About Me

If you've sent me something and haven't heard from me, please don't hesitate to ask me about it!


I am happily married with 2 kids. My daughter is 16 and my son is 13.

I enjoy crocheting for charity and homeschooling the kids.

one nice thing

Favorite Crafts

crochet!

paper crafts

watercolor & ink drawing

Favorite Books

fantasy sci-fi, that means the dragons and wizards type more than the outer space type (though I do like some of those too); fictional novels about peoples' (or animals') lives; historical fiction...

I love used books, especially if you've read and recommend them!

Random Stuff I like

  • I like almost all colors but am most drawn to earthy and jewel tones. Some of my favorites include tan, brown, hunter/forest green, moss green, navy blue, maroon, etc.
  • Flavored coffee with cream - decaf
  • unique/funny/pretty coffee cups
  • Walks in the park
  • Garage sales & thrift stores
  • Popcorn, watermelon, ice cream, Mexican food...
  • I usually wear a size L shirt and mostly wear "nice" t-shirts
  • Animals - most any of them, but especially frogs, turtles, elephants, cats, and tropical fish and other ocean animals
  • Bugs
  • Mythical & Legendary creatures - dragons, knights, griffins, monsters, etc. (not so much mermaids and unicorns)
  • Autumn - the colors, pumpkins, gourds, fall leaves, the smell of a cool October or November morning....
  • Yarn, and I mostly use worsted weight acrylic because I crochet for charity and am looking for ease and warmth
  • Used books
  • ATCs & handmade postcards, especially whimsical art and handdrawn/painted art
  • Postcards - anything goes! I like the thought and effort put into handmade postcards. I like funny and unique cards, and I like beautiful ones too. About the only ones I don't really care about (though I know some people go ga-ga for them) are mapcards, I'd much prefer a local scene. Of course, if you send me a mapcard, I'll appreciate it because you sent it. :o) Oh, and I prefer the standard size cards because I'm planning to make a book of my collection.
  • Organization...I don't have much of it...
  • Nice stuff for a bath - my favorite scents include eucalyptus, citrus, mint, spicy/cinnamon, jasmin, and some florals (the only one I really don't like is lavender and that's mostly cause it doesn't seem to like me, kwim?)

I'm Not So Fond Of...

  • Erotica
  • Heavy Goth
  • Rap Music
  • really frilly girlie stuff
  • pastels (except, of course, in certain circumstances)
  • Scorpions!
  • The smell of Cigarette Smoke
  • lavender
  • Stuff that will collect dust
  • I prefer to buy my own cosmetics

Going through past swaps, looking for inspiration and I saw some of ours, so I had to stop by and say hello! Hope you are doing well! hugs

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!

choke on Aug 10, 2013:

Made some changes in my USA Only Storebought PCs group. Hope to see you back around here soon!

SweetClementine on Jul 15, 2013:

Hi, Ellie! Just checking to make sure you received the CPG Spring Flat Envie Scavenger Hunt I mailed to you on May 10. I see you haven't logged into s-b for a bit, so I'm hoping it's arrived and you just haven't got around to rating. Hope all is well!:)
