For the basics I am a newly 40, married, dog mom & marketing professional. I have lived in Michigan for about 17 years but grew up outside of Toronto where a lot of my family still lives.

Likes:

• Stickers - Stickii or Pips are perfect! (I'd prefer nothing to glittery, planner or reward stickers for kids). I also love older stickers like Lisa Frank, Suzy Zoo, old cartoons, etc.!

• Christmas (my favorite holiday!)

• Fall (my favorite season)

• Dogs (I have two rescues, a 1.5 year old & an 10 year old both retriever mixes)

• Wine

• Travel (Pre-COVID I traveled a lot for work but have been pretty grounded for the past couple of years. Favorite places: Paris, London, NYC & Montreal, Napa & Sonoma)

• Reading (a lot of mindless Chick Lit to unwind but also like historical fiction, biography & mystery)

• Peloton (I hope to pick this one up more in 2022)

• Walking (Lots of great trails around my house!)

• Chocolate (Any & All)

• Coffee Addict

• Gummy Bears

• Harry Potter (Gryffindor)

• Kawaii

• Vintage Items (produced to look vintage or the real thing!). The marketer in me really likes vintage ads!

• Any & All Stationary Supplies (I love Archer & Olive, Emma & Kate, Cloth & Paper and Simply Gilded)

• My favorite color is Blue (Specifically Navy) - I love all things nautical!

• Pens (I love a good pen!)

• Fun Playing Cards (Really love travel themed & airline cards!)

• Postcards (Any of the above mentioned themes + Disney/Pixar, Fun Shapes, Maps, etc.)

• Not sure if washi collecting is considered a craft but if it is - it's my favorite! I have a serious hoarder problem with washi & buy it all the time!

• I love learning new things including new ways to create paper pockets or envelopes

• Scrapbooking

• Card-Making

• Stamping

• I am trying to get into Junk Journaling so any tips, tricks or items I can use with that is great!
