Favorite Music

i'm an old style R&B girl. anything from the 70's and 80's - Aretha Franklin, the Spinners, the Jackson 5, the Sylvers, Teddy Pendegrass, Prince, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, The Three Degrees, Sister Sledge, The Temptations, Boys to Men, Al Jarrau (ok - he's not really R&B, but still...), Maze, Issac Hayes, Denise Williams, Minnie Ripperton, Stephanie Mills

Favorite Books

My Favorites include biographies: political and old hollywood are my faves... but i'll also watch anything on the "Biography" channel and if it's really good - True Hollywood Story.

Favorite Movies

I love old movies - Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Kathrine Hepburn, Bogart & Bacall. My other favs would include "chick flicks": Miss Congeniality, When Harry Met Sally, Baby Boom, Ghost, Oceans 11 (hey, I'm a chick and the boys are nice to stare at!)

Favorite Television

I watch more than I should - but less than I think I do. I like "good" reality shows - Survivor, American Idol, Big Brother, The Apprentice and America's Next Top Model. My fav scripted show is "Boston Legal" - OMG they are funny and so politically right on! Otherwise - you can always find me watching I Love Lucy...

Favorite Crafts

Paper has been my thing for the last 10 or so years. But I've picked back up on crochet and, at the moment - I'm a bit of a maniac with it. But paper is slowly creeping back in! I'm just starting to do ATC's and Inchies and Altered Composition book journals are also a new love.

About Me

Homeschooler, mom to one girl and step-mom to two boys in a tiny house. i studied art history in school but was (unfortunately) an accountant, by trade.

What I want for Xmas

I LOVE snowmen - especially vintage ones. We're also huge Disney fans. I love unique jewelry - especially anything ethnic (Indian, African, Mediterranean) - though I prefer small, dainty earrings to anything too large. We are also big fans of Harry Potter, faeries and light magical motifs (not so much on darker images or dragons).

My Girl

She's my 8 yr old apple pie. Her favorite colors involve a constantly revolving color-wheel that currently is favorited in the colors of black and ruby red (our birthstone). She's known to also love blues, pinks and purples. She's a girly-girl who loves fairies and "The Borrowers" with a passion. She's a mini-ecologist, who has a passion for saving the earth, preserving trees and helping animals. She loves scrapbooking, anything sparkley (gems/glitter), Hello Kitty, The Littlest Pet Shops and ballet. Any "mini" items are also favored, as her "Borrowers" house is of a constantly changing decor.

Due to allergies, bath bombs/bubble baths/bath oils can not be accepted. Also, (due to our curly black hair) hair products(shampoo/conditioner) also cannot be accepted.

books & beverages

Books: I love biographies! Especially stars from old hollywood - Bogart, Bacall, Tracey, Hepburn, Gable, Monroe, Taylor (any of them!) - on and on. Past that, I wouldn't be disappointed with children's classics (for my daughter) - anything , especially if it's very spirited, fanciful and imaginative (Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland...)

Beverage - I love coffees - especially flavored, like vanilla, hazelnut. For tea, I like warm and sweet - Chai. And hot chocolate is always welcome!

Comment: Hi Pia, I really appreciate your pm'ing me to let me know you were running late, and all the extra thought and goodies you put into the swap, you made up for it! It arrived on a gloomy, rainy day, thanks for bringing a smile to my face and reminding me that...yes we did! Thanks again!
Response: Thank you for your patience! It's been a VERY busy time around here and I wasn't pulling it all together. I'm glad you liked the extras and hoped they'd make up for my tardiness. Hearing they brought a smile to your face, brings a smile to mine, too. Thanks for being flexible!
