About Me

PLEASE RATE ME. I pledge to rate and aim to please you!!! I enjoy finding items in your profile and decorating your package, please be courteous and rate me. Don't leave me hanging.

I’ve been married for 19 years and have 2 teen boys (age 13 and 15) who are my life. I have two kitty cats (Bruce Campbell and Ninja) and a pup (Teddy) who is a pitsky mix.

WORK/EDUCATION: I am a freelance editor and blog and marketing writer. I used to edit/write for a medical coding print magazine. I pulled content together, write, edit, set up cover photo shoots, and create medical illustrations and artwork. I have a bachelor's degree in graphic design. I used to be a web designer and ad designer.

I am business owner of My Garden Gal http://www.mygardengal.com

I studied for a semester in Manchester, England at MMU. It was the best!

CRAFTING: I used to make and sell purses and jewelry. I love adding flowers, beads, and unique buttons to stuff. I really like working with fabric and sewing and making my own clothing creations. ATCs and matchboxes are my new favorite crafts.

I love making rosaries, earrings, and wine charms.

MOVIES: The WIZARD of OZ is the best movie ever! Cheesy horror movies, Army of Darkness, Clint Eastwood, old hot rod movies, Monsters vs. Aliens, Tombstone, Star Wars trilogy, Naked Gun, Napoleon Dynamite, Cabin Boy, Stephen King movies

MUSIC: Bands - Reverend Horton Heat, Kings of Nuthin', Deke Dickerson, Brian Setzer/Stray Cats, Johnny Cash, Straight 8's, The Cure, REM, Ministry, Pixies, Beastie Boys, 80's punk, rockabilly, psychobilly, classical (especially Beethoven), alternative.

TELEVISION: Maine Cabin Masters, Flea Market Flip, Stone House Revival, Celebrity Ghost Stories, Psychic Kids, Paranormal State, Scooby Doo, Ghost Brothers, Knock Knock Ghost, Dead Files, Oddities, My Strange Addictions, My Crazy Obsession, 30 Rock, Grimm, Haven, Pee Wee's Playhouse.

HOBBIES: Seeing live bands play, especially rockabilly/psychobilly shows. I am a concert and show junkie. I love dancing til my feet hurt.

I used to be a paranormal investigator and ghost hunter (mostly a ghost hunter because I didn't have time to go through the recorded evidence). I have stopped because now I'm concentrating on helping the living.

VINTAGE CARS: I attend lots of classic car shows. I own a 53 Ford Crestline Victoria---It's a sweet ride!

Creating art, attending church, and gardening are my therapy. I LOVE getting my hands and feet dirty and enjoying mother nature while gardening.

BELIEFS: I'm a Roman catholic/spiritualist, but I love ALL RELIGIONS. If you want to send me something about your beliefs, no matter what religion, feel free. I've taken world religion and theology classes and I think all religions are tied together and everyone is on their own journey through life. I've seen and heard a lot of UNBELIEVABLE, CRAZY stuff while ghost hunting, which makes me believe there IS an afterlife, and good and evil. We are all in control of making good or harmful decisions. I think it's important to believe in something; otherwise, what's the point in living?

I WILL NOT send you religious or holiday items or quotes unless your profile asks for them or you are in a swap that has that theme.

LOVES: I LOVE detail and really small intricate things. The smaller and more detailed, the better.

50's artwork, cool cats, Hello Kitty, Legos, vintage clothing, Wizard of Oz, wine and cheese, fancy cocktails, gardening, ghosts, cheese

When I made my first ATC and Matchbox, I was hooked!!!

LIKES: Tea, flowers, beads, stickers, art and design.

I ALWAYS READ YOUR PROFILE (maybe 2, or 3, or 4 times, and even for quick send swaps), SO PLEASE FILL IT OUT, I don't want to send you something you don't like. Also, PLEASE RATE ME! Contact me if you don't get a package because I always send one.

WISHLIST

Items from your country/local

Items from the 50's, Pre-1965 hot rod mags/artwork

Vintage jewelry

TEAS: I LOVE all teas. I particularly love caramel flavored teas. I have LPRD (silent reflux) so I can't have lemon and zinger teas as they send my acid reflux into overdrive. I will pass sour or tart teas along to someone else.

Flowers/seeds, Garden gnomes

Wizard of Oz

Wine corks (I like to make things out of them)

Barbie items/accessories, Legos

Elvis, Audry Hepburn, Wonder Woman

Sugar Skulls

50's pin-up artwork and Hollywood glamour

Tiki themed items

Sanrio (especially Kuromi, Chemmy, Badtz Maru, and Chococat)

Kitty cats, pink flamingos

Cool buttons/Unique beads

Hand painted, drawn, or crafted ATCs

Funny/Unique postcards

Roman Catholic religious art/items/relics (rosaries, scapulars, Jesus and Mary figurines, saint relics and metals, etc.)

Ghosts and witches

Paranormal books/articles/stories

Yedi, Bigfoot, Yowie, Sasquatch

Buffalo Bills items. GO BILLS!

FOR MY FAMILY (13 year old): Fortnite, Call of Duty, Batman, Scooby Doo, robotics and science, Star Wars, Buffalo Bills, Nerf guns, the color green, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Braves.

(16 year old): Fortnite, Legos, Call of Duty, Lego Movie, Star Wars, snowboarding, Atlanta Braves, New Orleans Saints, drawing stuff, notebooks, Nerf guns, the color blue.

(husband): Stephen King, Elvis, hot rods, pre-50's Pin-up gals, New Orleans Saints

Dislikes

Scrapbooking; gold (I like silver); I LOVE America but do NOT like Americana-related items;

WORMS!!! Yuck, they give me nightmares.

I don't like ALIENS, UFOs, or GOREY ZOMBIES: I don't like blood and guts. Night of the Living Dead" and "Shaun of the Dead" zombies are funny, but anything else is annoying and gross to me. My husband likes zombies, so if you send a gory zombie, I'm giving it to him.

I don't like when I don't get rated.

Comment: THANKYOU Michelle for a lovely envelope and card. Thanks also for all the cool Irish extras. I’m going out to our weekly trivia night tonight all dressed in green. I’ve got. Ahead-band with a miniature leprechaun style hat, a new green top and some shamrock hair clips and I asked the rest of the team to wear green! I think I might even wear my green Swarovski necklace that I picked up from the shop in Austria about 30 something years ago. Hope your yard party is heaps of fun!

Comment: Thanks for the lovely assortment of Tea. We are sheltering in place due to poor air quality from Ca Wildfires (schools closed) so I am now all set with tea to get me through the next few days. I liked the shiny note card- especially the color. Much appreciated.
Response: Oh no! I hope the air quality is better and that you didn’t have any damage. Thanks for the heart. I’m glad you liked the package.

Thanks for your KCST input! I'll put up two tea party options in a couple of months and see what happens. @Toupti and I have decided to offer a craft once in awhile, as well, because we like them. Even if one other person joins, that's great. I appreciate your feedback. :-)
