Hey, I'm an office manager at a social dance studio. I just got married June 28, 2008 (my husband makes me feel like sunshine). I’m originally from North Augusta SC (right across the river from Augusta GA, home of The Masters and James Brown) and moved to NC in 2007. I was raised by and married law enforcement, very proud of Daddy and my husband. We have two dogs (Feylan and Charlie) and two cats (Tink and Titus). I love being domestic and appreciate the ideas and roles of men and women of the 1950s (call me crazy).

My favorite colors are blue and green (aqua and clover); I love bright colors and patterns too. Our house is sort of a beach house decorated in a beachy eclectic style.

I like to wear clean scents...citrus or grass-y smells are my favorite. For my home I like warm scents like vanilla and cinnamon or summery scents like cotton or citrus.

My husband collects EVERYTHING (which just makes me more and more OCD).
Just to name a few...

• law enforcement patches or other LEO stuff
• knives
• flashlights
• pens

He loves:

• peanut butter

I would like to start sewing again. My grandmother taught me when I was little; she's amazing at it. I've made pillows and even a bag one time. he he

I'd like to try making inchies. It seems like a fun challenge to fit something super creative on a 1" square.

Quilting...never done it, but always wanted to. My great-grandmother was a quilter, back in the day when you made 'em to keep you warm, not just as a craft project.

Oil painting...I've always been interested but have never had the resources to take a class. I still hope to one day.

I like to reuse packaging (or even random, clever containers). It reduces waste, which is a great thing! Please PM if you prefer the fresh stuff.
