I am married, no children, in the military and just love to have fun, be myself....read, swim, and a lot of other verbs that would take hours to list. I have a cat and will soon have two dogs and a new home.

I like beautiful earth based things, stuff that reminds of me of nature and its beauty. I would love to get beautiful items that have a bit of the makers personality in them.

I am of the Pagan religious persuasion I would love to receive items related to my religion but only from those who are of the same religious persuasion. Thanks.

• For customization my patron Goddess is Durga and I have a good affinity for the Norse pantheon....for the adventurous. I also really like Krishna as well.

I love to read, my husband and I have a library of over 500 books, a few of my absolute fav's are the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward, the Kushiel Series by Jaqueline Carrey, I also love The Mists of Avalon.

Fav Authors: J.R. Ward, Jaqueline Carrey, Marion Zimmer Bradley, P.C. Cast, Terry Goodkind (the books not the accursed TV show that wants to be based on his books), Maria Snyder, Sherrilyn Kennyon, thats all I can think of off the top of my head.

I love bookmarks (and making them), ATCs, Inchies, Journals, Chunky Books and pages, Fun stuff...most of the items I make are paper, my sewing machine and I are at a disagreement and its winning. I can also do herb packets and mixed Cds.

"Ever as I pass through the ways so I feel the presence of the Gods. I know that in aught I do they are with me! They abide in me and I in them, forever. No evil shall be entertained, for purity is the dweller within me and about me. For good do I strive and for good do Iive. Love unto all things. So be it, forever." - Seax Wica Psalm
