I live in the southern US. I am a Mom to three wonderful boys. My oldest is age 4 and twins age 2 1/2. I have a wonderful husband whom I adore. I am a teacher of scrapbooking and altered arts and ATC classes at my local Scrapbook store, and at a local girls home. I am also an absolute Starbucks fanatic, and spend WAY too much time and money in drive thrus, lol! I love to work with cool new techniques, and am constantly pushing myself to learn more each day. I have been in the art world for many years but paper arts became my favorite medium 3 years ago. I also love working with glass and altering almost anything from tins, to recycled jam jars, frapp bottles, and mini fruit cans. I love antique lace and skeleton keys and search every antique store I can find for cool stuff I can use in my art. I also love buttons, ribbons and fibers. I can never get too much of any of these items!

I love almost any type of music but nasty lyrical rap, and not a huge fan of most classical. Among my favs are 80's, alternative, and today's country.

Pretty In Pink, St. Elmo's Fire, Breakfast Club, Blind Date, Wierd Science, Real Genius, Dirty Dancing, also 10 Things I hate about you, Chocolat, First Wives Club, Coyote Ugly, Jerry Maguire, Enemy at The Gates, The Fisher King, and Titanic Would love to have The Fisher King on DVD...I still just have the VHS hee hee!! Pretty much I like any murder mystery, teen type , or happy ending movies. I also like action flicks just no martial arts.

GREY'S ANATOMY def my fav...Mc Dreamy, he can visit me anytime!! House M.D. definately my second pick. We enjoy watching Ice Road Truckers and The Deadliest Catch on TV. I also like Nip Tuck, Without a Trace, 24, and Smallville Funny thing is I only watch them on DVD though, lol!

I am an avid reader and love anything murder mystery, or autobiographical of public figures. Especially those in the movies, or movie industry or aviation. JFK, Princess Di, I have those covered. Despise romance novels also. Some of my fav authors, Stephen King...own ALL his publications to date, James Patterson, also own all his except the love story series. Missing the last book in the Maximum Overdrive series. Love the Kay Scarpetta books from Patricia Cornwell. Stuart Woods, just starting him, and love everything so far. Nora Roberts has some good boooks, but I like the murder mysteries, not the full out romance books.Also I live near Memphis and am moving to Tupelo where all my family lives so no Elvis, I think I have lived and breathed enough of him, lol! I also love zines...I am new to them so pretty much anything artsy, or sex in the cityish or murder mystery would be great!
