I live with my husband and our furry child, Bismark in the Pacific Northwest. As far as I'm concerned I live in paradise.

I'm definitely a dog lover. Bismark hangs out with me all the time, loves to go for drives and insists on helping me garden.

I collect postcards, all things Godzilla and beads. LOVE BEADS : )

My most favorite time of the year is the fall. Love the leaves the cooler weather. Also there is Halloween. My favorite color is orange and there is a lot of it this time of year. And don't forget the pumpkins!

I also really enjoy the Holiday season but am not into the religious aspect of it. I have a particular fondness for snowmen.

I enjoy gardening in a relaxed fashion.

Enjoy the Japanese culture and have been studying the language for a while.

I love to thrift shop hunt. : )

My favorite craft is making beaded art dolls. But my goal for this year is to branch out to other types of dolls. So many kind and generous people have include scraps of orange fabric with swaps that I am now making a patchwork quilt. It has added meaning with getting the fabric from so many people. : )

I'm one of those with too many hobbies, I enjoy embroidery and cross-stitch, making my own clothes patterns, Japanese calligraphy and anything new that comes along and catches my interest.

I am not a picky person. I think if someone takes the effort to send me something then I will be happy with it.

I have always been fascinated with traveling and enjoy things from other places.

I love all colors, but orange is my favorite

I would love beads, interesting buttons or other small found objects.

Things I can use on my dolls such as, ribbon, ric rack, interesting scrap fabric that is a minimum of 6 - 9 inches tall and maybe 5 inches wide. Broken jewelry.

Can't drink coffee.
I'm allergic to wheat. Smelly things are not good because my husband is allergic to almost all smelly things.

I'm pretty easy to please. I love Christmas! Please no religious themed items. Snowmen are my fav.
