Hello Swappers! I am in my late 20's, recently married, full time research assistant and part time grad student. I have a big Italian family. I love New England. I grew up on a farm and still consider myself a farm girl. I love fall and winter. Christmas is my absolute most favorite time of year. I love snow and snow flakes. I am all about nature and getting in touch with the mother earth.

I love crafting. I started while I was planning my wedding two years ago and now I craft almost every day. My taste in crafts is eclectic; I like shiny and glittery and rustic and raw. I like modern twists on traditional themes. Most of what I do is paper crafts or mixed media. I repurpose and/or recycle items into new, fun, useful, and beautiful crafts!

I love to make party decor, center pieces, favors, themed decorations. I just learned how to knit and want to learn to crochet. I make wreaths/door hangers for all seasons and occasions. I make Christmas ornaments for everyone I can around the holidays. I like practical crafts too, especially things that keep me organized while looking great at the same time. Mail holders, menu boards, phone message center, etc.

Since I was a little girl, my favorite color has been lime green, but I am really drawn to dusty/antique rose, and teal/aqua. Jewel tones are lovely.

I am not religious, but my husband is Catholic. We are both very interested in all religions and any religious items are welcome.

I think dogs are the best pets ever.

I have a green thumb. I have a lot of plants, and as far as I can remember, have never killed one. I enjoy gardening (flower and vegetable). I love unique flowers, like columbines.
