I ALWAYS SEND OUT MY SWAPS & LEAVE FEEDBACK SO IF YOU HAVEN'T REC'D EITHER OF YOURS YET, PM ME! I

I love to scrapbook and make cards. I try to craft every day! I am always surfing blogs looking for inspiration. I love ATCs, Smash Books and am just starting to dip my hat into mixed media with canvases, tags etc..

I am a SAHM to Riley (July 4/09) and also work part time at a real estate booking company and I also do medical transcription. I enjoy traveling, country music, movies and have a serious Diet Coke addiction.

I love large images from various companies that I can color with my copics and use for my cards. I enjoy using my Cuttlebug and my cricut to design with. Some of my fave companies are Echo Park, Niki Sivils, Basic Grey, and Bella Blvd. I am a big Tim Holtz fan as well. I am a big fan of the 6x6 paper packs. I also love using ribbon, buttons and bling on my projects. I'm just starting to dabble in mixed media, so I like playing around with gelattos, inks, and the like. I am not a big fan of stickers but I pretty much love any other kinds of embellies... I pretty much scrap with any kind of color so that is never an issue.

Some of the things I like are:

6x6 Patterned papers

bling

vintage button

vintage embellishments

stamped images to color

copics

die cuts for cards

shaped or large brads

old book pages for mixed media use

Christmas embellishments

anything Tim Holtz

For many years I had kept a journal and after finding them again, I realized how much I missed writing. Not anything fancy or novel-esque, but just writing because I felt like it. Sometimes journal entries, sometimes short stories, sometimes just a few lines here and there. I love round robin stories! Passing it around to people, and seeing how a few lines takes a story into a whole different direction than what you could have ever thought possible....

I love fruity teas! No so much the basics like earl grey, chamomile or orange pekoe....I would love to try one of your favorites or something that is from your country! :)
