Hi, I'm the mother of two wonderful kids. I work full time and do crafting as a hobby/stress reliever. I like making greeting cards and do a lot of origami. The main materials I work with are paper, paper and more paper. Did I mention I love paper?

Card Making, Origami, I've just discovered the world of ATC's, Altered Art, Collages, Paper Mosaics and would like to do more with this. I would love to receive little bits and pieces, charms, ephemera, things I can use on my new found interests. I have an ETSY store under the name of shutupandfold.

I've just finished my first Dotee doll and matchbox So there's another craft/addiction to add to my list.

I like all types of music, rock, country, blues (not really a specific type but a song that stays in my head) Some of my favorites songs are by Carley Simon, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Cass Elliot. I also like the Eagles, Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, Beatles, music from the 60's and 70's (I'm old!) Joss Stone, K.T. Tunstall

A bit of everything. Biographies, Poetry Collections, Historical Fiction, How To Craft Books - some of my favorites (I'm reading now) are Peony In Love, Girl with the Pearl Earring, Empress Orchid. The Other Boleyn Girl. I like doing Puzzles, Mazes, Sudoku, Logic Puzzles. Reading Comics - Peanuts! - Calvin and Hobbes - For Better Or Worse. Trivia and Useless Information (Could come in handy someday, You never know!)
