I'm 30 years old, married and a mom of 3 (twin 1 year old girls and a 3 year old boy). In my infrequent free time, I knit, crochet and do a teeny bit of scrap booking. I like coffee, chocolate, good rum and decent wool, not necessarily together or in that order. Currently, my favorite color is yellow.

I am running a (badly-spelled) group here on swap-bot to get people acquainted with ATC's in a non-scary environment. Go check it out.

I also just got into putting together bento-style lunches for the family, both to make lunchtime easier on Daddy (who is with the kids while I work in the daytime) and to get us to eat healthier - I want to expose the kids to a wide variety of foods before they get too picky.

I love most music, but I am especially fond of Irish and Scottish folk music, Industrial, and punk.

My favorite authors include:

• Terry Pratchett (Discworld Series and other books)
• Neil Gaiman
• Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan comic book series)
• I still love my Little House on the Prairie books and enjoy reading them to my kids
• Clive Barker (especially Imagica) though I won't finish reading The Hellbound Heart
• I have a soft spot for Christopher Pike (teen horror novels) though they're just funny now that I'm all grown up

I love lots of movies, but these are the ones immediately coming to mind:

• V for Vendetta
• Neverwas (OK, I'm a sucker for anything with Ian McKellan)
• Iron Man (it was unexpectedly good)
• Purple Rain
• Documentaries
• Monsters, Inc.
• Up
• Wall-E (really, who didn't like this movie)
• Breakfast Club
• The Goonies
• 10 Things I Hate About You (really, it wasn't that bad)

• yellow
• sunny prints or patterns
• paisley prints
• ribbons
• interesting buttons
• yarn
• art and ATC's from all over - i love to see other people's work
• postcards
• recycled and upcycled items ... I'm always looking to give old stuff new life
• bento lunches, recipes, supplies (especially kid-friendly ideas and supplies)
• cinnamon (candies and real)

• people who judge the art they receive harshly. Come on people, these are swaps, not juried art shows. Stop sucking all the fun out of it.
• Twilight (though I did think the movie was kinda cute - just sick of the girlie squeeing about it all over the place)
• licorice
• insincerity
• pale watery florals. they remind me of the doctor's office.
