Stickers, except for chipboard and cardboard letter stickers. I have never been able to use and somewhat dislike bright, primary and neon colors. I am not too fond of anything with a floral scent, except for real flowers. :) I very rarely scrapbook and do not do too many themed ATC's, so I am not needing anything with the following themes: travel, baby, wedding, holiday (except for Christmas, Halloween and Valentine's Day), sports, diva/princess, boy, school. Brads or eyelets. Please, nothing offensive in nature. My daughters are in my artroom a lot and if you wouldn't want your young daughters to see it, you can bet that neither do I. :) Sorry, not into Disney, Anime or any other cartoon. I hope I don't sound too picky.

I am a married mother of three. (1 son-20 and 2 daughters-11 and 10). My son is in the Navy and my daughters are students in an art based charter school. My husband is a truck driver and I have worked in real estate for the past 7 1/2 years full time. I love the outdoors, hiking and camping. My pet peeve is overbearing, obnoxious people and those who are constantly trying to get into other people's business. I think I am the most introverted person I know. I prefer to be alone or with my family. There are so many people where I work and it's so busy and loud that I enjoy the solitude and peace of home and the outdoors. I have to have music on in my art room at all times. New Age is what I listen to 90% of the time. It's very calming and brings out my inner artist. I am very simple in my style, I would wear blue jeans, fitted t-shirts and my Doc Martens or Converse everyday if I could. I own about 20 pairs of slipper socks because they are the most comfortable things to wear ever made. I can't go to sleep without a fan on and my feet are never covered by blankets. I am as close to being OCD about cleaning w/o being OCD. I won't have a panic attack if my bed is not made before I leave for work...but I will make it as soon as I get home. :) My favorite place is my art room. It's small, but it's perfect for me and my daughters. I am a Catholic, but find beauty and wisdom in all religions.
