wishcake

I'm just your average girl.

Twenty-four. Madly in love. Busy with 40-hour workweeks. Very happily married as of February 25, 2006. Self proclaimed homebody, crafter, photographer, romantic and should-be world traveler. Obsessed with blogging, finding the perfect song, drinking more wine than necessary, beach days and chocolate in any form. Collector of quotes, crafty embellishments of every kind, greeting cards/stationary, blank notebooks, photos and love mementos. Has recently discovered an affinity for iced chai lattes, etsy, the color teal and anything remotely crafty.

Cleaning, organizing and decorating make me giddy. I seem to channel Monica Gellar more than I would choose to, but what is a girl to do?

Happily living with my hubby (greatest man ever, in case you were wondering) in a small duplex that I adore.

Loves to see things at more than face value.

I adore:

envelopes (esp. handmade/decorated)
vintage papers (esp. old book pages or photographs)
stationary of any kind
the colors teal, green and eggplant (is eggplant a color?)
Martha Stewart's craft line from Michaels (squee!)
cute magnets
cute buttons and pins
zines (am currently plotting my own zine project...)
Sanrio's Tenorikuma & Deery-Lou
scrapbooking goodies of any kind
vellum quotes
vintage patterns
green tea
chocolate
Starbucks/Coffee Bean goodness
mix cd's
black & white photography
random notebooks
quotes
journaling & blogging
simple rubber stamps (vintage images, single words, letters, quotes, etc.)
Sharpies

not a fan of:

anime (generally, with the exception of Kawaii/Sanrio)
v. heavy metal music
"punk" accessories
glitter
anything really 80's
bad grammar (perhaps I should say "tacky" grammar?)
brightly colored makeup
black coffee
smoking
horror movies
anything goth
anything pagan-themed
super-sour sweets

I'm v. much into folksy-indie-rock at the present moment. I enjoy a bit of everything, depending on my mood, though. (Anything but screaming music, to be completely honest.) I still adore anything from the 90's. Otherwise, here are some current favorites:

Joshua Radin, The Weepies, Carey Brothers, Kate Nash, Schuyler Fisk, Jack's Mannequin, Iron & Wine, Adele, Mae, Dear and the Headlights, Ben Harper

Garden State and a million others.

30 Rock, Friends, Scrubs, SNL, Best Week Ever, The Soup, cheesy Vh1 reality shows (at least I admit my guilty pleasure, right?), pretty much anything on Discovery Health Channel.

things I create:

felt pockets/wallets, other felt goodies, handmade notebooks, cards & stationary, handmade marble magnets, felt magnets, photography, collages, scrapbooks, swap cards, knitting (although rarely, these days), handmade envelopes, other random paper crafts, ATC's (finally decided to try it out!)
