About Me

I love Origami and any type of paper folding art. Kusudamas Forever!

I also enjoy creating keepsake boxes out of stained glass and weaving (my loom -48" wide & 8 treadles)

I consider myself to be an envelope making madwoman! I find making envies to be quite relaxing and an almost meditative act- LOL.

Pisces is my astrological sign

I am coulrophobic= I have a fear of clowns (I find them to be extremely creepy and at the same time very annoying. Whenever I see a clown, I feel the conflicting impulses of needing to run from them and wanting to slap the crap out of them.)

I will never send/swap anything in a quality I, myself, wouldn't want to recieve

I never flake If you do not receive from me please PM me first before jumping to any low rating conclusions, and I will do the same for you.

I only mark my swaps sent until after I have physically taken my swap items to the USPS, plus I always send a PM to my recipients to notify them I have sent out my swaps.

I also rate as soon as I receive. I feel that if someone has taken the time and trouble to make and send me something the courteous and considerate thing to do in return is to let the sender know as soon as possible their swap arrived safely.

Favorite Television

The Walking Dead

Pushing Daisies was a great show and I will remain forever ticked off with ABC for cancelling it.

Firefly was another awesome show that needlessly ended too soon. Boo! Fox! Boo!.

Favorite Books

Stiff by Mary Roach- Funny and informative

George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series (Eagerly waiting to find out how this epic fantasy will end- Write! George! Write! Write like the wind!)

Stieg Larrson's Salander/Blomkvist trilogy- Wish I had Lisbeth's mad computer skillzZz

Dublin's Murder Squad crime series by Tana French

Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson

Unsaid by Neil Abramson

The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

The Bird Artist by Howard Norman

Charlotte's Web by E.B. White

To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee

A Ring of Endless Light by Madeleine L'Engle

Watership Down by Richard Adams

Favorite Music

Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beatles, Weezer, Phish, Billie Holiday, Fiona Apple, Bob Marley, Mishka, Nina Simone, Sean Hayes, James Taylor, Joe Cocker, Iron & Wine, Hank Williams, Edith Piaf

Favorite Chocolate

l like all chocolate but I love dark chocolate-The darker the better!

I HATE white chocolate and I'm slightly suspicious of anyone who does like it - If it doesn't have cocoa/cacao powder in it, it's not real chocolate.

Comment: Oh my goodness! What an amazing swap!! First, the envelope was absolutely beautiful! I didn't want to even open it for fear of destroying your artwork. Then the card that you made was so fun. I love all of the layers you made with washi. And then to the fish that you designed... they were so beautiful! I have them hanging up. And then to top it all off the tea was so thoughtful. Thank you so much for such a wonderful swap!!

I really appreciate how you decorated the red envie. It was really fun to receive such a lovely piece of mail on a day that I didn't feel quite so well. I was very startled at first when the butterfly flew out then, got a good laugh. Thanks for the nice card and note. I do hope I can swap with you again. We in TPD will miss you.

Jess79 on Jun 20, 2014:

WOW! Thank you so very much for the wonderful RAK package! What a great selection of washi tapes : ) Also, who told you that I have been on the search for a camera stamp?! The crocodile notepad is adorable and I love the ransom note style letters-THANK YOU very much for your kindness <3
