About Me

Hey There ♥ first of all, I always think outSide of the box!! I love to use the unusual to deSign unique stuff. I am aging gracefully & enJOYing life putting my creatiVity to use any way I can. My passions [concerning crafting] are scrapbooking & jewlery making. I LOVE to comBine the two. I preFer rustic to bright anyDay!! I preFer oLd to new aLways. I'm not a real matchy matchy type either. I'm married--raised 4 boys--loVe to visit with friends & share a pot of coFFee. I've crafted all my liFe but have neVer concentrated on one craft. Guess I'm a maSter of none, but I do my beSt with all.
PleaSe aLways conTact me if you don't reCeive your pacKage beCause I'm usually prompt in maiLing.
If you don't reCeive a raTing from me it's beCauSe I haVen't reCeived anyThing yet!!
Don't eVer be aFraid to conTact me about anyThing!

Favorite Books

SinCe I'm a Born Again ChrisTian, I loVe reaDing & stuDying the Bible & haVe many {many} books by JoyCe Meyer & other authors. I've reCently disCovered the Message Bible --- such easy reading that at times I can't put it down for hours. I also enjoy craft books[if only to look at the pictures to get my creaTive juices floWing.] Country magazines fill nooks in every room in my home. I love reLaXing with a cup of coffee & a magazine!! I dream of living in one of those country homes some day!

Favorite Crafts

I love scrapBooking & jewelry making at the moment! I crocheted most of my Christmas gifts this year tho. When I was younger, I enJOYed cross-stitch but the olDer I get it's just too hard to SEE. Distressing is the name of the game for me. I do prefer OLD STUFF, thereFore I usually make things look as tho they were old. I started collecting rusty stuff many years ago--[everyOne thought that I'd lost my mind]--toDay lots of folks love rusty stuff..♥..I love, love aLtering stuff like books, gamePieCes etc. Jewelry making has been a passion for a couPle of years & I do enJOY collecting beads & charms etc. [anything to do with jewlery making is fanTasTic]

LiKes & DisLiKes

Guess I should tell a little more about what I like cuzz I find it much easier when I know about the perSon I'm crafting for. I don't really like BRIGHT colors--I am a more neutral person [earth tones to be eXact. I'm not a modern gal at all!! I do like some BLING when it comes to some jewlry but am so sporty (sorta) that I seldom dress up. I have Pandora jewelry so I wear the dominoes & scrabble tile jewelry I create most of the time. I'm not a fan of scarey stuff--nothing halloweenish--nothing rockerish[?]--nothing gorey or bloody--no vampires etc. But I do love the fall & all thoSe colors!!! I also enJOY journaling & decorating each page with alphabet letters & stickers that suit the situation of the day. Really like to go camping, collect OLD coke stuff, LoVe stars!

Favorite books: BiBle, JoyCe Meyer,stuDy heLps

Favorite scent: "Too many to liSt Ha!" muLBerry, cinnamin, jasmin, etc.[love candles] [loVe oils]

Favorite store: Hobby Lobby, WalMart, Dollar General

Favorite color: LoVe all the FALL coLors

Favorite season: Fall

Favorite holiday: EasTer

AmazonLife on May 11, 2011:

Hey there! I have just rechecked, and unfortunately, I have not received your cards yet... I tend to wait quite a lot to rate a 1, because I know things tend to take quite a long time to get both from Brazil to other places and from other places to Brazil, and it sort of annoys me that people are so quick to rate me a 1 because of that... So that's why you still haven't heard from me; I was mostly still waiting for it. But yeah, if you mailed them by March 3rd, I'd say it probably got lost in the mail... :/
