lissame

I am a SAHM of 3 boys. They keep me busy, aged 14, 12 and 9. They don't stop until they go to bed so I am one tired mamma. I love it though. In between school I taxi boys to swimming. I spend my time shuttling them to various Dr apts. Trying to keep them well mind, body and soul. In all of this I try to find some time for myself crafting in my little space. I love paper so I do 3D items often, scrapbook, cards, ATCs, and when that doesn't hold my interest I will pick up my crochet needles and whip together some doilies, toques, scarves, anything really. Then when I am bored I will try my hand at some other media to broaden my horizons.

I am pretty eclectic with the music but I love Tori Amos, in fact I think I have all of her albums, I also love Enya. Went to school with her cousin...so it really is kind of a personal liking. I love Bare Naked Ladies as well as many other Canadian artists...like to support the local arts as much as I can.

I love Mercedes Lackey, I have so many of her books it is most easier to ask what I don't have. I also love Marrion Zimmer Bradly. There are others but mostly these find there way into my collection no matter what it is...I'm also an avid eReader too just love reading it relaxes me.

I love all of the CSI shows, Law and Order SVU and CI, I didn't fall in love with Grey's Anatomy until the third season but now I can't wait to see the next show. I also love House...though I can't stand any horror flicks...I haven't been able to watch much t.v. lately so thank goodness for pvr. I record the shows that I want and watch them later when the boys are asleep...or when I can't sleep.

I haven't found a craft that I can't do. I currently though love to scrapbook, stamping, card making, cross stitch, crochet and occasionally you might find me painting. I also have other crafts in my collection such as beading that I like to tinker with.

When it comes to swapping I love nice and neat FBs, both regular and mom only. I also love making and swapping decos. I also am an avid sticker and stationary fan...so if it fits in an envie I think of it as fair game...the only thing that seems to ever get in the way is the cost of postage.

I dislike things that my partner put no effort in. I really dislike sloppy fbs, they drive me nuts. If you want to swap then at least put a little effort in it.

I also dislike black ink pens, it is the cheapest colour of ink and I really dislike it. Not sure where my distaste comes from but I just don't write with them unless it is for legal purposes.

Crafting Materials - ATC card stock - fibers - glass beads - glitter - peel off stickers

I am sure I will add to this list as time goes on. Thanks for looking.
