Stephyni

Hello everybody!

So I spose you all want to know a little about me so you know what to send me:D This is just the coolest idea ever:D

My mom introduced me to this site...eschiwal is her username on here:) HI MOM!

First of i am extremely girly, love it all...all things from Japan, anything relating to make up and nail polish you name it I probably like it.

I will ALWAYS rate always!! I think it is silly when someone wont rate you after you put in all the work to make them something you know? So if you have sent me something and I havent rated send me a message:) Also same goes for sending I will always send my swaps so if something happens and you haven't received it let me know and I will resend:)

I am not into gory things....and I am extremely arachnaphobic (there is a note on the spider thing and Halloween further down in holiday section.

I LOVE music. Though I like people who sing not scream and I also do not usually like rap.

I really like Paramore ( I liked them before they did the song for twilight so don't judge;))

Also Holly Brook is another favorite( if you haven't heard of her I strongly recommend looking her up)

I will pretty much try anything out...so have any recommendations send then my way:)

Also I do enjoy the standard girl music, Lady Gaga, and unfortunately I have been liking Kesha, I can't help it...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE to read. Overflowing bookshelves are everywhere in the apt between myself and my mom.

I read everything except extreme horror stuff, I freak myself out.

I am obsessed with all thing Harry Potter. I need to go to Orlando...snail mail postmarked from Hogwarts...heck yea! If you want to send me anything HP related that would be awesome,I am a Hufflepuff so its all about the black and gold:)

My favorite trilogy is the Dark Material Books by Pullman( if you have only seen the movie read the books they are AMAZING)

I do also like the more classic books among which are Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, and TO Kill a Mockingbird.

I did not enjoy the Grapes of Wrath and I pretty much hated the Good Earth.

Again nothing scary for me here either.I do watch them but then my imagination runs away with me which as I have a very good imagination can be a not so good thing;)

Other than that I will watch pretty much anything. I work in an art house cinema so I get to see alot of Independent and Foreign films.

My favorite actress is Drew Barrymore. I think her movies are fun, and girly, and I just think she would be fun to hang out with you know?

But my go to movies are Studio Ghibli. I would give my pinky toe to be a voice for one of his characters. Whisper of the Heart is my favorite though I do not own it( it is really hard to find in stores) Close behind are Howl's Moving Castle and Ponyo ( which almost beats out whisper of the heart)

Okay onto crafty things:)

I love to scrapbook. I do all my stuff by hand no cricket shortcuts here ( I am not judging if you use cricket I'm just crazy jealous, it does the coolest things) So if you want to swap some layouts let me know.

I do sew, I made my first quilt with grandma's help when I was 8 and sew on and off since then. I go through spurts with sewing sometimes I really want to sew other times not so much.

I do draw, though my forte in the arena is plants...especially flowers. BUT I love LOVE LOVE to color, pretty much anything, but I am a crayons and prisma color color pencils girl. I don't really like markers. Though I haven't tried copic markers yet.

I also knit though I am fairly new to the knitting world. I have mastered scarves and I am onto knitting a messenger bag and a sweater but they are coming along a little slowly.

I also do some beading:) More for fun than anything...make myself alot of rings for next day or whenever I feel the need to work with seed beads.

okay things I LOVE...

I should mention the boyfriend here I think;) His name is Josh. He is your typical geek/nerd. He does voice acting and works and goes to school so he is super busy. He has a love of oreo cakesters and me;) He also loves anything Aladdin and adult swim or comic book related. He has been enjoying my swaps to so if you run out of ideas for me you can always send him a little something:) I am sure he would love it!

My cat Neville (note the harry potter themed name...I knew Neville was going to end up being an awesome character) He is kind of special as he has kitty seizures so we have to make sure he doesn't hurt himself:( But I love him a ton! ) ****UPDATE*** Neville is no longer with us. He ran away about 4 months ago and hasn't come home. So I think he has moved on to a better place. Mom and I adopted a new kitten about a month ago. Her name is Luna ( again a Harry Potter name but was actually unintentional). She is a trash compactor and will eat any and all foods. Also LOVES yarn balls so is addicted lol.

all things from Japan...art, clothes, movies, music...you name it and I have probably seen it or know of it:)

Nail Polish. I am addicted....I have I think 20 blogs that I follow and check as soon as they update. I just think its fun and changeable and relaxing. So I will always be up for a swap that has to do with nail polish or nail art supplies( rhinestones, stickers etc)

strawberries. I will pretty much love it if it has strawberries on it.

I also collect the Disney trading pins. I love all things Disney( esp now that they have the studio Ghibli movies) But I LOVE The little mermaid, enchanted, and Beauty and the Beast. Pretty much can't go wrong with classic Disney:)

Most people on here have things that they like to receive and what they wouldn't like to receive. I dunno if I have had enough swaps to put that up yet. But just an fyi I don't do spicy things. I haven't joined anything that would need to know that but I think that is pretty much the only thing i really dislike. Oh and spiders I am EXTREMELY arachnophobic. So please nothing with spiders:)

If you missed the update up top I am in extreme diet mode for my brothers wedding so no sweets for me unless they are sent for the boyfriend. Then he says thank you:)

I love LOVE Halloween. I know I am arachnophobic but if it is for halloween then I usually suck it up.Unless they are very life like then i may have a panic attack:) I love the costumes and the fun and spooky kinda vibe of Halloween. Tim Burton probably has a lot to do with my love of Halloween. I watch the Nightmare before Christmas October through to Christmas:)

I also love the obscure kind of holidays like May Day and Talk like a Pirate day( Sept 19th) So if you know of some cool ones or some from other countries I think that is really interesting. especially Japan all the festivals LOVE!!!
