About Me

Likes: any packages that are thoughtfully put together! I love things that are from your region. I love to learn about places and postcards or even the touristy bits of info are always fun.

I love crafty things that feed my hobbies: crocheting, making (beaded) jewelry, bookbinding. I do prefer natural fibers and nature-influenced materials.

Learning about YOUR hobbies is fun too!

foods: I'm a strong coffee or herbal tea drinker. DARK chocolate - 70% or darker! I'm married to a Brit and he always enjoys european sweeties. I love to experiment with food & spices.

Please don't send candies with colorings like Red #40 or E124 as my husband is allergic!

Favorite color(s): anything really, though if I wear it it's probably in reds, black, or blues :)

makeup: not really, unless it's lipgloss.

animals: we have two cats who are playful souls

art: love handmade stuff for my walls & workspace

finally: I prefer not to receive scented things unless they are natural scents (ie actual lavender, cinnamon, etc). I don't wear earrings very much, and I'm sensitive to eye makeup.

Thanks for taking the time to look through my photos and learn more about me :)

Favorite Music

indie, pop, rock, r&b, jazz, world, old, new, classical... I especially look forward to hearing music from other countries and learning about new artists.

I just can't get my head around really heavy metal music, the tamer stuff is ok :)

Favorite Books

I love books of all sorts! I don't read much biographies but would love suggestions on ones you enjoy.

I read lots of fiction, historical fiction, fantasy of the Garcia Marquez variety. I have read some of the more popular/well known sci-fi and fantasy - would love suggestions on lesser known authors!

I have loads and loads of craft books about many things: gardening, crochet, knitting, jewelry making, stained glass, book binding.

Favorite Crafts

I love to crochet, make beaded jewelry, bookbinding, photography (oh! old film/cameras are a fun swap for me!), gardening, cooking,

I've tried: lampworking, metalsmithing, stained glass,

and now... I'm trying to learn to knit!

Comment: Sima...Thank you so much for the beautiful postcard. I am so happy that I found out who sent it. It is one of the prettiest cards I have received. I am so sorry that I had stuck it to the side to figure out who it was from and where it went to, that I forgot it. Please forgive me for being so scatter brained. Have a great week. Sondra

Comment: Incredible package!!loved everything!! I am smiling a big one chewing w/ a just brushed feeling, I tried the Twistables Slickers--are they ever cool--I almost bought them the other day in the Grocery store--I am a freak for St Patty's and loved the shamrock--I know where I am putting it and the shamrock gems (i've used 2 packs of those , I had bought one for me and one to use and then used them both and the store didnt have any more--you must be psychic!! or a leprauchan told you!) What can I say about PEZ except HOOOOOORAY!!!!! and I am wearing the tulip pin and the absolutely beautiful necklace!!! What a fabulous month MArch is--I'll always remember this one for sure. Thank you so much! jam
