I'm a momma of 3 little girls, 5, 3, and 1.

I've been married for almost 10 years, and have an amazing, loving husband.

When I'm not looking after my girls, I'm a sonographer (no, not a typist, but an ultrasound tech). I do enjoy my job and all of the challenges that it presents.

I consider myself to be a dabbler in all things crafty. As you may have guessed from my website, I am now a "tutu maker". I enjoy creating these foofy concoctions and making little ones feel like a princess or ballerina. I also enjoy playing the piano, and all things related to music, especially little piano/musical trinkets.

What else...hmmm...I LOVE sparkly things, fancy things, smelly things, pretty things...perhaps I'm a bit of a magpie. ;P My favorite colours are blue and purple, I love chocolate, raspberries, and cherries. And candy.

Lately, I've been really drawn to the whole "rockabilly" style of clothing - very cool stuff!

I look forward to participating in a swap with you!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE country music!!! Tim McGraw is my boyfriend, and when he's busy, you can find me out on the town with Keith Urban. Sugarland is super cool, as well as Lady Antebellum.

I also enjoy some classic rock - who doesn't love Bon Jovi??

My husband is a huge '80's afficionado - some of which I don't mind, but I leave that to him.

Oh boy. I am an avid reader, particularly of romance novels. Harlequins, historical romance, vampire romance - love 'em all.

But, my two favorite authors are Nora Roberts and Katie McAlister.

Again, a huge lover of things romantic AND funny.

Among my favorites, you'll find "The Cutting Edge", "Hitch", "The Blind Side".

I think my latest favorite is "Glee". I "heart" that show. The music, the drama, the laughs, Sue Sylvester - I love it all. I also really enjoy the original CSI and The Mentalist..and the new show, "Off the Map".

I also enjoy reality tv, particularly "The Bachelor/ette" and Survivor.

As for comedy, I really like "How I Met Your Mother" and "The Big Bang Theory" and have recently started to enjoy the new show, "!#@* my Dad Says"...

Hmmm...I like making tutus, I really enjoy cake decorating, I like attempting to knit and am trying to teach myself how to crochet, I like digital scrapbooking. I would love to learn how to do stained glass.

Lately, I've been browsing thru the Mary Maxim catalouge and have been really tempted to purchase some Artex liquid embroidery paints and patterns...it feels really vintage to me and it's lots of fun. I haven't done this since I was a kid!! Wouldn't it be fun to do some flour sack tea towels?

I've also started dabbling in sewing. Just simple projects, mind you, but lots of fun.

LIKES: -music

Really, I think that I'm easy to please. If you think it's kind of neat and cool, chances are, I will too!

DISLIKES:

-cinnamon

-black licorice

-vanilla scented stuff

-incense

-not a huge fan of skulls, but whatever. =)

• I don't know a lot about kawaii and the whole little collectible japanese bento/amigurimi (sp?) things, so I'm not sure I "dislike" it, but I'm thinking that it's not my most favorite stuff.

• Please, NOTHING satanic. I'm a Christian and follower of Jesus. Thanks. =)

You know, I was having a really good run on not being flaked on, but lately, it's been pretty pathetic and disheartening.

These are the following swaps that I have been flaked on:

Winterland Whismey Jar - @TheLittlePixieTailor

I Can't But THAT Here - @Nyssa

Christmas Candy From Where You Live In The World - @Nyssa ( I know...TWICE!!!!! grrrr)

New Years Resolution - @tanyacox

I haven't never had the priviledge of being angeled, so if someone would like to angel me, I would be soooo very grateful.

Booooooo to all of the flakers. Shame on you!
