About Me

Hi. I'm a mom and wife who loves to craft. I love to read and have my quiet time. I love magazines as well. I have to be careful or I will bring half the bookstore home with me. :) We have a black and white schnauzer who thinks he's one of the kids. I love art with vintage dogs in it. I'm also very fond of birds, elephants, foxes, squirrels, hedgehogs, hippo's. I guess you could say forest and jungle animals.

My favorite store is anthropolgie and I love the style. I do seem to have a split personality when it comes to style because I'm also drawn to simple things with clean lines. Danish design is absolutely wonderful. A white back drop with a bright side and very colorful images. Simple with a pop of color. I also like retro style like in the 40's & 50's.

I'm inspired by vintage and modern children items.

I love using essential oils. Herb and earthy smells are what I like best. Kimono rose by Thymes is my favorite.

I'm obsessed with fabrics. Vintage fabric, feedsacks and japanese prints are my favorite. I tend to like small print and light and bright fabrics.
I also love colorful buttons.

My favorites colors changes a lot depending on what it's for but I love red as well as pinks, orange, whites. Blues and greens if there bright or vintage looking. I'm not to crazy about purple or dark colors.

Favorite Crafts

I love to paint, draw, sew, crochet, embroider and felting. I'm just getting into quilting. I like to try my hand in a little of everything.

Things I'm fond of.

Stationery & paper, note pads, cute & different To-Do lists, stickers, blank cards, vintage baby diaper pins, vintage dog items, handmade items, can't go wrong there. ribbons, buttons, japanese crafts, cute stuff, organic and natural things, chocolate, chai tea, book markers, decorative office supplies like cute push pins & colorful clips, etc., fabric, charms, girly things, vintage items, things that are happy, cheerful, and put a smile on your face.

Dislikes

Negative, rude people and attitudes. Skulls and such. Primitve style, Disney.

Comment: Gina!! Thank you SO much for the jar full of goodies! They were so particular to my likes, and the tiny spa slippers!!! OMG! So cute! I have the jar sitting on my dressing table and I had so much fun looking at all the pretties! I love the colors of the beads, buttons and the ribbons... Thanks for being a great partner. Ali
Response: Glad you liked them. I had a very hard time because as I pulled out all my goodies and was putting them into the jar my kids kept saying "Oh that's so cute, can I please have it." :)

Comment: WOW! This is the best swap ever!!! You did such a great job searching out items!! Did you make the tote? I am in love with it, and it comes at a perfect time since my beloved monster purse is braking, I know have an even better one! Thanks for each item, each one is amazing! Its as if ya know me :) Your kindness is so very appreciated! Thanks so much for everything Gina! I've posted photos of everything in the gallery and my Flickr :) <3
Response: Thanks. I'm so so glad you liked everything, I had fun putting it together. I bought the plain canvas tote but I did the octupus embroidery on it. There pretty sturdy totes so it should last a while. :)Happy Holidays
