Trivia

My hobbies (addictions? obsessions?) are reading, journaling, crafting, and learning new stuff.

When I have a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, I crave dessert.

I love Scrabble, chocolate cake, symmetry, fountain pens, containers, and fresh-squeezed lemonade.

Home

My house is fifteen miles from the beach and just ten miles away from my childhood home, (though I lived far, far away for a long time.) It's small-town America, where downtown is a four-block stretch of Main Street and there's always room for another beribboned dog in the parade.

Creativity

papercrafts (cards/ATCs/postcards)
journals/journaling/correspondence
altered, upcycled & repurposed objects

(See photos on Flickr.)

Books

I read at least two books a week and way too many magazines. I have To-Be-Read stashes all over the house.

Check out my bookshelves on GoodReads or photos of my actual bookshelves.

I trade books on Swaptree, BookMooch and PaperBackSwap.

Comment: It's fun that you're getting your craft on! It's always good to flex those creative muscles, and sometimes a challenge is just what a person needs. I'm sorry to hear that the job search is still slow going. Hopefully he'll have some work soon. It's so cool that you go surfing! That's something I'd like to learn how to do someday. Thanks for the fun mail, and I liked the pen! :)

Comment: Thanks for the ATCs :) For some reason, maybe because I'm obsessed with video games, I didn't even think of board games and card games, haha.

Hi! I see that you like matchboxes so I wanted to invite you to join my new group matchbox & more. It's mostly about matchboxes of various kinds but there are some other kinds of swaps (such as whimsy jars & lucky parcels). I hope you'll come be a part of the fun! Thanks!
