I'm a 40 something mother of two with brownish hair and freckles - everything else changes without notice! . I have two pussy cats , my little dog Toto passed away September 1st.

I like the colour green, I pretty much love everything dragon. History and mythology are big in our house too.

I enjoy most kinds of music but I'm not a fan of either rap or country and western. Thrash metal (aka screaming) isn't to my taste either. I'm partial to what is now referred to as "oldies" - music from the 70's and 80's.

I like Mercedes Lackey, Stephen King, Kathy Reichs, Jane Austen. I'll pretty much read anything other than Harlequins.

I'm gonna sound like a huge geek but I loves the musicals - My Fair Lady, The King and I . Not a big fan of either horror or actions movies.

I like a good procedural - CSI, Cold Case, Forensic Files and I love documentaries.

I sew, knit (not very well as I'm teaching myself but I'm getting better lol), I recently finished making a "sackboy" stuffie for my b/f and it turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself lol. Recently, I've been making dolls, stuffies and sock monkeys. I've also taken up origami and I'm really enjoying that - it's amazing how much origami paper I've been using lol.

I really like surfin the net, penpalling and Postcrossing - I've been postcrossing for over a year now and the sheer joy of getting something in the mail that WASN'T a bill was what brought me here LOL.

• stationery - I love it and although I don't have HORDES of penpals I seem to go through the stuff pretty quickly - guess I need to write shorter letters LOL

  • dragons - anything dragon - really I like them all

  • Hello Kitty - I personally am not a huge HK fan, my daughter loves it

  • Japanese stuff - anything at all really japanophilia runs rampant in this place

  • Egypt/egyptian things are always welcome

  • a bento box - since it is a wishlist lol

  • real "red heel" socks to make sock monkeys out of - I can't find anything even close to them

  • origami paper - any colour, size or shape I can use them all - I've been making kusudamas, kimono dolls and bookmarks

  • souvenirs from your country - keyrings, magnets even postcards - I love getting things from far away

  • I've been "upgrading" my charm bracelet so I'm looking for charms from different places

  • I received a really really cool tea that I loved it was "Che Mate" from South America and I would truly enjoy getting more of that

• dragons

  • flavoured teas

  • silver (it's shiny lol)

  • green is my favorite colour but I like blue and purple as well - I'm more fond of the deeper shades than the neon LOL

  • lime and lemon are my most loved flavours

  • stationery - I've got A LOT but I love it

  • interesting fabrics - they don't need to be quilt shop quality - I'm not a fabric snob

  • cool beads

  • socks - colourful funky socks, my daughter has a thing for socks and whatever she doesn't use I make into a sock monkey!

Dislikes

• flowery perfume - really bad on me - I have some kind of oddly acidic skin that not only turns silver black, it also makes a flower perfume smell like I've been having a good roll in a dumpster

• religious stuff - I have no problem with other people's religions but please don't share - I don't try to get you to convert to worshiping the Invisible Pink Unicorn (Blessed be her Holy Hooves) so please give me the same courtesy.
