If you've sent me something and haven't heard from me, please don't hesitate to ask me about it!

I am happily married with 2 kids. My daughter is 16 and my son is 13.

I enjoy crocheting for charity and homeschooling the kids.

crochet!

paper crafts

watercolor & ink drawing

fantasy sci-fi, that means the dragons and wizards type more than the outer space type (though I do like some of those too); fictional novels about peoples' (or animals') lives; historical fiction...

I love used books, especially if you've read and recommend them!

• I like almost all colors but am most drawn to earthy and jewel tones. Some of my favorites include tan, brown, hunter/forest green, moss green, navy blue, maroon, etc.
• Flavored coffee with cream - decaf
• unique/funny/pretty coffee cups
• Walks in the park
• Garage sales & thrift stores
• Popcorn, watermelon, ice cream, Mexican food...
• I usually wear a size L shirt and mostly wear "nice" t-shirts
• Animals - most any of them, but especially frogs, turtles, elephants, cats, and tropical fish and other ocean animals
• Bugs
• Mythical & Legendary creatures - dragons, knights, griffins, monsters, etc. (not so much mermaids and unicorns)
• Autumn - the colors, pumpkins, gourds, fall leaves, the smell of a cool October or November morning....
• Yarn, and I mostly use worsted weight acrylic because I crochet for charity and am looking for ease and warmth
• Used books
• ATCs & handmade postcards, especially whimsical art and handdrawn/painted art
• Postcards - anything goes! I like the thought and effort put into handmade postcards. I like funny and unique cards, and I like beautiful ones too. About the only ones I don't really care about (though I know some people go ga-ga for them) are mapcards, I'd much prefer a local scene. Of course, if you send me a mapcard, I'll appreciate it because you sent it. :o) Oh, and I prefer the standard size cards because I'm planning to make a book of my collection.
• Organization...I don't have much of it...
• Nice stuff for a bath - my favorite scents include eucalyptus, citrus, mint, spicy/cinnamon, jasmin, and some florals (the only one I really don't like is lavender and that's mostly cause it doesn't seem to like me, kwim?)

• Erotica
• Heavy Goth
• Rap Music
• really frilly girlie stuff
• pastels (except, of course, in certain circumstances)
• Scorpions!
• The smell of Cigarette Smoke
• lavender
• Stuff that will collect dust
• I prefer to buy my own cosmetics
