I love reading, playing board games, making arts and crafts, watching films that make me think, and challenging my mind with puzzles (crosswords, sudoku, etc).

Someday I hope to write and illustrate a children's book. I love wearing dresses and wish to make my own vintage dresses (however, I don't own a sewing machine, nor do I know how to use one). I want to restore an old house, ride in a hot air balloon, and open up my own boutique.

I recently traveled to Spain with my art class -- best experience ever! Now I'm itching to travel again and I am even more inspired by Spanish artists and art. I love Spanish architecture, the bright colors associated with the culture, and the dresses, scarves and jewelry I bought there.

Guster, Dispatch, Regina Spektor, Coldplay, Jack Johnson, David Gray, Frank Sinatra, Modest Mouse, Sigur Ros, Barenaked Ladies, the Carpenters, Corinne Bailey Rae, KT Tunstall, and anything that will bring back a memory.

The Kite Runner, A Walk Across America, Redeeming Love, Bloomibility, The Lovely Bones, Slaughterhouse-Five, Gone with the Wind, any historical fiction, Nancy Drew, the Janet Evanovich series... and many more.

Good Will Hunting, Donnie Darko, The Sound of Music, The Departed, Gone with the Wind, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Disney movies, Cast Away, You've Got Mail, Brick, Garden State, Alfred Hitchcock movies (especially Rear Window), and many more.

I don't watch TV often but if I do turn it on... it's to watch: Seinfeld, The Office, the Travel Channel, Food Network, home decorating shows, the news, or sports (golf, football, baseball, or basketball).

Homemade magnets, decoupage bottles, watercolor, pen and ink drawings.

Sage green, brown, pink. Also, black and white together. Anything vintage. You know what -- I like almost all color combinations. Orange, light blue, brown. Red, yellow and purple.

Not a wishlist, just a list for you to get to know me a little bit more:

glass bottles or jars ... buttons ... vintage jewelry ... unique mugs ... artsy things ... old keys ... recipes/cookbooks ... postcards of places or art ... beads ... picture books
