Favorite Music

I grew up on 80s music and listening to it can make me wax nostalgic. These days, I'm more mellow and like musicians that are under the radar.

Favorite Movies

I've a weakness for musicals (especially the Sound of Music), dancing flicks (Strictly Ballroom, Shall We Dance), foreign films (The Princess and the Warrior, Read My Lips, The Beat that My Heart Skipped) and classics (The Apartment, Roman Holiday, Citizen Kane). Okay, I'll give you the last one, it's luck if I can make it through it awake, but the camera angles!

Favorite Television

Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy. Old and deceased shows like Wonderfalls, Joan of Arcadia. Cooking shows, home rennovation shows.

Favorite Crafts

Easy crafts without a lot of little, meticulous attention to details (I can't cut a straight line to save my life!) I do well with templates and once I establish one, can go all out getting creative with it.

snip Fav swaps thus far have centered around music and paper crafts if it helps. I'm also something of a hoarder when it comes to stationery.

Please, no

...glitter.

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful reading log. Oh, I had no yearbook experience before I started. It's all been trial by fire. The internet is a wonderful resource though and hopefully the company you work with should have a contact person- mine has been wonderful this last year. Don't hesitate to msg me if you need anything.

Comment: Thank you for the very creative letter! Love the cover art - I love children's books but have too many other books I want to read, and our local library is a bit... crap. Anyway, thank you also for the cute bookmarks and extras. Those malaysian stamps are fantastic!

Comment: Your letter and teas were the best ever! Thank you so much for such a wonderful first swap! I loved the little origami rabbit, I used to make them all the time when I was little. :) I enjoyed the short story very much with my cup of tea, it reminds me of my family, being surrounded by brothers, haha! Thanks again! <3

Comment: Love the card, thanks. And....yes...you are a neighbor. How many times do we drive here & it's "not that far?" Besides, we measure distance in "how long it takes", not how miles it is. With traffic, miles are irrelevant. hahaha
