I love my Chihuahua Abigail Raine (Abby), scrapbooking, embroidery & other crafts. I love bright, cheerful colors but also reds, blacks, etc. I pretty much love anything cute & fun! I am a graphic designer & look for artistic inspiration everywhere...sometimes in the oddest places.

Pretty craft paper & stationery 7. Monkeys, Gnomes, Mushrooms, Goats, Hedgehogs & other quirky things 8. Paper Lanterns 9. Jewelry (love funky earrings & necklaces especially) 10. Vintage Items (old decorative plates, hankerchiefs, books, ephemera, etc.) *Everything I feature on my blog, Funky Finds, are things I would love to own!

I also like fitted tees, Postcards, Coffee & tea, Ephemera, Antique type things, Rubber & clear acrylic stamps, Cherry blossoms, gum & candy, pampering goodies (nail polish, hair accessories, handmade soaps, etc.), the smell of mint.

Scrapbooking: I love to receive scrapbooking supplies. Things I frequently scrapbook include my chihuahua Abby, my family, trips I take with my boyfriend, sports (my sister plays basketball & my brother plays football).

Cardmaking: I love paper! I also appreciate antique ephemera bits.

Embroidery: I have really enjoyed embroidery since I learned how to do it months ago. I love to receive iron-on patterns & thread.

Sewing: I own a machine & know the basics, but I am not very good. I admire those who are so talented at sewing!

Crochet: I would love to learn how to Amigurumi, but currently I don't know a thing about it nor do I have any supplies.
