thirty-something single fabulous creative, intuitive chick. Living in my hometown, Portland, Oregon with my sassy feline roommate, Ellie. I have a love for pastels, art / craft supplies, travel, reading, movies, making stuff, sewing (getting to know my machine) embracing my creative gifts and heritage. I earn my bread and butter (right now) by managing the homegoods department at a locally owned and operated Natural foods grocery store. When I am not doing that, I am an intuitive consultant, budding astrologer, artist, crafter, and wedding / special events planner. And on the back burner, planning my next trip (Bali Spring 2011).

Stuff I like:

fav. colors: purple, pink , green , red

anything striped or polka dot

anything cupcake related

fav movies: Pride & Predjudice (both versions), Bridget Jones Diary, I Heart Huckabees, The Big Lebowski, Charlie's Angels, Love and Other Disasters, Practical Magic, anything by the Cohen Brothers

TV shows I like: So you think you can dance True Blood Tori & Dean Chopped

I entertain a lot in the summer, holding weekly BBQ'S.

I don't eat seafood, and am a concious omnivore who adores bacon- the candy of meats.

I love girly smelly stuff, floral, fruity, coconut.

I am a terrible baker, which is fine since I am low-carb, Gluten free anyways. Thank God for Chocolate.

I am allergic to caffine. So I drink decaf coffee and teas.

I like to read biographies, cheesy romance novels, self- help, astrology, fiction and non-fiction, no mysteries or thrillers. Anything by Jane Austen.

I collect rocks and crystals.

i love stationary and related items. Fun papers, pens, etc.

I do craft and am open to anything that inspires.

I love cross stich / embroidery.

I know how to knit a scarf, but not much more than that.

My two major goals in life right now are: to work for myself using my creative and intuive gifts

to see the world. So far I have been to Egypt, Mexico, Canada, and a lot of the US. Plans for Bali are in the works for next spring. I have a very long list....

I have a great sense of humor which veers towards the cheeky side.

Oldest sibling and only sister of two brothers.

I love fun accessories, note cards, magazines related to life, style, cooking, health and fitness, crafting/making stuff.

I love going to thrift stores and finding vintage linens, art, and housewares. I also love refinishing furniture. I am a child of the 80's and 90's and love finding stuff from that time.

New to swapping and very excited!
