About Me

Hi! I am a married mom of 3 boys! I am a perennial plant grower and work at a lovely nursery selling them along with other nice things.. I love books, paper,art,dance,music and life...i love sending and receiving real mail...I am very excited to join the swap!!I am creative and love making weird things(haha). I like antique furniture and everything in the anthropologie stores!!I sometimes write or draw. One of my children is a dancer/choreographer,one is a college student, with an amazing incredible mind, and one is a baseball player,yo-yo expert and all round funny guy. I feel lucky! I do watch television, its just that i hardly ever have time...someday though!! I Love movies, foreign and old as well as new...theres only so many hours in the day...

Favorite Music

I listen to everything...literally. I like so many different things, instrumental, jazz, classical, r&r, pop,foreign music, "alternative", small town band...My two least faves are hardcore/metal and some sappy country songs...

Favorite Books

Books are one of my favorite things in the entire universe... I LOVE reading...its a wonderful part of life. SOME authors i love are Barb.Kingsolver,John Steinbeck, Jonathon Safran foer, John Irving, Dave Eggers...TOO many to name. Some all time faves:' The god of small things', 'Extremely loud and Incredibly close', 'Life of Pi', 'Animal dreams','Native son', 'To kill a mockingbird','Eat pray love'..and I love good non fiction and documentaries too... .OH I COULD GO ON AND ON... aren't stories amazing?

things

I just enjoy so many things...i love seeing new places and experiencing life and friendships. i love paper, making collages and things. Love postcards, artwork, bags,(the kind you carry stuff in), great clothes and shoes, food, old dishes, coffee, small bakery/bread shops, thrift stores, the fabulous city of Chicago, plants, dance, movies, theater, dark beer, watching my talented children do funny things haha, NYC, trees, rainy days,sunny days, good humor and laughing, and springtime!!!!!

Favorite Crafts

I must say that I love collage, found object art and altered things like journals as well as other things... I am not a scrap-booker. I love painting and drawing( but don't do it alot) I see art in EVERYTHING everywhere I look. Fabric is extremely interesting to me,although I don't really sew...hmmm. love homemade things even if they're not my style.

Comment: Hi Lois, Thank you for the lovely notecard, and decorated envelope. I never realized how a simple drawing on the outside on an envelope could liven up the mail so much. What a special touch. I really enjoyed reading about this small piece of your life. I think we may actually have quite a bit in common ;o). Your sons sound wonderful; how could they be anything else with a great mom like you!
Response: thank you,Wendi, that is very kind of you! xo

Thank you, Lois, for the stately palm tree and neon wild rose notecards - they are both great! The Celestial Seasonings PC with your note is also bright and cheery - thx.. Hugs, Terry (NTG - WTA - Sept)

Hey Lois, Thanks so much for the lovely Kalimeris incisa notecard you sent me for the August Notecards To Go WTA. I'd love some of that in my garden. It reminds me a bit of chamomile. Thanks also for the nice note on your handmade notecard and the decorated envelope - I'm looking forward to your letter! Sam xoxo

Hi, lois! I recived the card you sent me for the June WTA notecard contest. It is beautiful! Did you make it yourself? I love the geometric theme. And the envelope you sent it in was decorated so prettily, too. And the postcard was very fun, too. Thank you so much!
