Hi all;

I love a variety of music, love the blues, R&B, soul, bluegrass, jazz, some country and of course good ol' classic rock n roll.

When it comes to reading, I also like a variety of novels ..Cane River, The Kite Runner, Memoirs of a Guisha, Three Cups of Tea, Pillars of the Earth, etc.. If I want a quick read, I will usually grab a Nora Roberts, Danielle Steele , John Grisham , Clive Cussler or something similar.

I love papercrafts of all types. I use handcrafted papers from Thailand and India. I am not into scrapbooking and do not care for patterened scrapbooking paper as I really have no use for it.........but I am into "art" cards, journal books , paper collages,book marks and most recently ATC's. I use all sorts of materials in my work, usually recycled or found materials like old jewellry,, shells, beads. feathers, etc. I check out garage and estate sales and 2nd hand stores for jewellery pieces that I can take apart and re-use. Whever I see an unique looking bead store or craft store, I have to go in, you never know what you might find! I do not go into the chain stores at all, I like to support the smaller businesses and I shop local and/or handmade almost always.

My jewellery style is mostly silver & turquoise, almost all of my jewellery is handcrafted.

I love native art! I love loose teas! I love handmade natural soaps! I love life!

Please do not send me any scented products - I have MCS and I am highly allergic to perfumes, scented products, etc.
