A bag of clothes to donate, a piece of something that *might* belong to my car, and my “laundry bag” for the dry cleaner (empty).
What’s the strangest listing in the directory of your cell phone?
“DNA” – stands for “do not answer” – it’s what I code any guy I’m no longer dating so I’m not tempted to answer when they call!
Name the top 5 musicians/groups you have been listening to lately.

Entourage, Big Love, Flight of the Conchords, John from Cincinnati, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, How I Met Your Mother, Desperate Housewives.
Describe your favorite shoes.
Black Cole-Haan stiletto slingbacks – they are suede with patent straps. I hated them when the saleslady brought them out to me and refused to try them on. She insisted and I’m glad she did – I could take on the WORLD in those shoes! They have been to repair three times now – and I will be heartbroken if they ever die!
Describe your purse.
At the moment, I’m carrying a tiffany blue Coach bucket bag – but I own 50 to 60 handbags so I swap out frequently.
Do you cook? What’s your specialty?

Peanut butter and
honey and bacon – don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
What’s your favorite weather?
Crisp cool autumn mornings that warm up to comfortable afternoons.

Bali, Indonesia… it’s the perfect escape!

If I don’t set my alarm I wake up…
Around 7 am no matter what time I went to bed.

Who’s your favorite “professional” crafter & why?
I adore Teesha and Tracy Moore. It was a class with Tracy in 2000 where everything just “clicked” for me artistically – and I’ve got every issue of every ‘zine that Teesha has ever published. I wouldn’t be in this industry if it weren’t for the inspiration they have given me.
Who do you consider “responsible” for getting you started scrapbooking?
My mom – she brought home a bunch of supplies one day and said “here, you might like these” – it took me a while to get hooked (try years) but I rediscovered it one day while looking for supplies for my altered art and got hooked in once I realized that the “rules” were no longer there.
