About Me

Hey all, I live in Falls Church, Virginia - I love card and ATC swaps. I love making paper bag books and trying new stuff. My pupster Jake always approves my swaps before they leave the house so you guys are in good hands!

I'm currently an HR Business Consutlant at the American Red Cross National Headquarters in Washington DC - 1 block from the White House. My job requires me to travel quite a bit, but even when I'm separated from my supplies - I promise not to flake on my swaps!

I also hang out at Angela's Happy Stamper in Reston, Virginia for fun and as a "volunteer employee". I think supporting your LOCAL craft stores is critical - if we don't they won't be around.

Favorite Movies

The Godfather I & II (trying to forget III was even made), Dodgeball (darned funny), All the President's Men, The Wizard of Oz (except the flying monkey parts), Repo Man (the old one not the new Repo Men one), My Favorite Year, many art and foreign films, almost all Steven Soderbergh films ...

Favorite Television

Big Bang Theory, Amazing Race, CBS Sunday Morning, Parenthood, NCIS (ahhh Mark "Charmin" Harmin), The Late Show w/Craig Ferguson, Project Runay, The Middle . . . I could go on!

Favorite Crafts

Papercrafting of all sorts -- card maker and ATC's . Love altered arts and gluing stuff to other stuff and making it new stuff. I've learned to LOOM KNIT and it's a blast so now I'm learning to knit with needles - slow going but worth it.

Just stuff ...

I'm a big fan of baseball. I have season tickets to the Washington Nationals and watch baseball on TV too. I'll go to a minor league game any chance I get. I just love the sport a LOT!

I'm a papercrafter mostly. I love making cards, bookmarks, some journals/books, altering stuff, etc. I love taking classes and learning new techniques. I love the "Tim Holz" style of vintage stuff but also love the "Memory Box" style of simplicity so I do it all.

LIKES:
--I collect ephemera of all kinds (travel tickets, old documents, funky bottle tops, etc.). -- Other people's family pictures (I get 'em at flea markets and call them my Yard Sale Family and use them in my creations). --Elvis pix for artwork. --Brads for paper crafting (all colors) --Ribbons (always need ribbons LOVE grosgrain) --Office/school supplies ALL OF IT - funky paperclips, pads of paper, post-its, you name it I LOVE OFFICE SUPPLIES! --Tea - I'm a tea drinker. Love Earl Grey, good black and green teas, am trying to love herbal if they aren't too sweet tasting. --Baseball is another passion of mine! --Sarcasm, twisted sense of humor (not gross, just odd)

Crafting things I can live without (DISLIKES):
--Glitter (unless safely encased) --Cutesy (you know it when you see it) --Anything scented (too allergic)

Things I can live without in the regular world: -- Gravy, casseroles, fart jokes, mean people, again - anything scented

Favorite Music

Elvis (Costello & Presley), Nick Lowe, Most POP music, garage bands, Raul Malo (ahhhhh Raul), k.d.lang, Dwight Yoakum, Los Straightjackets, Chris Isaak, Lyle Lovett, The Jackson 5 ...
