About Me

Hello! My name is Emily and I reside in California's San Fernando Valley with my wonderful husband, Sean, and our three feline children. I love being creative and using my hands to make things. I recently started a blog on blogspot called 'Crackbrain Crafter'. Feel free to check it out and learn a little more about me and the things I enjoy. I'm looking forward to meeting some fun and creative people on swap-bot!

For fun, I love...

crocheting, knitting, quilting, sewing, painting, needle felting, paper crafting, working in mixed media art forms, ATCs, talking to my family, cooking, decorating my nest, collecting buttons, reading Somerset Studio Magazine, pretending I'm on Broadway when no one is home!

Musical Inclinations

I love most styles of music...even a polka tune or two! (dont tell my husband! ;)

Among my favorites are Zoe Keating, George Winston, Rob Dickinson, Tom McRae, Tori Amos, Midori, U2, Hurt, Yo Yo Ma, Bond, Brandi Carlile, Poe, Blue Stone, Benassi Brothers, Achiella, to name a few.

Things That Make Me Happy

Colors: all greens, purples, and oranges, mustard yellow, teal, brown, & pink (who can pick just one?)

Buttons! - Pretty Pens and Markers - ATCs - Flowers - Rainy Days - Vintage Egg Images - Vintage Fabrics - Bird Cages - Pictures (old and new) - Miniatures (animal figurines~especially birds, and doll furniture) - Random Acts Of Kindness - Vintage Oval Picture Frames - Old Keys - Christmas & Christmas Lights - Candles - Insense - Bonne Bell Lip Smacker - Unexpected Calls From Loved Ones - Shoulder Bags & Totes - Rick Rack - Tea & Honey - Vintage Ephemera - Waking Up With All The Cats On The Bed ...

Hi Emily, I am making your "Something Black and White". Don't worry, it'll be worth more than $5.00 but hopefully, it'll be priceless to you. Your package will be mailed tomorrow - 03 Aug 09.
Serenity on Jul 10, 2009:

Ms. Emily, I noticed your birthday is the same day as my daughter Sierra {she will be sixteen}

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE.

I hope your day is full of blessings of love and laughter.
