I Live in Charlotte, North Carolina. We are located in what is called the Piedmont region which is between the mountains and beach. Just close enough to each to be wonderful. I live on Lake Wylie which means my neighbors across the way are in South Carolina. Retired and enjoying life.

Beach Music and a little of everything else. Easy listening and everything Andrew Lloyd Webber. I particularly enjoy the music of the 50's and 60's. Just love that ole time rock n roll. It really does soothe my soul.

Just happened this year that we went to see most of the movies that are up for awards. I loved the Help. War Horse was in my opinion the best of all, The Decendents I also enjoyed. Let's face it Clooney is not hard to look at but in this movie he seemed to show his age. I enjoyed Money Ball even though I don't care for Brad.

Like Chic Flicks and Comedy. Of course, my all time favorites would have to include Gone With the Wind being the good Southern Gal I am, Beaches, Steel Magnolias and To Kill a Mockingbird. Do you see a little Southern flavor here? Don't get to the movies much. That is one thing I thought we would do when we retired but seem to stay too busy doing other things. The year 2011 was unusual - as I said we saw most of those in the running.

Big Bang Theory...I love Sheldon. Sort of reminds me of someone I know. In the summer I watch Closer, Rozzli and Isles, Royal Pains and any sitcom that may be playing. Enjoy Harry's Law and The Good Wife. Recently tuned in to The Firm - it may be a keeper. I usually just record the shows and then can watch at my convenience.

Love Fabric,yarns,beads,buttons,paper and making things out of found objects. Guess I love almost every type of craft. I like neutrals but also brights. Believe I actually lean to the fall colors. But still love those brights.

I sew and crochet a little but never did learn to knit. I have enjoyed altering many things. Not into right now but in the past I swapped ATCs, Fat Book pages, Postcards and altered puzzles.

Don't wear makeup or jewelry very much.

I don't care for scented things. My nose seems to be particulary sensitive. Recently found out I am very allergic to cig smoke.

I am actually easy to please and if you send something I don't care for I will re-gift (except things smelling like smoke)

Don't care for people who never let you know if your package arrived.

I try my best to keep up with all the swaps, tags, etc. but if you are missing something please message me.
