I'm a mixed-media and textile artist (particularly bead embroidery). I am a scrapbooker, traveler, pastor.

I have a fondness for unique beads, metallic threads, charms, angels, crosses, twinkling H20 paints, tiny canvases, unique fabric, and travel

I have a suite in my home I call my "study-o". One room is the study and houses books, printers, and a closet with extra supplies. The study is decorated in black and white and I'm always finding one more black and white item! The studio is currently being transformed so I can host small classes and it holds canvases, paints, scrapbook papers, etc. I am a collector of nifty "tools' for crafting and art.

My scrapbooks include weddings (as a pastor, I'm blessed to officiate at a number of weddings each year), my godchild, academia (I just finished a doctorate in art and theology), art, textiles, churches, etc.

I prefer: glass beads, richly textured fabric, metallic embroidery floss, letters and inspirational word (ie. create, hope, live) charms, funky bible/religious stuff (I have a Jesus finger puppet for example), textured cardstock/paper (I'm a bazzill fan), sheet music and old music/hymn books, angels, colored wire, shaped brads, crafting tools, crosses, variety of small "isn't that cool?" items for mixed media

I don't have need for: stickers, ribbons (I have a ton!), scrapbook paper (my stash is ginormous!), children/juvenile/disney themed items, plastic or pink items

Bonus if you include: a small fun black and white decorative or partyware item, a small angel ornament, chocolate
