About Me

I am a 40 something year old married female and have a 6 year old daughter. My family and I live in Austin, Texas, USA. I love making art and I love to push the limits of my creativity. I am constantly dreaming of and designing art projects in my mind. I try to create at least a little art everyday.

Favorite Crafts

My favorite crafts are vast. I love to:

Favorite Colors and Style

My favorite color is turquoise.

I love all shades of pink, purple and white/tan/beige.

I also love fall colors and bold vibrant colors (especially when combined with black).

My favorite art and decorating style is shabby chic and all the neutral and soft colors associated it with it. I love all the floral patterns and vintage lace that goes along with it too.

Favorite Movies

I love psychological trillers, romantic dramas, and suspenseful movies such as: Doubt , Atonement, The Graduate, Bridges of Madison County, Scent of a Woman, No Country for Old Men, The Hurt Locker, Brothers and The Game. My all time favorite movie stars are Meryl Streep, Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro.

beautiful paper napkins

vintage photos

vintage postcards

foreign language materials (i.e. non-english)

vintage letters

ribbons

fabric remnants and fat quarters

buttons

Favorite Television

My favorite television shows are: Wipeout, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, 20/20, Oprah, Dateline, the Everybody Loves Raymond.

Interest

Since I was a child I have been collecting miniature figurines about an inch or smaller in size. My collection includes for example, mini dolls, cars, dishes, animals and even mini toys from gum ball machines. I keep them in a special curio cabinet my father especially built for the collection.

Dislikes

I dislike lizards, snakes, frogs, incense, teacher reward stickers and anything that smells like cigarette smoke. (Please no teas, coffee or powdered drinks - thanks.)

Comment: Lou, The ATC you sent is really beautiful!! You said you used three layers of tissue. At what point did you stamp the image? It is such a lovely, peaceful thing and I thank you for it as well as the delightful and colorful tissue napkins you included. Oh. And the handmade envie started the whole package off with a smile. I had a trying day today. It was great to have this waiting for me when I got home. Thanks and hugs! Sue
Response: I've sent you a pm.

I love that you try to do something creative every day! I try to also, but I get lazy sometimes... I LOVE vintage photos too! I just came back from a vacation on the Oregon coast, where I hit up a few antique stores and bought a whole bunch of photos from about 1900-1915. My favorite ones are the ones where someone moved and there is blur, or some other slight imperfection in the print. it makes the people seem more... human I guess? Happy swapping!!

Lou,

We have tons in common. I have two girls 4&5. I too love to make something crafty everyday.

I just came across this link from another website and can not wait to get started. I have told 20 plus friends about it so they can start swaps.

I love to read and your book list has tons of books I have in my library and have read. I love Oprah's Book Club list. I haven't seen Lovely Bones yet but I like the book.

I look forward to swaps with you in the future.

Joy
