I'm so used to "speaking in tags" these days, I'll just do that here, too. My "tags" would be: Christian, SOUTHERN, right-brained, creative, manager/mini-partner of a scrapbooking retail store & online business, unique, shabby chic, vintage, cottage chic, farmhouse chic, digital scrapbooking, scrapbooking, mixed media, collage, assemblage, craft instructor, memory preservation, storybooking, artist, papercrafting, creativity, scrapbooker, blogging, funky, tiara-lovin', funny, mom, PhotoShop-addict, sparkly, glittery, animated, loving, well-loved, happy, content, grateful, positive, empathetic, forgetful, "afflicted with a ragin' case of Adult ADD", Gemini, scattered, unfocused, ENFP, "tolerated in spite of it all"... get the gist of it? LOL! :o)

Pretty much anything but Jazz. As of 0308, current favs are Leona Lewis, Sarah Burreillis, Kanye West, T-Pain, Brad Paisley, Jordin Sparks... Too many to mention really. ALL TIME FAVORITES are Rascal Flatts, Prince, Rob Bass, Salt N Peppa, Bush, Stone Temple Pilots... Love, Love, LOVE them!!! Music that EXCITES me in some way is what I like.

Just read Eat. Pray. Love. - yum! I really enjoyed that book!

I frequently read scrapbook business trade publications like I'm going to be TESTED on them (LOL!); read all the common scrapbooking and paper crafting mags; love idea books!!!!!!! Love ANYTHING published by Stampington & Co. (like Somerset Home, Somerset Memories, etc.)... Used to read LOTS of self-help and self-improvement until I figured out they were all alike and all a bunch of GARBAGE for the most part! Now the only self-help books I read are the Bible or anything by Norman Vincent Peale!!! :o)

Almost ANYTHING set in the South - Steel Magnolias, Hope Floats, Forrest Gump... and my ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE is Philadelphia Story starring the GREAT Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart and Carey Grant.

This one's easy. LOST, Mad TV, SNL & David Letterman.

Of course there are others... Dancing with the Stars, The Bachelor, So You Think You Can Dance, Deal or No Deal, American Idol (only the last 5 episodes of each season), ALL the ABC Network Soaps, Regis & Kelly, Good MOrning America (I have a HUGE crush on Chris Cuomo - it borderlines on unhealthy!)... Oh - and anything on HGTV. That's about it.

SCRAPBOOKING, PAPERCRAFTING, & DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING

• I dearly LOVE the color PINK!!!

• I've recently become oddly obsessed with "girly skulls", crowns, tiaras, and cupcakes! (Marah Johnson's paper line with Creative Imaginations is my FAVORITE!)

• I LOVE anything about London or the UK even tho' I've never been there.

• GLITTER makes me crazy-happy!

• I only wear XL t-shirts.

• I am completely freaked out by clowns.

• I LOVE all things vintage and Southern - even the house I live in is over 100 years old! Think rural South in the 1930's and 40's and you'll have a good idea about my decorating style.

• Even tho' I love vintage-y, antique-y, traditional things, I have PINK and blonde highlights in my brown hair and wear black film school glasses and black-and-white Chuck Taylor Converse tennis shoes a LOT. :o)

• I have a really strong twang-y, Southern, almost Hillbilly-esque accent; but I speak with (almost) flawless grammar and use a lot of $5 and $10 words many people don't understand because...

• I have always had a love of words and have built quite a large vocabulary over the years. I read dictionaries for FUN!
