First off, I am a cat lady. I have two of my own kitties and I’ve fostered over 50 cats (all successfully adopted out :) ). I LOVE to shop mostly at thrift shops and flea markets. It's an addiction. I enjoy sewing, baking, embroidery and macramé. My favorite animal is either a cat or an owl. My living room and kitchen are 70's owl/ mushroom themed with an entire wall of macramé owls. II LOVE swaps as I’m a habitual shopper, be warned if you become my friend through swapping I’m likely to randomly mail you something I found in a yard sale that reminded me of you! :) I recently graduated college and am currently bored out of my mind trying to find a job!

I like just about all music except rap. I especially like Indie and bands like cake, The Shins and the Strokes.

My favorite book of all time is Martha Speaks which is about a dog who eats alphabet soup and then can speak. It's a silly kid's book but ADORABLE and the dog has the same name as me so that's a plus!

My favorite movie of all time is Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. It just seems to get even more ridiculous every time I see it. I love the part where the German official sinks the aquarium sub during a meeting. But it has to be the ORIGIONAL killer tomatoes from the 60's not the cartoon one. I also like Beverly hill Chihuahua. Simply ridiculous and so cute!

I love to sew especially, also I like to do paper crafts and alter books. Mostly though I do paper crafts with scraps. I also LOVE to make dioramas out of found objects, it's somewhat of an obsession, I like to find little things everywhere like buttons, miniatures etc... a nice and FREE hobby :)

nearly everything but specifically: buttons, macramé owls, cat pictures (especially kitschy 70'sones with huge eyes), vintage quilts and sheets, fabric, and anything cute and Japanese.

Cutrrent surplus in my craft stash:

Fabric Buttons Embroidery thread Zippers Paper Vintage kids books Trim Plastic figurines (like cracker jack charms etc..)

Likes: Fuzzy things!! the softer the better! Sweater type socks (for the cold weather) Cable knit things :) Cats/ other animals cool patterns (like paisley, flowers or weird plaid)

Dislikes: TOE SOCKS! Ugh cause my big toe is too big! White cotton Rainbow stripes (well small ones are fine!) really short socks (ankle is fine though :) )

Allergic to nuts...

Like: Mint (any kind) Fruity tea CAFFINATED!!!!

Favorite flavor: vanilla or rooibos

Dislikes: Orange Pekoke Green Tea

I LOVE loose tea and have bags and all allready :) I'd be VERY interested to try homemade tea! sounds great!
