When I'm not on here I'm...

Biking or walking outdoors...I love to observe nature and get some great exercise at the same time. Getting a little wet and muddy is just proof that I had a great time. To see the flowers bloom in their season, watch birds and animals (even bugs) and just be around trees and water gives me great joy.

Cooking...It's a rare day when I don't cook something from scratch. When I'm away on vacation, I miss my kitchen. I have fun making things like bread, yogurt or candy. It's very interesting to try recipes from other countries or try new things with vegetables from my garden.

Reading...I spend a ridiculous amount of time reading. I like to read a bit of everything, but I am most delighted by classic English literature, fantasy fiction and mysteries. Just being inside a library makes me feel happy.

Favorites

Realistic animals, birds, nests, eggs, trees, wildflowers, all flowers, fairies, kitties.

I like all colors.

Ginger, lemon, mint, dark chocolate. Indian food. Roasted vegetables. Fresh herbs. Homemade bread. Trying new recipes.

Mailboxes, real stamps, snail mail, stickers, stationery, notecards.

British things, such as British words and phrases, books and movies that take place in England, the Union Jack (I'd like to visit England someday)

Tea (black, green, herbal, plain, flavored, I love them all), teacups, teapots, tea parties.

I love handmade, love doodles, love mail art.

Dislikes

I'm pretty easy going, but I'm not into sports. I'd rather food/tea were in factory sealed packages. I do not use scrapbooking items or planner pages.

Favorite Books

Jane Eyre

Wuthering Heights

Harry Potter

Lord of the Rings

Night Circus

Hunger Games

Gone Girl

Agatha Christie mysteries

The Time Traveler's Wife

Peter Pan

Alice in Wonderland

Favorite Movies

Chocolat

Matilda

The Princess Bride

Favorite Television

Downton Abbey

Sherlock

Doctor Who

Grantchester

Favorite Crafts

I LOVE crocheting! It keeps me patient when I'm waiting or forced to sit still.

I like cross-stitch, making friendship bracelets with embroidery thread, knitting and sewing felt crafts by hand.

I love writing letters and doing mail art! I like using stickers and washi.

I'd like to try beading/jewelry making.

Comment: Thanks so much for the beautifully wrapped teas! I can't wait to open them. I HAVE read Elevation, and liked it a lot too! It's quite different than his other books, and that was cool, although I love his other books too!

Comment: Great job on getting outside for all of those amazing sounding walks and hikes with family! You got a lot of nice variety in. I liked picturing all of the scenery and locations you described about where you went. Nature is so rejuvenating. Do you have another goal for October and lovely crisp fall weather walking? We also had a lovely heat wave in Sept, and now more fall-ish, similar to your weather. I did not succeed at my pushups, fell off that wagon because I kept wearing out my shoulders with gardening etc., or then just forgot, but I did so some pushups in my gym workouts that I didn't really log. I'm thinking I need to try it again but with not ALL pushups, but make it more varied tricep challenge to avoid repetative injury. Thank you for the flat surprises, I love mint tea. I'm going to sew the flower onto one of my winter hats. The handmade card is gorgeous! What is the chunky gold glitter that you used to edge the frame?
Response: That is a gorgeous handmade card, isn't it? I didn't make it. I have owned it for about a year, and don't laugh...it was too pretty for me to write on. So it became your "flat surprise."
