About Me

I am married to a wonderful guy and I have three sons and a daughter. Three of my children are grown and out on their own. I still have a sixteen year old son at home. I have my own hair salon. I find my sanity outlet to be with my art. There is no better way for me to escape from the everyday problems than to dive into a project and create and breathe new life into something that has been discarded. I always like to try new things, at least as far as my artwork is concerned. I have dabbeled in everythng from floral arranging to jewelry which has now expanded into altered art. I also like to surf the internet to see what creative ideas others come up with.

.

My Favorite Things

I love collecting vintage ephemera and doo dads to use in my art. I especially like old clock gears or pocket watches and rusty old objects that are being cast aside. I also adore old pictures of children. Vintage tatting and laces along with old handkerchiefs are other favorites of mine to collect. I love all types of charms, the more unique the better. I love working with textured papers and backgrounds, plus clear designed overlays. I also enjoy distessing items to give the appearance of "old".Some of my favorite colors are earth tones, brown, tan, rust, maroon, I also love kaki green and olive green, periwinkle blue, and mauve. Steampunk, fairy's and mermaids and Mona Lisa are also favorite themes for me to work with.

Favorite Music

I like to listen to all sort of music. From classical to rock & roll. I also like to listen to indian flute music when I am being creative

Favorite Movies

My favorite all time movie is "Titanic". I love both the original and the remake.

Favorite Television

My favorite show is American Idol, I also like Dancing with the Stars. Some other shows I enjoy are... Grey's Anatomy, Trauma, Life in the ER, Code Blue, Cops, Americas Most Wanted, Bachelor, Plus I like to watch reality courtroom shows.

Favorite Crafts

I enjoy all sorts of arts and crafts. Some of which include, Steampunk Art, Clock making, jewelry making, beading, wire wrapping. I have made my own millifiori glass and fimo beads. Sculpting fairies, Paper crafting... greeting cards, ATC's. I love to do all sort of papercrafting techniques. Decoupage, Pergamao, Spirelli, Tea Bag Folding, Iris Folding, Mandella, plus others. I love to make journals and altered books. I also like to felt. I know I am forgetting many more areas, but those are just to name a few.

Things I would love to get

Old broken clocks and watches Rusty objects, hardware, nuts & bolts, rusty old chain

love sparkly stuff (rhinestones, crystals, glittery things)

Dislikes

Anything stinky or smokey. Items that are just thrown together. I spend a lot of time on my swaps, I just want others to put some time and thought into theirs. Ritualistic stuff, I am not into the dark side at all.

Comment: Oh my, oh my! What an amazing package - I could hardly bear to move anything in the china cup - but just had to see what was hidden underneath the laces - one of your beautiful china pendants and that sweet little snowman. I love it all and will put it on my bedside table for a while to admire each day. And can you believe it arrived in only 6 days.
Response: Oh I am so happy that you liked the swap. I tried to include the things that you mentioned in your profile that you like. I love to make people happy, YAY!

All of the tins filled with distress powders blew me away. The way everything was wrapped was really amazing and the button was a grabbie from a giant. XO

I am so curious now to see what the small graveyard with the iron fence will look like without all the vegetation, once it has dried up in the autumn....! Thanks so very much..I loved everything!! An awesome swap, to be sure! --Your swap pal, Sandi--
Response: Hi Sandi, I will try to remember to send you a pic of the graveyard once it is more barren. I am so happy you enjoyed the pictures. Thanks for the heart :D

jfreeman on Mar 9, 2010:

O.K. one other question. What "glue" do you use to make all the clocks parts "stick" together?

jfreeman on Mar 9, 2010:

OMG!!!! I just went to your Flickr site again and saw the incredible CLOCKS.........WOW!!!! Where do you get all the clock parts? I have a ton of watch parts (after collecting and buying them all summer at garage sales and junk stores) but I've never seen Clock parts. I've got to know where you get them. Jan
