Graphic Designer by Trade - Crafter by Passion!

Mother of 2 boys, 1 XL Boy, and one 4 legged boy. I love many different crafts,

•Jewelry-making - Beads beads beads, I love beads!! Necklaces, bracelets, anklets, earrings, badge holders, rear view mirro dangles, if it has beads I'll make it!!

• Painting, usually on stretched canvas with oil paints or acrylic paints. Usually a tree or in reds and browns, but id love inspiration to paint something new everyday of the week.

• Scrapbooking is great my boys all love to go through our old albums together, and scrapbooking sure made that more interesting.

• Sewing is something I like to do and have moderate experience, but in my town of buckeye AZ finding fabric is virtually impossible- I recycle whatever fabric I can and try to hit fabric stores (few and far between) when i go into phoenix.

• Computer Art is a passion of mine for 10 years now. I actually love my job! I design business cards, tshirts, flyers, posters, door wraps, invoices, wedding invites, xmas cards. I can design anything in print.

• Name art is a form of graphic design. You wont find a more personalized item anywhere. I use an individual or family name and incorporate hobbies likes and anything special to them. Name art comes framed or just a print you can frame yourself, in any size you'd like.

• Card Making - people really enjoy getting a hand made card especially when it was made just for them. what a fun way to use some of those left over supplies too!

• Soap making is fun, I enjoy placing trinkets inside and mixing fragrances/textures.

Here is a list of some of my other Favorites: - Music - •Alternative Rock (Modest Mouse, Violent Femmes, Sublime, Nine inch Nails, Tracy Chappman, Ben Harper) •Hip hop - Great for working out and pickin the pace up. (Black Eyed Peas, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, Beyonce)

Favorite Books I dont read much, I like instructional,inspirational & craft books though.

Movies I Enjoy •Pineapple Express •A Christmas Story •What Dreams may come •Over the Hedge •Simpsons Movie

I have lots of left over items from different crafts ive started or simple cant find an inspirational use for. I like earthy colors, but am also drawn to dark blues, purples and reds. I'm always looking for new ideas and crafts to try.
