"Trucking Diva", Mom of Four, Dairy goat farmer, Black lab owner, Chickens in the backyard...along with some horses & rabbits too. College-educated, die-hard Mizzou (University of Missouri) fan- GO TIGERS! Professional photographer. Jill of all Trades.

NOT SUCH A FAN OF:

cartoony/cutesy creatures, sci-fi, junk that will collect dust (like figurines), things that don't really have a home, stuffed animals...anything with spiders...except spider rings for Halloween. Edibles...I'm a little paranoid and jaded, sorry.

LOVES:

Halloween! It's our favorite holiday!

Useful craft-making items. Humorous magnets, pens/pads, etc., most anything retro, pin-up girls, anything to do with cameras...especially antique ones, quirky postcards, the color green, fun material...especially black & gold.

The baby of the family likes hotwheels-ish/car-related things...the girls like fun stationery or stickers/pens, etc...the oldest son is into hunting things, war books, maps, etc. The handsome hubby is a duck hunter and trucker...anything handy for a trucker (pen holder, organizer, etc.) or anything involving labrador retreivers. Oh, yeah, and he likes the Vikings. (Go, Tigers!) :)

Oh, and I'm a huge fan of fishing. Handmade Lindy Rigs would be awesome for Walleye Season! ...and you can't go wrong with hooks, slip bobbers, swivels, etc.

Slippers-sz 9, recipes- food, cheeses, soaps: especially those with a story, scarves, purses/bags, etc, would be super.

Love, love, love children's literature. Cannot pass a bookfair without spending money. Not such a fan of adult lit, but do like humor...David Sedaris, Tina Fey. Trying to struggle through the classics again...Oliver Twist/Little Women, etc...Dickens is so hard to read before you go to bed.

Dexter. Favorite show out there. Also Necessary Roughness, Glee, Royal Pains, Bones, So You Think You Can Dance, America's Got Talent, Biggest Loser.

Not a fan of new country-crossover, really...when I clean the house I usually listen to dance club music...Usher, 3OH!3, Kesha, Lil' Jon, etc. When I work out, I want to listen to Metallica, Rob Zombie, Slip Knot, something that makes you mad enough to push through the pain. Listen to top 40 otherwise, but have a special place in my heart for 80's hair metal, old country, and Broadway.

Smart-alec subtle-humored indie dark comedies....Juno, Little Miss Sunshine, American Beauty, etc.

Photographer who doesn't like to scrapbook...the idea of cutting my pictures bothers me...I also am too much of a perfectionist, and it would take me 85 years to do one page. But, I do love the paper!!! I do other things with it.

I do love fabric...and ribbon...and buttons. I'm starting to get into the feltie thing. I always make all of my son's Halloween costumes...and theme-party outfits...we like to dress up in our house. I'd like to start quilting--well, assembling them, not hand-quilting. I also love making anything crafty for school, decoration or theme party. I love anything exotic or different. I live in the sticks, so crafty access is minimal. Candy Sticks (think homemade suckers, brownie pops, etc.)...I can't find them here!!!
