I live in Arizona, please do not send me any soaps, candles, chocolate, or soft candies at this time of year, they will melt!! Also, do not send bottles of body wash type products or lotions as the heat causes them to swell and leak

I am 40 years, and live with my boyfriend. We have 6 cats (Allison, Grayson, Maverick, Shadow, Peanut, and Fiona), no kids, but I do have an adorable niece and nephew. My boyfriend and I buy, fix up and sell houses, this keeps me busy full time. I love playing Texas hold-em poker in the bar leagues, working on my crafts, reading, gardening(vegetable and fruit), Detroit Red Wings, and hockey in general, University of Michigan Football. I love to shop, some of my favorite stores are Borders, Barnes and Noble, Old Navy, Joanns etc, Ross, Target, Ulta, stampworks, and Paper Studio, skybluepink, Amazon..

I absolutely love Christmas, everything about it, I love when the stores start getting all set up for it, I never think it's too early. I love Christmas music also, during the holiday I listen to the 24 hour christmas station.

I collect nesting dolls, cat stuff, figurines(cats, cute chickens, cute bunnies, cute cows, cute hedgehogs),CharmmyKitty, Mixed Cats, Nyanko cats, Lilliput Lane houses, small, unique figurines from other countries, coins from different countries, printed matter in foreign languages (old books, mags, comic books, kids books, newspaper pages).

I love general craft and papercrafting (not scrapbooking) magazines from other countries, preferably in English, but if they have lots of pics and diagrams, then another language is ok.

I drink a lot of different coffee and I absolutely love Jelly Belly's and Peeps.

My favorite colors are pink, pink/black, red, lime green/yellow/purple, denim blue, olive green, no orange but just about anything else really. I love paisley patterns and boho patterns.

I love vintage and retro, especially stuff from 40s/50s/60s kitchen design.

I don't like anything victorian, or lacey.

Scentwise, I like baked goods and sweet scents, especially buttercream, but no lemon or vanilla. I also like lavendar, pomgrante and sweet pea, nothing with rose or jasmine please.

I love cats! (in case you couldn't tell)

anything related to my likes

I know that the following items are on the pricey side and I am not expecting them, but I know that there are times when I've purchased something, tried it, and found out that I don't like it or just end up not using it. So, except for minor use, these items are still perfectly good, just not brand new.

alcohol or dye inks

bookbinding tape or paper

fantastix coloring tools

walnut ink crystals(not liquid)

perfect pearls

would love to try twinkling H2O's

anything from my Amazon wishlist
