37 year-old English teacher from CA. Mommy, Wife, & Lover of Life... Spend lots of time hiking with my pups, geeking out at the library, sewing, reading, and traveling.

LIKES

I embrace the idea that "cute" doesn't need a reason. Form before function.

I love all things "Holiday," like Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc.

My favorite colors are black, pink, white, brown.

I love nature, including interesting insects!

Sugar skulls, skeletons, Dia de los Muertos

Vintage anything

Aprons

Anything having to do with literature, grammar, books, reading (English teacher 🤓)

Anatomy interests me as well.

Organic/nature friendly items

Horror movies, related-memorabilia, anything macabre/creepy, etc.

Self-proclaimed “Murderino,” love me some true crime

Love mints, sugarfree gum, any flavour tea, lollipops, and cool stickers. Pencils, pens, and paper also excite me

Anything cute and small.

Charlie Brown/Peanuts Gang

Peppermint scent/flavour

Kawaii anything.

Hello Kitty

Qoo

DISLIKES

lotions, body sprays, or other scented things. I am quite picky when it comes to what I slather on my body ;)

Fairies, angels, silk flowers, and "modern art" also have a negative effect on my tummy;)

Black licorice, jelly beans, or sour candy are not for me.

Aside from that, I think the most amazing thing about swaps is that you get a chance to see how someone else interprets things....isn't that the whole point?!

Television, Music, etc.

Not much of a film watcher, however some of my fav. television shows include Supernatural, Martha Stewart, Little House on the Prairie (so cozy), and Criminal Minds.

Music....not a big fan, but have my favs such as Tom Petty, Tori Amos, Billy Joel, and the Beach Boys (I guess I am an "old soul.")

Books- I am an avid reader, love cozy mysteries (Joanne Fluke, Leslie Meir, Laura Levine, etc), horror/thriller, and historical fiction. I've also recently began Debbie Macomber books.

*Have yet to read, but really want to: Sleepy Hollow,Harry Potter 3-5, The Jungle, anything "zombie" related.

YA & Children's Lit are another fav! Love Anne of Green Gables, Little House, Nancy Drew, Marc Brown, Steven Kellog, E.B. White, The Secret Garden, Heidi, Treasure Island, Harry Potter, Hunger Games Trilogy, Judy Blume, Beverly Cleary, Percy Jackson

I fashion myself as a modern-day (female) Howard Hughes...love to travel, try everything at least once, and live a life full of love and free of fear. I live in the heart of suburbia with my hubby and son, but long to be on a farm. Stay-at-home Mama and Wife who wants to experience it all!

I love paper crafting like mini paper-bag albums, cards, bookmarks, notecards, tags, matchboxes, etc. I also crochet--love amigurimi! Love to sew, embroider, draw, and CREATE!

Recently got into ATC's...would love to trade with you :)

Random Facts

I have an affinity for cute socks, lipbalm, tic-tacs, and cute erasers. Cute stationary and interesting ephemera also tickles my fancy.
