I'm a farm-girl wannabe, worm wrangler, and cat herder living in the north Florida 'burbs with my husband. I'm interested in rural renaissance and leaving a smaller footprint. Also, I'm 42, work part-time at a library and am a graduate student in Library & Information Studies.
I enjoy growing organic herbs and veggies and butterfly gardening; camping; baking; reading fiction, non-fiction and memoirs; natural soaps; being a Mac user; avoiding housework; traveling; learning; Kliban's cats; Boynton's farm animals; drinking red wines; visiting bookstores and coffee shops; motorcycling (I ride a Harley); kayaking; being in nature; being around animals; watching movies; listening to music; going to museums; Bookcrossing (I'm RidingReader); geocaching; scavenger hunts; hanging clothes to line dry; friends; photography; collecting memories; and correspondence.
I make my own toothpaste and I adore autumn, I have an addiction to paper, and I LOVE CHICKENS!
I'm a Chemo and Senior Angel.
For swap partners... PLEASE include your swap name and the name of the swap in your mailing!!
YES to: organic, earthy, natural, whimsical, folksy/folkart, chickens, cats, rural life, and earthy colors. I have a wish list of sorts lower in my profile.
NO to: cutesy or country themes, religious, baby or kid stuffs, fantasy/sci-fi, teacher stickers, pirates, skulls, bright colors, glittery things, anything "diva", coffee, or things that use a lot of artificial flavorings or scents. PLEASE, save your dollars and pass on sending me Dollar Store junk. NOTHING BLUE, it is my least favorite color. Oh, I abhor WAL-MART.
VERY IMPORTANT -- If you're a smoker, you may not realize this but what you send arrives smelling like smoke. PLEASE, be thoughtful of the recipient and let your things air-out OUTSIDE of your home before sending. I end up throwing away a lot of stinky stuff because the smell just won't go away!
At any given time I may listen to: Dean Martin, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Norah Jones, Jill Scott, Jack Johnson, John Legend, John Mellencamp, Johnny Cash, a movie soundtrack, The Beatles, kd lang, U2, Diana Krall, The Gotan Project, Devo, Dido, The Black-Eyed Peas, The B-52s, Beethoven, Beck, Frank Sinatra, Sarah McLachlan, anything from the 80s, The Dave Matthews Band, The Ditty Bops, Pink Martini, world music, well, you get the idea. Eclectic.
Amelie, Chicken Run, Benny & Joon, the FIRST Star Wars, Cinema Paradiso, Il Postino, Raising Arizona, The Secretary, Somewhere in Time, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Cool Hand Luke, To Kill a Mockingbird... I'm a movie junkie, really. I borrow from the library and am a Netflixer and love documentary, independent foreign film. I do not watch TV except for some shows on DVD.
In general, papercrafting: mail art, collage, card making, rubber stamping, and eventually scrapbooking. I'm interested in art journaling, book altering, embroidery, sewing and knitting although I've yet to give them a try or I'm just now starting to experiment.
PRACTICE RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS!!!
RECYCLE - REUSE - REPURPOSE!!!
