I ALWAYS SEND OUT MY SWAPS & LEAVE FEEDBACK SO IF YOU HAVEN'T REC'D EITHER OF YOURS YET, PM ME! I

I love to scrapbook and make cards. I try to craft every day! I am always surfing blogs looking for inspiration. I love ATCs, Smash Books and am just starting to dip my hat into mixed media with canvases, tags etc.. I make a lot of cards and I'm really trying to get back into scrapbooking so that I can use up my supplies!

I work full time and part time and I also home school my son, so I keep pretty busy. Crafting relaxes me. I enjoy traveling, country music, movies and have a serious Diet Coke and flavored M&M addiction.

I love large images from various companies that I can color with my copics and use for my cards. I enjoy using my Cuttlebug and my cricut to design with. Some of my fave companies are Echo Park, Doodlebug, PhotoPlay Paper, and Bella Blvd. I am a big fan of the 6x6 paper packs. I also love using diecuts, washi and stamped images on my cards. I'm just starting to dabble in mixed media, so I like playing around with gelattos, sprays, inks, and the like. I use anything in terms of embellishments although I am not a big fan of glitter. I don't mind stickers if they are from the larger scrapbooking lines but not so much like Sandylion or $$ store ones.
I pretty much scrap with any kind of color so that is never an issue.

Some of the things I like are:

6x6 Patterned papers

bling

vintage button

vintage embellishments

stamped images to color

copics

die cuts for cards

shaped or large brads

old book pages for mixed media use

Christmas embellishments

anything Tim Holtz

embossing folders (or embossed pieces of cardstock for cardmaking)

Sequins

ATC images

Non craft related:

chocolate (except liquor filled) my favorite is Quality Street

I'm a very big Jane Austen fan!

anything Green Arrow or Supernatural

fruity teas

flavored hot chocolate

Bookmarks

Flavored M&Ms

For many years I had kept a journal and after finding them again, I realized how much I missed writing. Not anything fancy or novel-esque, but just writing because I felt like it. Sometimes journal entries, sometimes short stories, sometimes just a few lines here and there. I love round robin stories! Passing it around to people, and seeing how a few lines takes a story into a whole different direction than what you could have ever thought possible....

I love fruity teas! No so much the basics like earl grey, chamomile or orange pekoe....I would love to try one of your favorites or something that is from your country! :)

I love romance novels and my favorite authors are Julia Quinn, Ella Quinn, Jude Deveraux, Catherine Coulter, Sophia Nash. Sherrilyn Kenyon, Riley Edwards, Elle James, Susan Stoker, Caitlyn O'Leary.

I also enjoy Nora Roberts trilogies, Sherrilyn Kenyon, JR Ward.

I am a really huge movie fan and I am partial to romcoms and 80s movies. I also love SciFi. The only thing I don't really watch are horror/slasher.
