*Just a quick note to say that if you are my partner for the back to school swap, I joined it for my daughter. She is 12, almost 13 and will be going into the 7th grade in August. If you want more info about her, please just email me! Thanks!

I am a 34 yr. old stay at home mom. I have 2 daughters, 14 &12. They keep me VERY busy. But I love to spend all my extra moments making crafts. I love all kinds of crafts but my true love is with paper arts, collage and assemblage--altered arts. I am working on opening an ebay shop in which I sell supplies and vintage collage items. While I have lived all over the US, I have been living in TN for the past 10 years and love it here. I also love to read and shop. I LOVE antique shops, flea markets, estate sales and yard sales. Most every Friday through spring and summer I can be found doing just that! ;0) I love pretty things, and like everything to be pretty. I'm completely smitten with the shabby chic style. Everything I do, I try to make it pretty...from storage containers in my studio to paper plates we eat off of. My favorite color is that perfect shade of pale aqua blue..and pink. I keep those colors of paint on hand, as I am forever buying things and painting them! I also love white, and pale yellow. I love to decorate and love changing around things in my home. Also love decorating books and magazines... Oh, and speaking of magazines. I am a magazine junkie. Really. I collect ephemera of all sorts, and I adore the illustrations of the 30's and 40's. Love all things vintage, especially from the 20's-50's.

I love all kinds of music...hard to pick a favorite. I love everthing from Percy Sledge to Metallica..and so many in between!

That's easier to pick a favorite! Ü Pride and Prejudice, Beautiful Minds, When A Man Loves a Woman, and many others. I love movies! Funny, that my favorite movies and not my favorite kind of movie to watch! I mostly love scarry movies, LOL.

Law and Order SVU, Criminal Minds, Survivor, CSI, Without a Trace.

Paper arts and altered arts are first for me. Love rubber stamps! I also like to sew--but only know how to do simple sewing to make dolls and stuffies and such. I really like all kinds of crafts!
