About Me

I'm married to the most wonderful man in the world. We have four fun and creative kids, two boys and two girls. I'm currently in school to become a commercial pilot, while at the same time running my small event planning and organization business. I am a crafting addict. I also love to experiment with food. I learned about a year ago that gluten and I don't get along, so I am a full-time rider on the gluten-free train. I have fallen in love with essential oils and naturopathy/homeopathy. My life is crazy and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Favorite Books

Anything by Karen Hancock, The Cradleland Chronicles by Douglas Hirt, Any Jane Austin novel, Vatta's War series by Elizabeth Moon, Jane Eyre, The Count of Monte Cristo, Les Miserables, Agatha Christy mysteries, YA novels, sci-fi)...there's more, but that would be a lot of typing!:) Totally not into horror or paperback romance.

Favorite Music

A hodge-podge - 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, classical, indie, some rap, 80's country...the list goes on...

Favorite Crafts

Right now, making party kits takes a good chunk of time, but I like to refinish found furniture, decorate spaces, sew, crochet, make cards....and I'm a complete chalkboard art addict.

Favorite Television

I'm a sci-fi fan - Stargate Atlantis, Eureka, Dr. Who, you know the more quirky sci-fi. I also like Monk, Psych. Any period British series on Masterpiece Theater or BBC. Love documentaries...it may be in the obsession category at this point. I am currently LOVING Big Bang Theory, New Girl, Jane the Virgin, Limitless, Telenovela, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Once Upon A Tiime and that's only a portion...

Favorite Movies

Guardians of the Galaxy, Austenland, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, The Martian, pretty much all of the Marvel movies and more

Favorite Colors

I really like black, white, bright yellow, bright red, turquoise, LOVE grays.

Favorite Scents

My favorite scents are lemon, orange, lime, chamomile, rosemary mint. I don't like flowery or fake food smells.

Favorite Flavors

lemon is my absolute favorite, but orange, lime and strawberry are close seconds. I like dark chocolate not milk chocolate, but dark chocolate with coconut and sea salt....yeah. Into organic and all natural stuff...rather hippy-crunchy-granola, if you will. Vanilla is always welcome.... I'm a pretty big foodie... always looking to try something new and different!

Other likes/dislikes

I love surprises! I love to try new things. I love handmade things. I also like store bought things. I don't like lacy or overly frilly things, though I do like feminine looking things. I'm not into hearts or most "girly" type patterns, like floral. I'm really into patterns like polka dots, stripes, plaids, etc.and textures like super soft feeling things. I do like shiny things; I'm a Christmas ornament fanatic! Not into Santa themed stuff. I don't prefer Halloween stuff, but I do like fall themed things. I'm not picky about colors where clothing items are concerned because I like getting stuff I wouldn't normally get myself. It makes it fun. I love vintage things.

Comment: Hi Shelly. I loved your package. You have been really generous. Don't worry about organic tea towels not coming in colours. That's normal. Organic dyes tend to be vegetable based and not colour fast that's why organic stuff tends to be plain. The cotton one you sent is lovely and soft and I love the buttons.
Response: You are absolutely welcome! I'm very glad you like the towel. Perhaps when I've learned to crochet some washrags and towels, I'll be able to get the colors I need in the fabrics I want!:)
