My bestie, your fellow swap member, NickiSlater, has encouraged me to join. I create and design cards, but I am willing to dabble outside the box, LOL! Decorating is at the top of my list of passions too. A friend once told me I could decorate anything...soooo I am here for the challenge. Got paper? Let's talk!

Married, mother of 3 kids. Two older boys are grown up, and live away from home. My oldest son lives in Springfield, MO and my other son lives in the Washington D.C. Metro area. I have a teenage daughter...She is in HS. I get worn out trying to keep up with her schedule.

TURQUOISE, more blues in any hue...indigo...periwinkle...cobalt, red, black,

Pink and black are cool DIVA colors!

Love BLING, Metallics, and lots of glitter!

I am a shopaholic by nature. Love to find a bargain either in person or on the w.w.w. Flea markets and antique malls are marvy!

I love unique items such as vintage jewelry, clothing, purses, and other accessories. I am drawn to elegant tableware such as Lustreware and Jadite .

Furniture has a soft spot in my heart as well, but I no longer have room for it in my home...sad :(

COLORS: I do not like orange, except for Halloween crafting. Green is okay in nature, but have become tired of the color otherwise.

MOTIF: No Southwest, fruit, or farms please
