About Me

Hi, my real name is Yvonne. I live on California's beautiful Central Coast.

I own a small rubber stamp manufacturing firm. We specialize in business stamps, like endorsement stamps, notary/engineering seals, daters, facsimiles, etc...but I also make custom craft stamps (mostly for myself!).

I've been making ATCs for about three years now and I'm totally hooked. I love everything about ATCs! I've even started a local ATC trading group, SLO Co. ATC Traders, and running it takes up the rest of my free time: organizing meetings/exhibits, teaching workshops, etc.

Favorite Movies

I'm a huge movie buff! My favorite's are Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Shawshank Redemption, The Devil's Backbone and Holes.

I really enjoy comedies like Oscar, Scrooged, Ghostbusters, Galaxy Quest, Clueless and Home Alone (wow - am I stuck in the 90's or what?!).

I also like horror comedies like Tremors, The Lost Boys, Eight-Legged Freaks and Shaun of the Dead.

Musicals, mysteries/suspense and adventure films round out the rest of my collection.

I don't really like films that are loud, full of explosions or show lots of T & A.

Favorite Music

I love going to concerts! My favorite band is the Grateful Dead, followed closely by Jack Johnson.

I like classic rock and jam bands.

Favorite Television

Man vs. Food, Forensic Files, How Do I Look, Big Bang Theory, classic Simpsons, Rockford Files, Laverne & Shirley, The Young Ones, etc.

Favorite Books

The Devil in the White City, Thunderstruck, The Killer of Little Shepherds, The Proving Ground, The Adventures of TinTin, etc.

I like non-fiction historical crime thrillers and tales of nautical adventure.

Likes:

Animals - all kinds

The letter "Y"

Clocks/timepieces, keys

Fairies and cottages

ATCs that move

Gilded Age - late 1800's, early 1900's

Women's rights

All shades of brown and gold

Vanilla (scent)

Dislikes:

(I don't mean to offend anyone)

Stickers

Violence/gore

Religious or political themes

Rap or country music

Comment: I love it. Thank you so much. I am so-o-o-o jealous that you have a local group that you can trade face-to-face with. Where I live, although not a complete art wasteland, is not really that kind of town.

Response: Uh oh...his eyes weren't supposed to do that! Hope it wasn't too gruesome - lol! :)
