Hi there, I'm an addict to anything creative :) As you can see on my homepage, I'm a font designer and love to digi-scrap. But I also paint and draw, and I simply HAVE to try new creative stuff as soon as I hear about it.

Mainly innovative artists like Jamie Cullum, James Morrison or Björk. But I listen to all sorts of music except dumb stuff... I play the recorder, the saxophone and the musical saw.

Anything by Stephen King, P.J. Tracy, Jeffrey Eugenides, and of course JK Rowling. So you could say I love thrillers and crime. I don't go for fantasy (except Harry Potter) or science fiction. Romantic stories are okay as long as they are beautifully written (for example by Cecelia Ahern), and I love comedy à la Monty Python or Hugh "Doctor House" Laurie.

Gosh, too many to mention. As long as the plot is original and the actors are convincing, I like to see any type of movie.

I love Monk! And Navy CIS :) Other shows I won't miss: Desperate Housewives (I'm a little chaotic just like Susan, but without the love hassle), Lost, Dharma&Greg. I also watch shows like "Who wants to be a millionaire", that's my "soundtrack" when I do creative stuff.

Anything with paper, especially handmade cards. Lately I'm much into ATC making and trying new techniques.
