"It's the tragedy of loving, you can't love anything more than something you miss." - Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Hi! I'm Katie, 26, and living in North Carolina. I live with my boyfriend, and our mini zoo. Together we have 2 dogs and 3 cats. We also run our own bookstore/art gallery in addition to running 2 booths at a local antique mall.

~ Pets ~ Both of our dogs are 5 years old. Harvey, she's my Australian Shepherd/Boxer Mix. She's the funniest girl around. Devendra, he's our Australian Shepherd/ German Shepherd mix, when he smiles he looks like Tom Haverford (and when he yawns he looks like a Tim Burton/Pee Wee character). Our cats are old as dirt. Nadira is about 14, Daniel is about 11, and White Cat is somewhere between 8 and 11.

I've been knitting for 10ish years, I also enjoy embroidery and other various crafts. I'm hoping to learn how to crochet so I can make granny squares and do amigurumi.

Outside of crafting I enjoy photography. I normally shoot with either my Nikon N80, Holga 120N, Kodak Brownie, or my newest piece a La Sardina Marathon. When I remember I try to drag my Polaroid, the expired film gives photos amazing colors. I've also been using my HTC One V with Instagram.

I'm wanting to collect more vintage My Little Pony, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Doctor Who, and Studio Ghibli items!

Doctor Who If you live in England and would be willing to do a stamp swap- I'd kill for a sheet of the 50th anniversary Doctor Who stamps. We could do a sheet for something I can get over here. Or something that you'd rather swap for!

-- Religious Items (crosses, angels, bibles, etc) -- CLOWNS -- realistic Gnome items (the only gnomes that are OK'ed are David the Gnome & knitted/crocheted gnomes) -- beef & pork (bacon excluded) recipes (unless it's German/Swedish. I usually can't have either, but for those I'd make it.) -- Republican propaganda (not sure if anyone in the US would send this, but just as a precautionary measure)
