Sorry for the lapse in my swaps. For those who didn't get a package, I'm sending them out this weekend. Way late, I apologize.

I am a graphic designer. I love color. In my living room I'm playing with a palette of muted blues and black and greys. In the bedroom, bold patterns in red and white and black and white.

I haven't sent a personal letter by snail mail for years because I've been sucked into the Web 2.0 world. So in my "free time" you can often find me sitting at my desk reading my feeds, catching up on tv shows or surfing etsy. My platform of choice, definitely a mac, but right now I use a pc. I'm a cross-platform sort of girl and I intend to stay that way. It's a cross-platform sort of world we live in.

I love to cook and bake, but my little pink retro kitchen is only 5 feet wide. So I spend a lot more time hand washing my dishes than anything else.

I've done a little of everything; silk screening, sewing, cooking & baking, food styling, photography, copperplate printing, painting & drawing, collage and scrap booking, knitting & crocheting... I really like experimenting with different mediums and materials so I tend to gather a lot of supplies...a lot of supplies that I had to sell at a garage sell when I moved :( But I'm building my collection again, which just means more new projects and more new things to try.

About music, I listen to what I want to. Yes, I cross genres. Here's a few that have 5 stars in my ipod right now:
