I live in a 150 year old victorian house with two dogs a beautiful cat and my husband. We now have five chickens that lay colored eggs and two playful drawf goats. We also now own a lovely little home on a small island on Lake Fenton in Michigan where we keep our chickens and goats. I go to yoga classes. Love to garden and decorate. I collect old brooches, flowerfrogs, milk glass, and vintage postcards.my dogs are a white english bull and a tiny red pomeran. I drink coffee and tea also wine. I love chocolate, anything vintage or victorian,photos of dogs. I like dragonflies, and anything with birds on them..I also collect unusual buttons to use on the purses I make, for thrift store swaps , vintage brooches and pins,charms, anything with birds on them, unusual salt and pepper shakers, things I can use on ATCs, and if you are outside the US something cool that I would not find here.

James Blunt, Citizen Cope, Corrine Bailey Ray, Macy Gray. Dido, Madonna, Elton John, Adele and Amy Winehouse. I am also a fan of Adele, Madonna, Katy Perry and believe it or not Lady GaGa!

Drama, comedy, foreign, classic.and animated movies.

King of Queens, Greys Anatomy, and Wheel of Fortune ,game shows, The Big Bang is Hilarious! My new favorites are Bones, House, Castle and the Mentalist.Some of these are no longer aired, but there are always reruns!

I spend most of my free time with my ATC and Skinnys.creations now into art journaling,knitting, felting and occasionally Art dolls. I also like to read, bake and cook. The trick is finding time to do all of these. I almost have it under control. The key word being ALMOST! .I am now branching out into adding more altered art into my artwork such as books, dolls, metal, shrines and whatever else I can get my hands on.

I am not really fond of CUTESY art. I LIKE steampunk, victorian, romantic, birds. Please don't send food items, candy or gum. I HATE STICKERS!!!! on art work, So PLEASE DO NOT ADD THEM TO ART SENT TO ME.

My wish list...1. victorian mourning brooch
2. charms 3. something from Alphastamps.com 4. Freida rubber stamp 5. Steampunk style embellishments 6. Bird images, 7. Bird charms 8. Victorian or vintage items 9. anything grunge steampunk or Tim Holtz

RATING SWAPS This may seem picky to some,but this is how I rate swaps. I only give hearts for the quality of the work and if the rules of the swap are followed. Getting extras are a bonus and always appreciated, but do not guarantee a heart.
