About Me

Hi there! To tell you a few things about myself… I am married and we have 5 kitties and 1 dog. I enjoy reading, writing, playing the piano, cooking, taking pictures, watching movies, bowling, water aerobics, hanging out with my friends, hanging around livejournal, spending too much time on the internet, shopping, and that’s about all I can think of right now.

My biggest passion? Making jewelry. For some people making jewelry is a hobby, but for me it’s taken to the next level. I am passionate about creating things, and jewelry has always been a favorite, even since childhood. If you make lampwork beads, then THAT is what I want from you!! I love lampwork beads… I use only high quality lampwork, gemstone, and glass beads (primarily Swarovski crystals) in my jewelry. I do not use seed/bugle beads for the most part or plastic beads of any kind. Some people can use plastic and pull it off, but I am not one of those folks! I think the one thing that would really blow me over would be if you went to a local bead shop in your area and found something unique to send me!

As far as cooking goes, I’m pretty open to receiving recipes of any kind. I am a meat eater, and I am not a fan of most types of fish (other seafood like shrimp, crab, and lobster are faves though). I like salmon. Anyway… I am on a search for healthy and easy/quick recipes. If you have healthy recipes, please send them my way!! Anything involving a grill is great, because we love grilling.

I’m afraid that if you send me the following items, I will in turn send them to someone else. In other words… things I DON’T like or have no use for are: fabric, bar soap (I’m allergic), ribbon, yarn, vanilla scented items (allergic), perfumes (again, allergic), yellow-colored items, country/reggae/hard rock music, Kawai or Japanese type stuff, plastic beads.

Things I LOVE: fun/different office supplies, sparkly things, vintage anything (especially photos, postcards, letters, or ephemera), well-made handmade items, reading, writing (letters, poetry, etc), lotions, bath products (liquid/gel soap is great!), books, tea, magazines, coffee (if you send me coffee, please send whole bean), stationery, interesting papers (maps, newspapers, etc), music (mix cds are the best!), handmade journals, leather bound journals (I love leather!), recipes (especially healthy recipes!!!), cookbooks, new toys for the kitties, and old sheet music, books, etc (the more tattered the better).

Colors I like: PINK, purple, blue, green, red, orange, brown, and black. I guess I like all colors except yellow ;-)

I think that’s about it! Thanks for taking the time to read this. To me it’s really important to pay attention to what someone has written in their profile. I heart anyone who pays close attention to what I’ve written here, and when shopping for swaps I most definitely will take your profile into account!

Favorite Music

Oh geez. Across the board on this one... just about everything EXCEPT country music, hard rock, and reggae. When I bowl I have to have music with a good strong beat... I'm not a heavy metal fan either by the way. I can't deal with the screeching. Anyway... music is absolutely necessary to me. I HAVE to have it-- while driving, while working, while bowling, while doing just about everything. I got an mp3 player for my birthday, and I've been GLUED to it!! ;-)

Current favorites are: Adam Ezra (check him out at adamezra.com!), Faithless, Howie Day, Jack Johnson, Barenaked Ladies, Corinne Bailey Rae, Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Dave Matthews Band, David Gray, Dido, Evanescence, John Mayer, Justin Timberlake, Moby, Sarah McLachlan, U2, Scissor Sisters, Indigo Girls, Jem, Maroon 5, Pete Yorn... the list goes on!

Favorite Movies

Hm... Sliding Doors, Return to Me, Snatch, Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, Star Wars (all of 'em, except, well, #I), As Good As It Gets, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Big Fish, Finding Neverland, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Cutting Edge, Stealing Home, Finding Nemo, Mystery Alaska, Sixteen Candles..... I think that covers most of my faves... I love movies!

Favorite Television

Studio 60, Heroes, House, American Idol (I can't help myself), Grey's Anatomy, The Office, What Not to Wear... I think that's about it. I'm not big into TV, I can take it or leave it and if I had my way, we wouldn't even have TV in the house at all. But I do like to "watch" it while making jewelry. ;-)

Favorite Crafts

Jewelry, obviously... but I occasionally dabble in collage. I'm not that great at it, but I enjoy it. Sometimes I paint, too, although I haven't done that in a long time. I do what feels right, and for a couple of years now, jewelry is the only thing that has felt right.

Comment: I love love the selection of musicians that you have chosen. I think it's funny about the friends who were in the room next door in a girls only dorm. Sounds like college was fun for you. Thank you so much!

Comment: Thanks for the mix
Response: This is an unfair rating. I sent the cd months ago-- if you didn't receive it, I wish you had emailed me instead of assuming that I didn't send it.

Comment: I had to laugh at your card with the CDs because I have NO idea what would have given you the impression I wouldn't have liked the road trip mix! You actually have many of my favourite bands on there! (DM, New Order, Alphaville, etc.) But thank you for the extra CDs too, there is certainly alot to listen to! THANKS!!!
Response: Haha-- I saw that you liked 80s music, but there's a LOT of super-pop-y pop on that cd, and even I wasn't expecting it to turn out that way. You'll have to let me know how you like all the music!

Hi there,

Just checking to see if you got the cd I sent... I haven't received any messages saying you haven't but I also haven't received a rating. Let me know

Thanks

Felix on Mar 28, 2008:

Hi, I'm worried you didn't get the CD yet (Spread the word mix) and if you didn't, or if you really disliked the mix I sent, please let me know and I will send another...

...thanks for organising a good swap. Felix

lindalee - Thank you for such a wonderful month of goodies (25 Days of Christmas Swap). You should have seen me tonight - about threw a fit opening #24 and #25. A dazzling array of beautiful beads and the greatest rubber stamps - just my style! And favorite ink pads times three to boot (love the Distress pads and you sent me a new color I don't have). Pure joy! I've about used all of those fortune cookie stickers, too :) Thank you again for sending such fun and whimsy. Sending you and yours best wishes for a joyful 2008.

Lindalee: I'm so glad you enjoyed the journal package I sent. I had fun writing to you. :)

Thank you so much for the wonderful package lindalee!! I cannot wait to make something with that yummy yarn and the blue earrings exactly match a dress I am making for a special day. Thank you for your thoughtfulness!
