttons). Unique or vintage craft supplies. Kawaii or Japanese items. BENTO ITEMS!!! Japanese flavored kitkats or unique European candies. Oh and I LOOOOOOOOVE chip and dale!!! anything with them on it is bound to make me happy!

Kawaii Likes/Dislikes

My favorite kawaii animals are panda & deer and HEDGEHOGS!, but I love almost anything. I particularly love food with faces (especially lunch foods/bento, shumai, gyoza, sushi, tofu, or breakfast foods like waffles/pancakes).

Right now I'm really wanting kawaii-style LLAMA/ALPACA ANYTHING!
