Music is my escape. It actually helps me concentrate on things like reading and writing. I also listen when I'm stressed out. It can take me to a whole new plane.

Style wise I am into electronic (think XM BPM), Alternative, Dance, etc. Love Top 40 right now. I really enjoy the mix of dance music and songs.

Some of my favorite artists include:

Florence + the Machine

Lady Gaga,

John Newman

Some favorite songs are:

Florence's new single What Kind of Man, Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars, Geronimo by Sheppard, Dear Future Husband by Meghan Trainor

I have a massive workout playlist that I love to share, since good workout music is hard to come by. I'm currently at 90 songs. Music can make or break your run. It's motivation. Although, I hear serious runners only need the sound of their feet hitting the pavement. Ha.

I'm a book fiend. Favorites include:

Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare

Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare

Divergent series by Veronica Roth

Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr

I'm going to stick movies down here...

I love Frozen, Disney in general, Marvel universe movies, The Book of Life (I love Dia de los Muertos in general. The movie had fantastic art and a celebratory story line.),

Paper Crafts.

prefer whimsical art. I love zentangles.

I paint too. I have a ton of painted canvas's hung up in my craft room.

Oh yeah, I have a craft room. My lovely boyfriend put up shelves and all. It's cute!

My work tries to be "diverse" by having us participate in craft competitions. I normally win. I ended up with a plaque on my desk last year for being named the most creative in my group. I feel like I'm bragging, but I am really just trying to give you a sense of my level of crafts and creativity. lol.

I spend an exuberant amount of time on Pinterest learning new crafts and what not.

I am 27 years old. I work full time. I consider myself crafty.

I have two cats. They are my world and spoiled rotten. I love pet birds. I used to have 4 cockatiels.

I have a boyfriend.

I love coffee and tea. K-cups revolutionized me for at home coffee, but I love Starbucks.

I LOVE sweet southern wine, but I am also a whiskey/bourbon drinker.

I collect fleece stuff like socks, blankets, etc. I also collect cool old keys. Starbucks mugs including tumblers and cups. My favorite is a traveler mug that says "Coffee and Cat Hair" on one side and "I never leave home without them" on the other. It was a gift from someone.

I enjoy working out. Including lifting weights. I hate running bc I have asthma, but I do 5Ks anyway. I have all kinds of running accessories. They excite me. My next run is Dirty Girl in Atlanta on April 25.

I have an iPhone 6 Plus, HP Touchsmart, and iPad Air 2. I like to think I'm happenin' with technology. (That's lolable)

I'm that kind of girl who dances around her house when nobody is home.

Also,

If you have sent me a swap and haven't been rated, poke me, nudge me, or beat me over the head with a brick. Seriously, just let me know. I'll get it fixed.

Also, after having done quite a few swaps, I have some things that swappers do that bother me. I do not feel obligated to give you a heart or comment on my rate. If I rate you a 5, I liked it and it met requirements. If I leave a comment on my rate, you probably got a heart which speaks for itself. I think it's rude to expect a response on everything and feel entitled to extra. If you did make that effort, I will let you know. I'm a very appreciative person, so I do go out of my way to let you feel as special as you made me feel. Just don't beg for it, it's gross.

I love thunderstorms and rain.

I love drinking coffee and tea.

I love candy. Mostly chocolate.

Themes I would love to see in swaps:

foxes, owls, kitties, whimsy art, cofee, tea, deer silhouette art, frozen (disney movie elsa particularly), supernatural, feathers, birds, zentangles, books, wine, Where The Wild Things Are, Alice in Wonderland, Coraline, Steampunk, Pink, Grey, Black, White, dia de los muertos, funny stuff, wine themed, Tim Burton, creepy but cute stuff... Think Coraline, chevron, woodland, rain

Please don't send me: Dogs, monkeys, green, purple, orange, flowery, religious stuff, candles, things with fruit (i hate fruit)
