About Me

NOTICE: I will be taking a break for awhile due to health problems. Hopefully I will be back after the holidays. Thanks.

Hi, my name is Melissa and I live just southeast of Seattle in a burb called Renton. I have a pair of Hemingway cats, Larry and Curly, polydactyl. Larry the lovebug sweetie has 7 toes per front foot and Curly the feral-like one has 8 toes per front foot. It can be lethal just playing with them. They are a constant source of entertainment and fun. I am currently an under-employed graphic designer and a part-time Chief Test administrator for college students that want to going to the teaching programs at universities in the State of Washington and then the endorsement test when they exit and try to get hired in here also. In the past I have managed restuarants, bars and have been a waitress and bartender many times over. I am very much into computers and the internet. I also enjoy beadwork, wirework and jewelry design.

I Pledge to Rate

Favorite Crafts

I totally enjoy Beadwork, Wirework, Jewelry Design, Paper Craft but have dabbled in many others such as watercolor, oil painting, silk-screen, many forms of printing, sewing. I just like working with my hands.

I am have been dabbling in Zentangle/Line Weaving for awhile now. My BFF has introduced me to the wonderful world of Tim Holtz so that will be an interesting adventure to explore.

Favorite Music

I have an eclectic love of music. Anything from classic rock, blues, bluegrass, much of the current music even a little rap. Some of my all time favorites have been Pink Floyd, ZZ Tops, Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniels, Grateful Dead and the list just goes on and on.

Fav Color

My absolute favorite color is PURPLE. But I enjoy creating with many jewel-like colors. Some of my best and most exciting pieces is when someone gives me an unfamiliar palette to work with on a project. Oh, forget it I LIKE All COLORS some just better than others!

Favorite Saying

I love my puter, all my friends live in it!

Comment: Melissa--the cards are beautiful---so well planned and color coordinated so nicely. I love the flowers--look like pansies. Are they from a die-cut? If so, could you let me know which one? Or from Cricut--from which cartridge? Also, are the leaves a die cut? I have a friend who makes only cards; I showed her the waxed paper resist technique and she was wondering how to use it on cards, so I will definitely show her how you did it! Enjoy the week-end when it gets here!

Comment: Oh wow you touched my heart today with the pansy/wax paper resist card..... a good friend's mom passed away this morning and so I was thinking of my own mamma's passing and her FAVORITE flower was the pansy....said their little cat faces always make her smile.....so I see this not as just a gift from you but her too..... thank you so much and Happy Swapping.... I love the technique and the P A N S Y !!!!!
Response: I am so thrilled that this ATC meant so much to you. Pansies are one of my mother's favorite flowers also so it means a lot to me also. Give your friend a lot of hugs during this difficult time. I will keep you both in my thoughts also.

Comment: Thanks you for the gorgeous artworks! They were definitely worth the wait. Love the "odd" color palette for this set. The peacock feather is really different. And I, of course, love the riot of flowers and the sweet winter birdie. Thanks also for all of the gorgeous global postage stamps! <3<3<3

I updated the rules in The Bargain Boutique and asked that everyone read and sign them. Unfortunately I don't see your name so I had to remove you. If you'd like to rejoin please let me know. Thanks!
