I am a married lady in Alabama with three little dogs and a handmade pond with goldfish--I belong to several groups with various types of crafts -- I was a part-time police dispatcher who became a 12 hour a day police dispatcher till my brain exploded and I went to work for a tax prep company -- I love doing crafty things, enjoy getting to know other crafty people, enjoy reading blogs of crafty people. There are so many great people out there!!! I don't do much with the myspace any more--but it is there.

I love paper crafts!!! It was here at swap-bot that I discovered handmade notecards, envelopes, postcards and ATCs. I have albums where I keep all the great postcards and ATCs I have received in swaps. Seeing the artistic creations of others encourages me to expand my own endeavors!!! I love rating 5 plus a heart!!!

By the way, my picture IS the north pier lighthouse at St. Joseph, Michigan. I grew up near there. The area of the north pier lighthouse and Jean Klock Beach to the north of the St. Joe River and the south pier and Silver Beach to the south of the river--that is my favorite spot to be in the entire world!!! (Year round!!!) But, I moved to Alabama when I became an adult and the older I get, the more sure I am that I could not live up there again!! Alabama winters are as cold as I can handle!!

I love all colors--pale, bright, even black and white!! Number one AQUA.

Enjoy lots of music variety. Rap is not music. HipHop is. R and B is. Andrea Bochelli is. Enya is. Pink Floyd is.

I read alot. Love Anne Rice (everything--including those books under her pen names). Enjoy Dean Koontz, Andrew Greeley and Lawrence Sanders. Lots of non-fiction as well.

Favorite movies include Ghost, Sweet November and all Indiana Jones.

Favorite TV shows are all CSI, All My Children, lots of PBS and The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

I believe in fairies and brake for yard sales!!
