About Me

I'm an easy going gal from Texas with a hubby, a baby girl, and 2 very furry husky dogs.

I love the outdoors, especially gardening, trips to the beach, fishing, nature walks, and road trips in general.

Even though my life is pretty busy with family and work I do so love to engage in retail therapy! I'm a self proclaimed 'Bargain Hunter' and tend to frequent thrift, antique, craft, dollar and close-out stores. I love finding little treasures and am a big fan of online auctions (buying and selling). So signing up to be a member of Swap-bot is one of the best things I've found to occupy the rest of what's left of my spare time.

Things I really love

~ Anything handmade

~ Cupcake, Cherry, Ladybug, Panda, Loteria, and Polka dot themed items

~ Anything lavender, pink, lime green, aqua, orange, yellow, red, or black

~ Gummy candy, Jolly Ranchers, Airheads, Chocolate w/peanuts or almonds, Taffy and anything sour/tart flavored

~ Fun kitchen towels and gadgets

~ Notecards, stickers, embellishments, notepads and colorful ink/felt tip pens

~ Madlibs, Coloring, Seek & Find, & Brainteaser books.

~Christmas; Santa, Gingerbread men, Elves, Holly, Poinsettia, and Cardinal (red bird) themed items.

~ Dallas Cowboys football and San Antonio Spurs basketball.

~ Anything fun, quirky or different.

Things I collect

~ Handmade Christmas ornaments, Green depression glass,Little Golden books, and Vintage Handkerchiefs.

Things I'm not very fond of...

I like most things, but I'm not a big fan of incense or anything Vanilla or Eucalyptus scented.

Things I like to make

I like to work with felt, fun fabrics and paper, ribbons, buttons, beads, charms, fabric pens/paint, and ebroidery floss, as I use most of this to make note cards, personalized gift bags, magnets, bookmarks, Dotee dolls, plushies, and christmas ornaments.

I'm trying my hand, again, this season at making some christmas ornaments so I'll be on the lookout for christmas print/themed fabric.

Fave shows, reads & sounds

T.V. Shows: CSI:Vegas, The Office, Ugly Betty, How I Met Your Mother, My Name is Earl, George Lopez, Entourage, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Saturday Night Live.

Reading: Historical fiction, Mystery and Girly themed books. Crafting, How-to, Family/Parenting, and Cooking/Recipe magazines.

Music: Maroon 5, Staind, U2, John Mayer, Michael Buble, 3 Doors Down, Janet Jackson, Nickleback, Mana, Steve Miller Band, Natalie Merchant, the Eagles, the Police, and 80's/90's dance/club music (mostly Depeche Mode, Erasure, NIN, New Order, and Psychedlic Furs).
