Biking or walking outdoors...I love to observe nature and get some great exercise at the same time. Getting a little wet and muddy is just proof that I had a great time. To see the flowers bloom in their season, watch birds and animals (even bugs) and just be around trees and water gives me great joy.

Cooking...It's a rare day when I don't cook something from scratch. When I'm away on vacation, I miss my kitchen. I have fun making things like bread, yogurt or candy. It's very interesting to try recipes from other countries or try new things with vegetables from my garden.

Reading...I spend a ridiculous amount of time reading. I like to read a bit of everything, but I am most delighted by classic English literature, fantasy fiction and mysteries. Just being inside a library makes me feel happy.

Realistic animals, birds, nests, eggs, trees, wildflowers, all flowers, fairies, kitties.

I like all colors.

Ginger, lemon, mint, dark chocolate. Indian food. Roasted vegetables. Fresh herbs. Homemade bread. Trying new recipes.

Mailboxes, real stamps, snail mail, stickers, stationery, notecards.

British things, such as British words and phrases, books and movies that take place in England, the Union Jack (I'd like to visit England someday)

Tea (black, green, herbal, plain, flavored, I love them all), teacups, teapots, tea parties.

I love handmade, love doodles, love mail art.

I'm pretty easy going, but I'm not into sports. I'd rather food/tea were in factory sealed packages. I do not use scrapbooking items or planner pages.

I LOVE crocheting! It keeps me patient when I'm waiting or forced to sit still.

I like cross-stitch, making friendship bracelets with embroidery thread, knitting and sewing felt crafts by hand.

I love writing letters and doing mail art! I like using stickers and washi.

I'd like to try beading/jewelry making.
