About Me

Looking for ways to connect outside my little part of the world. I truly miss good snail-mail. :-) I love to make things & have more hobbies than lifetime: Art, reading, scrapbooking, paper crafting, music, painting, woodworking, clay, metalwork, working with glass, junking, sewing, cooking, gardening, dancing, biking, photography, camping, hiking, calligraphy, crochet, 'altered' objects, and anything else that might be messy or fun! (preferably both)

I collect antique keys & locks, faeries, dolls, herbs, Christmas ornaments & coins...

I like a bit of excitement & am not easily offended(except by rudeness- VERY low tolerance), so I can have fun doing just about anything. :-)

I live in Texas with my husband, 2 teenage sons, a spoiled rotten dog & a tortoise. I love my life right now!

Likes :-)

Likes: OWLS OWL OWLS!; colors purple, black, silver, aqua; wine(the drink and the color:-); botanical/earthy themes; vintage/retro/modern- easy to pleasem :); strawberries; craft supplies; stationary; trees; the smell of rain; dragons; unicorns; I LOVE fairies- not 'cute' ones that look like children or cherubs; FABRIC!!; pen pals; reptiles & amphibians, tiny things(bottles, furniture, game pieces, charms); cuttlebug folders/dies; ribbon(I'm a ribbon/fiber/fabric fanatic lol); Leather- preferably old & beat up, like vintage gloves or used journals(scraps at least 2x2in), collage-worthy junk---phew!

Am into beautiful, natural, sinister, botanical, handmade, unique, salvaged, furry, refurbished/recycled, free, textured, homegrown ;), elegant, muddy & dark things.

Fraggle Rock, Poochie, Smurfs, WonderWoman, Sanrio, Barbie

Also, I love fire & the wind, though don't usually get to enjoy both at the same time...

Favorite Music

Anything that moves me... rock, world, a little country, classical, R&B, oldies, pop, dance, folk, classic rock, heavy stuff, on & on...

Favorite Television

Don't have cable & hate commercials, so most of what I watch comes from DVD or Netflix: the Office, Sons of Anarchy, Pawn Stars lol, Southpark, Family Guy, the Simpsons, Sopranos, Futurama, Scrubs, Entourage, Breaking Bad, Southpark, Cleveland Show, American Dad, Oz etc.

Dislikes...

Dislikes: color pink; color gold; clothed animals- real or not; beer; cheesy/cutesie stuff in general; pastel, nautical, or NASCAR-related things, san-x, clothed animals; scrapbook paper that is printed with photos(like real leaves or grass...).

I like cats, but don't really have any use for things with cats on them...

Hi again, Stephanie! I PMd you back on 10/31 asking if you'd received my "Notecard #24" swap as I hadn't been rated yet. You confirmed the next day that you had received it but were behind on leaving ratings and that I should have it that night. As the year is coming to an end, I was tying up the loose ends of my swaps so that I could Archive them, and I noticed I still haven't been rated by you. So I'd love to receive my 5 for this swap when you have a free moment. :) I hope you're alright and doing well. Have a good holiday and end-of-year!...Karla

Hi Stephanie! Have you received your mug rug yet? It should have been there by now and I hope you like it a lot. I enjoyed sewing it for you! :) Please please please let me know if you got it and like it. ~ Sarah (magentapink13) for "Make me a Mug Rug Swap"

Hello! I recently drank a cup of tea that had a wonderful quote on the tag - it was a Celtic saying - "When God made time, He made enough of it". I love to remind myself of that. I thought of it again when you listed all your hobbies. Sometimes I just want to take a month off from life just to craft and play! There are so many things I want to do and make. I imagine you can understand that! I have a whole collection of socks to make sock monkeys with, and have one finished, except for his face and ears. For some reason I can't get that part finished! Poor, faceless monkey!

I enjoyed reading about you! Keep loving and living a full life!

Hi super-busy mom, here´s another one, lol, however I am more into baking and probably not as busy as you, gosh you really are into a lot of things, aren´t you? :-) Do you also meet up with others for a "syjunta"? (Swedish word for when you hang out to do sowing crafts together, don´t know an English word for it). We watch a lot of series on DVD´s as well and I can recommend peep show (funny) and flight of the conchords (even funnier). :-D It was nice to read about you, and hope you have a great day! / Chic (we are so differents swap)
