I love The Princess Bride as one of those movies I can watch anytime and repeatedly.

Dogma

A Christmas Story

I Heart Huckabees

Little Miss Sunshine

The Nightmare Before Christmas (I love Tim Burton)

Currently - we are watching a lot of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - my son loves this movie!

Lost is the only show I watch right now - I have given up the rest of TV, but I am still watching Lost (well when it starts up again in January)

Sewing, Repurposing/Recycling things I have, jewelry, scrapbooking and some papercrafts

I love retro/vintage prints in loud and vibrant colors. I love 70s style prints, as well as Batiks and current geometric prints.

My favorite color is purple;

I love spending time with my 2 year old son and exploring the world together.

I practice attachment parenting including term breastfeeding (aka extended breastfeeding), co-sleeping, babywearing, etc.

I believe in living a very eco-friendly sustainable lifestyle - I try to reduce/reuse/repurpose and recycle anything that I have so please do not be offended if you get reused packaging material including envelopes.

I am fairly creative and like to be inspired by other people as well.

I am a vegan for ethical, health and environmental reasons - I do not eat any animals or their products (like eggs or dairy) and I also do not wear any animal products like wool, leather, silk, or suede.

Also, due to a gluten intolerance, we eat no wheat, barley, rye (or anything with derivatives from those things.)

I make my own bath and beauty products like lotions, deodorant, scrubs, facial toner, etc. I even started making my own tooth powder so I do not visit the health and beauty aisles at stores anymore.

I enjoy fruit and herbal teas, and avoid caffeinated teas. I don't like licorice/anise flavors, but am willing to try them in a blend.

I might be a grown up, but I still love stuffed animals. I also love dragons and have since I can remember.

My favorite food treat is different kinds of dates. I am pretty hard to find food for because we eat a whole food, fresh food diet - no packaged items and only plant based foods. We have given up sugar in our house an have all improved our health tremendously since this change.

I love pens! All kinds of pens and especially purple ink - the finer the point the better.

I like yard gnomes - the more unique the better.

I like the macabre - Anne Rice Vampire stuff, Nightmare Before Christmas, Dragons, witches & wizadry stories, fantasy, etc.

I love PJs - XL so they are comfy and roomy

Animal Hair/Fur. Items from a smoking household -- everyone in my household is highly sensitive to cigarette smoke.

Please nothing with:

leather or suede

religious icons

cowboys

fishing

commercialism (like Disney, Spongebob, etc.)

Not to be picky, but other things that would not really be worth sending to me:

Bath and Beauty products (I make my own)

Food, Candy, Gum, etc

Aug 2 Due to school, an just life in general, I am behind in ratings - if you sent me a swap and are waiting for a rating, please be patient with me. I hope to catch up this week. Thank you!
