Autmbrz

Hello, My name is Diana and I live in Upstate New York (Catskill mountains). I have a boyfriend of 4 years, his name is Jack. I have a daughter that is 18 (sometimes a handful) :-) I love animals, crafting, cooking, kayaking, hiking, reading, lazing around drinking unsweetened ice tea on a hot day, sitting by the fireplace sipping a small glass of amaretto writing lyrics, thunderstorms, the smell of lilacs and lily of the valley. I love searching thrift shops, antique shops and flea markets, and tag sales for treasures to make my projects. I love treasure hunting. Autumn is my favorite season.

I am a singer, song writer. I love so many genres of music. I go out and gig with my boyfriend Jack. He is a great musician. We have more than enough originals for a couple of cd's. Hopefully, we will be going to the studio in the springtime. I love blues, old country, folksy music, americana, good old fashioned rock n' roll. Some of my favorite artists are Townes Van Zandt, Lucinda Williams, Barbara Lynn,Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Solomon Burke and so many more. I could go on forever and ever.

I like John Saul books. I also like those kind of books that keep you on the edge of your seat. Suspense and intrigue. I love vintage illustrated children's books. I also love illustrated fairy tale books. I love altered art books. Cookbooks. I don't like sappy romance novels.

My all time favorite movie is Overboard. I must of watched that a dozen times. A Walk In The Clouds, Under The Tuscan Sun, Where The Heart Is. I love holiday movies. I love feel good movies.

I love twilight zone, outer limits, alfred hitchcock... I know those are all old but I just love them. I just finished watching the series Jericho on my Roku from Netfix, really wish it didn't end. I love HGTV.. watch it all the time. Love getting all those tips. Food Network.

Ok where do I start. I love all sorts of crafts. My favorites are altered art projects, I love taking something that would be a toss out for most folks and giving it new life and beauty. I like to make shrines. Paper projects. Scrapbooking, Decoupage. I love my cricut. Beading, Jewelry making, painting, drawing, and my newest obsession (inchies). Like I told you I could go on forever. Must be because I am a Gemini.
