lissame

I am a SAHM of 3 boys. They keep me busy, aged 8, 6 and 3.5. They don't stop until they go to bed do I am one tired mamma. I love it though. In between school I taxi boys to swimming and scouts. One in Beavers and one in Cubs. The youngest withes that he could go. I spend some time volunteering at the schools library putting books away or fixing them. In all of this I try to find some time for myself crafting in my little space. I love paper so I do 3D items often, scrapbook, cards, ATCs, and when that doesn't hold my interest I will pick up my crochet needles and whip together some doilies, toques, scarves, anything really. Then when I am bored I will try my hand at some other media to broaden my horizons.

I am pretty eclectic with the music but I love Tori Amos, in fact I think I have all of her albums, I also love Enya. Went to school with her cousin...so it really is kind of a personal liking. I love Bare Naked Ladies as well as many other Canadian artists...like to support the local arts as much as I can.

I love Mercedes Lackey, I have so many of her books it is most easier to ask what I don't have. I also love Marrion Zimmer Bradly. There are others but mostly these find there way into my collection no matter what it is...

I love all of the CSI shows, Law and Order SVU and CI, I didn't fall in love with Grey's Anatomy until the third season but now I can't wait to see the next show. I also love House...though I can't stand any horror flicks...I haven't been able to watch much t.v. lately so thank goodness for pvr. I record the shows that I want and watch them later when the boys are asleep...or when I can't sleep.

I haven't found a craft that I can't do. I currently though love to scrapbook, stamping, card making, cross stitch, crochet and occasionally you might find me painting. I also have other crafts in my collection such as beading that I like to tinker with.

When it comes to swapping I love nice and neat FBs, both regular and mom only. I also love making and swapping decos. I also am an avid sticker and stationary fan...so if it fits in an envie I think of it as fair game...the only thing that seems to ever get in the way is the cost of postage.

I dislike things that my partner put no effort in. I really dislike sloppy fbs, they drive me nuts. If you want to swap then at least put a little effort in it.

I also dislike black ink pens, it is the cheapest colour of ink and I really dislike it. Not sure where my distaste comes from but I just don't write with them unless it is for legal purposes.

Crafting Materials - ATC card stock - fibers - glass beads - glitter - peel off stickers

I am sure I will add to this list as time goes on. Thanks for looking.
