PLEASE RATE ME. I pledge to rate and aim to please you!!! I enjoy finding items in your profile and decorating your package, please be courteous and rate me. Don't leave me hanging.

I’ve been married for 19 years and have 2 teen boys (age 13 and 15) who are my life. I have two kitty cats (Bruce Campbell and Ninja) and a pup (Teddy) who is a pitsky mix.

WORK/EDUCATION: I am a freelance editor and blog and marketing writer. I used to edit/write for a medical coding print magazine. I pulled content together, write, edit, set up cover photo shoots, and create medical illustrations and artwork. I have a bachelor's degree in graphic design. I used to be a web designer and ad designer.

I am business owner of My Garden Gal http://www.mygardengal.com

I studied for a semester in Manchester, England at MMU. It was the best!

CRAFTING: I used to make and sell purses and jewelry. I love adding flowers, beads, and unique buttons to stuff. I really like working with fabric and sewing and making my own clothing creations. ATCs and matchboxes are my new favorite crafts.

I love making rosaries, earrings, and wine charms.

MOVIES: The WIZARD of OZ is the best movie ever! Cheesy horror movies, Army of Darkness, Clint Eastwood, old hot rod movies, Monsters vs. Aliens, Tombstone, Star Wars trilogy, Naked Gun, Napoleon Dynamite, Cabin Boy, Stephen King movies

MUSIC: Bands - Reverend Horton Heat, Kings of Nuthin', Deke Dickerson, Brian Setzer/Stray Cats, Johnny Cash, Straight 8's, The Cure, REM, Ministry, Pixies, Beastie Boys, 80's punk, rockabilly, psychobilly, classical (especially Beethoven), alternative.

TELEVISION: Maine Cabin Masters, Flea Market Flip, Stone House Revival, Celebrity Ghost Stories, Psychic Kids, Paranormal State, Scooby Doo, Ghost Brothers, Knock Knock Ghost, Dead Files, Oddities, My Strange Addictions, My Crazy Obsession, 30 Rock, Grimm, Haven, Pee Wee's Playhouse.

HOBBIES: Seeing live bands play, especially rockabilly/psychobilly shows. I am a concert and show junkie. I love dancing til my feet hurt.

I used to be a paranormal investigator and ghost hunter (mostly a ghost hunter because I didn't have time to go through the recorded evidence). I have stopped because now I'm concentrating on helping the living.

VINTAGE CARS: I attend lots of classic car shows. I own a 53 Ford Crestline Victoria---It's a sweet ride!

Creating art, attending church, and gardening are my therapy. I LOVE getting my hands and feet dirty and enjoying mother nature while gardening.

BELIEFS: I'm a Roman catholic/spiritualist, but I love ALL RELIGIONS. If you want to send me something about your beliefs, no matter what religion, feel free. I've taken world religion and theology classes and I think all religions are tied together and everyone is on their own journey through life. I've seen and heard a lot of UNBELIEVABLE, CRAZY stuff while ghost hunting, which makes me believe there IS an afterlife, and good and evil. We are all in control of making good or harmful decisions. I think it's important to believe in something; otherwise, what's the point in living?

I WILL NOT send you religious or holiday items or quotes unless your profile asks for them or you are in a swap that has that theme.

LOVES: I LOVE detail and really small intricate things. The smaller and more detailed, the better.

50's artwork, cool cats, Hello Kitty, Legos, vintage clothing, Wizard of Oz, wine and cheese, fancy cocktails, gardening, ghosts, cheese

When I made my first ATC and Matchbox, I was hooked!!!

LIKES: Tea, flowers, beads, stickers, art and design.

I ALWAYS READ YOUR PROFILE (maybe 2, or 3, or 4 times, and even for quick send swaps), SO PLEASE FILL IT OUT, I don't want to send you something you don't like. Also, PLEASE RATE ME! Contact me if you don't get a package because I always send one.

WORMS!!! Yuck, they give me nightmares.

I don't like ALIENS, UFOs, or GOREY ZOMBIES: I don't like blood and guts. Night of the Living Dead" and "Shaun of the Dead" zombies are funny, but anything else is annoying and gross to me. My husband likes zombies, so if you send a gory zombie, I'm giving it to him.

I don't like when I don't get rated.
