I love making cards, reading and living a frugal life. I also daydream about going into people's houses to help them declutter/organize, and then give the useful items to various charities in the Wisconsin Rapids area... which hopefully will become more then just a dream.

I use a lot of different elements when I make cards, but I really enjoy using ribbon, brads and unique rubber stamps (not just the flower, baby, animal ones that you see at the craft stores).

I am getting into the art of Rockabilly (cherries, vintage tattoos, pin-up girls, etc...)and have a thing for peacocks and purple.

I would love to someday have all the art on my walls be other people's original artwork. I'm well on my way with three drawings, a painting, and photographs.

I also enjoy the occult... but like my witches not to be ugly old hags! I'm more into tarot cards and celebrating the Sabbats/Esbats, then into the Goth end of it.

When it comes to jewelry I'm more of an earrings and rings type of girl. I wear a lot of earth tones, but since I love color sometimes I'll wear a white shirt just so my rings/earrings will show up better.

Since I do love color my house shows it!

My bedroom is a dusty rose with flower photos in pinks and purples that my husband has shot.

The dining room has a dark green accent wall and there are various pumpkin and leaf items scattered about.

The bathroom is lilac with frogs and fairies complimenting the walls.

My kitchen has had it's cabinets painted a robin egg blue, with a distressed look so there is some dark brown peeking out. There's no real theme in there, but I do have a beautiful drawing of a witch done by an artist in Milwaukee.

And my porch (my favorite room in the house)has three light green walls, and the fourth wall is painted in vertical stripes of three different greens (from light to dark)... It seems to have acquired a butterfly/dragonfly theme... along with bright flowers.
