About Me

I am a full-time wife to an amazing husband and a full-time mom to a beautiful college-age daughter, an innovative 13-year-old son, and a silly 9-year-old daughter (and a 115-pound German Shepherd!)... and I work full time as a writer and instructor. In a nutshell: I am a busy -- but VERY HAPPY -- gal! :)

Favorite Books

Misery; Stiff; Death's Acre: Inside The Body Farm; Watchers; The Firm; The Scarlet Pimpernel; Cakewrecks; Grammar For Smart People; Magic Kingdom For Sale; The Help; Bunnicula; A Pocket For Corduroy (oops... I digress!)

Favorite Television

The Mandalorian; Stranger Things; Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.; CSI; The Office; Parks & Rec; 30 Rock; Forensic Files; StarTrek: Next Generation (and Voyager)

Favorite Crafts

I enjoy scrapbooking and paper crafts.... but have not been able to make much time for it. I still love all the papers and doo-dads and make my own cards now and again! I love washi tape, rubber stamps, and ink and have been exploring all the fun things to do with that!

I also like to paint, but so far, it's just been at Sips n' Strokes, where I have a guide and all the materials ready for me! ;)

I used to cross stitch a lot, but I'm not too talented with sewing, knitting, or otherwise.

I also just like to DO crafty things myself, like make frames, wreaths, jewelry, bookmarks, ornaments, etc., etc.

Likes & Preferences

I love gray, blue, and sage green. My house is FULL of those colors! I wear a lot of charcoal and gray and silver jewelry. I also love polka-dots, stripes, toille, and damask patterns! And I am a sock snob! I LOVE fun socks - fuzzy ones, patterned ones, crazy ones, long or short ones (size XL or women's 11, please)!

I love chocolate (especially dark chocolate, Dove, and Cadbury), taffy, Peeps, gummies, and just about any type of candy! ;) I can't live without lemonade, cheesecake, pizza (good pizza), and Diet Mt. Dew or Diet Dr. Pepper!

Other likes include: Disney (I used to work at Disney Store... then at WDW Jungle Cruise and later the Polynesian; my favorite rides are Haunted Mansion and Thunder Mountain.); I collect Disney pins, Tsum Tsums, and all things Eeyore; I also love Tokidoki Unicornos, scented candles, animals (ladybugs, bees, butterflies, giraffes, penguins, pandas, dogs, turtles), pens, pencils, frames, and marcasite jewelry.

I am a Christian. My favorite holidays are Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love collecting quotes; I have many books of favorite quotes, and I have words and phrases displayed all over my home!

And I love baking desserts and doing little things for people to make them smile!

Things to do

We have not had cable TV in our house (by choice) for over 20 years, so we don't spend too much time in front of the talking box. I do love surfing the web, however. I enjoy shopping online and/or through catalogs!

I like spending time outdoors... even just sitting outside in nice weather is great! I LOVE to read (I am a magazine junky, but I also try to make time read at least one book every few months). I sometimes ride my bike with my husband, fish, or kayak. We also took aikido together. I'm a blue belt! ;) But my favorite hobby is shooing sports and teaching others to be safe with firearms! I'm a neat freak, so I enjoy tidying and organizing.... or at least I enjoy the results of tidying and organizing!

And most of all, I love spending time with my family!

Dislikes & Don't's

Ok, just in case, here are some things I do NOT like at all: licorice, raisins, coffee, or any coffee-like flavors, tea (hot or iced!), spiders, lipstick, and most vegetables!

Wish List A-Z

A - Apple scent; B - Bookmarks; C - Chocolate and cardstock; D - Daffodils; E - Embellishments; F - ; G - Gummies; H - Handmade items; I - Ink (for stamping); J -Jelly Belly jellybeans; K - Kitchen towels; L - Labels (for mailing); M - Monogrammed anything!; N - Notecards; O -... P - Pens; Q - Quotes; R - Ribbons; S - Socks; T - Tags (for gifts); U -... V -... W - Washi tape; X - ... Y -... Z -...

Comment: Horrible day...I had to pay an additional $1.74 in postage to get your package. I did not have any cash on me and don’t use my credit/debit card for amounts under $10.00. I had to make an unplanned return trip back to the post office to pay.
Response: What? Oh, no!!!!! That is terrible. I am so, SO sorry to hear that. Most definitely a horrible experience. UGH. :( We were heading out of town for 10 days, so we weighed the package at home instead of going to the post office. Our scale must be WAY off, somehow. That's depressing.... Not at all what I'd planned.

Comment: Beth, I don't even know where to start! I loved everything, the Lady drawing on the envelope immediately made me smile and the cruise line PC is so perfectly timed as we were just considering doing one! I loved everything and the pin will come in handy next time I'm in the park, so great to see another Disney fan, thank you for everything!
Response: You are SO welcome! I had a blast putting everything together and getting ideas from your profile! I'm definitely a DisNerd and love sharing that magic with others! (BTW: The Disney cruise is our FAVORITE! I have been on 11 so far!)
