I live in Arizona, part of the southwestern United States.

I am a big fan of tea - I drink iced tea daily and enjoy a hot cuppa sometimes as well.

Love mermaids. In fact, my bathroom has paintings of mermaids on the walls. Enjoy reading, cooking, friends, am now a facebook addict (have even met some of my online friends which has been great!) I make lists constantly as well.

Hubby & I are interested in getting advice from anyone who is selling crafts online.

Books: Fiction & craft books! I do read tons of paranormal fiction, mystery, scifi and fantasy.

Music: Rock, country, jazz, big band, pretty much anything but rap. I enjoy many soundtracks of movies as they are so diverse yet well put together.

Movies: Comedy, romantic comedy, action adventure, fantasy, some drama. I like dark comedies. I enjoy introducing people to some of my favorite films like Waking Ned Devine, Pirate Radio, Danny Deckchair, Happy Texas, and more that arent commonly seen here.

TV: Big bang theory, Two & a half men, lots of Discovery channel, Food network, True Blood on HBO.

I enjoy crafting and learning new tricks. I crochet, I am trying to get into sewing, I have tons of craft books on things that I want to do next!

Took an art doll class a couple of years ago and enjoyed it - would like to make more dolls.

I am trying ATCs, joined a local group to learn new techniques. I made my first matchbox shrine, and it seemed to be okay - I made a decorated cigar box and absolutely loved it!

want to learn how to make scrabble tile jewelry & domino jewelry as well.

I am allergic to cigarette smoke - it can trigger my asthma and severe breathing issues. Prefer not to receive anything religious, and trying to stay away from sugar. Disney Little Mermaid is the only mermaid I dont like. I am not a fan of patchouli & cant handle incense.

I love to get treats and surprises. I enjoy trying new things, so getting anything that I cant get at home is always a treat! I am a foodie, I read cookbooks for fun - but I dont buy them anymore as I never use them.

I think everyone has at least one recipe that they know always works - I want those recipes! That treasured one that everyone always raves about? Please share that one with me?

I do love tea, and tea parties. Im not a big fan of chocolate but I LOVE nuts and toffees and brittles and all that stuff that is so tasty but unhealthy. I try to stay away from it, but I do splurge from time to time on something good!

Mermaids. Yes, I am fascinated by mermaids. I live in the desert, and something about mermaids streaming through endless blue and green waters fills me with joy. Not the cutesy cartoon mermaids, but artsy ones.

I do like things that are handmade. I crochet alot, I read all the time, I enjoy being introduced to new things. I appreciate original art. If you have any cds of the True Blood music, I would love a copy!

My wish is that anyone that I make something for receive it with the spirit of the gift, knowing it was made just for them, with thoughts of them and their best wishes at heart.

If you have not received anything from me in a few days after I shipped - please let me know?

I try to think about the person I am sending to, and pick or make things that I believe they will enjoy. Please know that anything sent to you was in the spirit of good wishes and friendship. If you are displeased by my gift, I apologize. If there is something that you wish to repurpose or regift, feel free to do so and know that I wish you well.

Did I mention mermaids? Love the sea colors of blues-turquoises-greens and also like purples. I like the colors of seaglass, aqua & cobalt and frosty whites. I also like jewel tones.

I like the pin-up/bombshell girl images, and I think burlesque is fabulous! I prefer original art to mass produced. Some of my favorite artists are Matisse & Van Gogh. I do like the vintage look of French advertising posters/pictures as well.

Im very interested in altered art. Im not sure I can do it - but I really enjoy looking at it! I enjoy seeing the beauty in something, not the cutesy pretty, but the real beauty.

I love black teas most, and then green tea, followed by all the rest! I enjoy flavored teas as well. My favorites are bergamot & lavender & mint but I love to try new things too!
