I love to read almost anything! I have a large collection of children's books that grows weekly. I also love cookbooks and scrapbooking books. I'm a fan of Oprah's Book club too!

P.S. I'm a literacy specialist so I can use all sorts of things related to reading & writing. I especially like things for my office and wearable publicity for literacy (t-shirts, pins, etc.)

My family is the most important thing to me. My husband is a cowboy and a firefighter/paramedic. He is also a fabulous campfire or grill cook. We have one daughter, Emma, who started kindergarten this fall. She is a glamour girl and loves glitter, pink, nail stickers, and such. I always appreciate extra things for them.

I love candy! (but no sugar-free stuff--I'm allergic to aspertame, phenylanine, etc.) Chocolate is definitely this girl's best friend, especially if it has caramel too. I love to make cupcakes and decorate cakes! (I also like anything related to cupcakes or chocolate, like things decorated with them.) I love chicken recipes and mexican food too, especially salsa.

My kitchen is decorated in vintage fruit. The colors are muted, somewhat faded. I love kitchen things--dishcloths, cookie cutters, gadgets, small framed art, etc. I also enjoy vintage prints of all kinds.

My bedroom is very traditional in cherry wood with blue and white linens and accessories. I especially love blue toile prints or white pillowcases with some type of trim like lace or embroidery.

My daughter's room is fuschia, purple, turquoise--very bright. She loves things with her name on them.

The rest of my house is hodge-podge, basic khaki. I appreciate that it is a place to relax and so I love cozy throw blankets, candles, and things that make it feel homey. Oh, I love to decorate for Christmas and Easter.
