I am a chiropractic physician in Portland, OR, specializing in treating women and children. I am very interested in health and wellness, as well as an dedicated exerciser. I am part of a competitive women's dragonboating team that practices year round and races thoughout the Western US and Canada. My team is the only US team scheduled to race in the ICF World Club Crew Championships in Ulsan, South Korea July 11 - 13, 2009 and I am very excited! I have been married for almost 6 years to an amazing man and we have 2 dogs and a cat that help make our house a home.

I enjoy crafts of all kinds, but especially enjoy paper crafts and paper related items. That can include stationary, bookmarks, pens, journals, organizers, paperclips, etc - anything that has to do with paper or is made from paper. If you have ideas for new paper crafts that you'd like to include in your swap, I would be excited to see them!

I am an avid reader and enjoy just about anything (except perhaps true crime or romance). I am currently on a non-fiction kick and feel as though learning never stops. Some of my favorite authors are Stephen King (own pretty much his entire collection) and Terry Pratchett.

One of my nicknames is Movie Mama. I love movies and frequently go to see them in the theater as well as watch them at home. Some of my favorites include Amelie, Fight Club, Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2, Love Actually, the Lord of the Rings Triology, most of the Harry Potters, PS I Love You and too many others to list. You name it, if it's relatively recent, I've probably seen it.

Here are some other favorites ideas to help you - orange, baking, cute dog toys (small dog, non-toxic if possible), black and white photography, Ansel Adams, fountain pens
