My name is Tonya Doughty and I can most easily be found at http://gauchogirl.blogspot.com. I am a moment preservationist (photographer), mixed-media family historian (life artist), a fiber artist (knitter and crocheter), textile guru (quilter and sew-er), LOL, who is an actual graphic designer during the day. Married to 1 funny guy who gets me, we have three crazy daughters, 2 cats and an over-the-top rambunctious Golden Retriever.

I listen to anything but country, and that isn't even bad, I just don't know much about it.

Fools Rush In, Knocked Up, Dusk Til Dawn, 13th Warrior, Gladiator, Pee-Wees Big Adventure, Ocean's Eleven

House, Grey's Anatomy, ER, CSI: NY, Weeds

antyhing related to photography, paper, fabric, yarn, art.

I don't have room for "knick-knacks" so cute, but otherwise purely ornamental, items will be difficult to find a home for. But, if it can go on the wall, I'll love it. I like things pertaining to (digital) photography. I love sewn, quilted, knit or crocheted items. I love paper products like notebooks and stationary. I like all colors, so anything goes there. I love handmade jewelry. I am NOT religious, so nothing of that sort, please. I'm not big on holidays - I like celebrating them with my kids, but I'm not huge on the decorating side of things. Convenience and usefulness are important to me. I don't cook much, but I do love to bake! I love craft books and inspiration books and journals. I love things that have to do with words and letters and numbers (I am a graphic designer). I love embroidery. I love most things modern and/or eclectic. I love things that make me laugh. I love organizational devices - things with cubbies and holes and baskets and such. I love natural scents, like foods and fruits, but don't like "perfumy" or most flowery smells, at all. I love handmade soap. I don't wear lipstick, but love a good lip balm. Peppermint and crapefruit are two of my favorite things, both the flavors and the scents.
