About Me

I'm 30 years old, married and a mom of 3 (twin 1 year old girls and a 3 year old boy). In my infrequent free time, I knit, crochet and do a teeny bit of scrap booking. I like coffee, chocolate, good rum and decent wool, not necessarily together or in that order. Currently, my favorite color is yellow.

I am running a (badly-spelled) group here on swap-bot to get people acquainted with ATC's in a non-scary environment. Go check it out.

I also just got into putting together bento-style lunches for the family, both to make lunchtime easier on Daddy (who is with the kids while I work in the daytime) and to get us to eat healthier - I want to expose the kids to a wide variety of foods before they get too picky.

Favorite Music

I love most music, but I am especially fond of Irish and Scottish folk music, Industrial, and punk.

Favorite Books

My favorite authors include:

  • Terry Pratchett (Discworld Series and other books)
  • Neil Gaiman
  • Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan comic book series)
  • I still love my Little House on the Prairie books and enjoy reading them to my kids
  • Clive Barker (especially Imagica) though I won't finish reading The Hellbound Heart
  • I have a soft spot for Christopher Pike (teen horror novels) though they're just funny now that I'm all grown up

Favorite Movies

I love lots of movies, but these are the ones immediately coming to mind:

  • V for Vendetta
  • Neverwas (OK, I'm a sucker for anything with Ian McKellan)
  • Iron Man (it was unexpectedly good)
  • Purple Rain
  • Documentaries
  • Monsters, Inc.
  • Up
  • Wall-E (really, who didn't like this movie)
  • Breakfast Club
  • The Goonies
  • 10 Things I Hate About You (really, it wasn't that bad)

Likes

  • yellow
  • sunny prints or patterns
  • paisley prints
  • ribbons
  • interesting buttons
  • yarn
  • art and ATC's from all over - i love to see other people's work
  • postcards
  • recycled and upcycled items ... I'm always looking to give old stuff new life
  • bento lunches, recipes, supplies (especially kid-friendly ideas and supplies)
  • cinnamon (candies and real)

Dislikes

  • people who judge the art they receive harshly. Come on people, these are swaps, not juried art shows. Stop sucking all the fun out of it.
  • Twilight (though I did think the movie was kinda cute - just sick of the girlie squeeing about it all over the place)
  • licorice
  • insincerity
  • pale watery florals. they remind me of the doctor's office.

Comment: Thanks for the postcard! I live in a condo and I have zero yard space, only a patio to grow anything on! lol Hoping one day for a nice big garden, too!
Response: That's why I loved that card so much - it was like a little window to my "someday" yard.

Comment: Thank you! I opened your card and just about laughed my backside off. Too perfect, thanks!
Response: You are very welcome! When I saw that postcard, I knew it was bound for greatness - and making a classic sculpture look like a flasher in the park :)

Comment: I love the prison break idea! The ATCs are so pretty and more than I have expected! Thank you for making my day and holding the swap! Thanks a lot!
Response: You're very welcome - the idea started with the fact that the postcard my first partner sent was from Alcatraz and I loved the contrast between the prison cell inside and the flowers and view outside.

Comment: Thank you so much for the Scottie dog zentangled postcard! I love the black and white theme and the subject. :D I also love the stamps. Thank you very much for them. I just saw them a few days ago on display at my local PO and made a mental note to pick up a sheet next time I needed stamps. If I could give you extra <3's I totally would. Great envie. :D
Response: You're quite welcome - I was caught by your description of your dogs as two very strange scottie dogs, indeed. So, I sought out to make one very strange scottie dog ...

Comment: Thanks so much for the darling cards - they're really cute and I love that they're not all exactly the same but they totally correspond. But my favourite part of the package was absolutely the "horrid gray rain." Smart aleck! Seriously, I LOVE it. Totally cute, totally clever, totally displayed on my bulletin board. :) Makes me smile every time I see it.
Response: I had to - it's my defiant streak! I had a lot of fun with the cards - it was my first time doing a set and now I keep my eye on the dollar bins for more crads to turn into handmade sets (ps- Target has cardmaking kits to do four cards for a dollar in their bins right now - eep!)
