I work full time. I live in MD and commute to DC. I am an attorney by trade (don’t hold it against me), but my current work is not as an attorney even if it’s related to the Law. I have two kids, a 14 year old daughter and a 7 year old son. They keep me very busy. I am always looking for creative outlets and I consider myself a multi-crafter. I am bilingual in English and Spanish.

I am a newbie and learning about this site. If you receive a swap from me, and you are not satisfied, let me know. I will be happy to try again.

I love music and like most types of music, rock, alternative, pop, dance, hard rock, and classical too. Right now, I enjoy Florence and the Machine, Ed Sheeran and Jason Mraz. I like meaningful lyrics, most times regardless of the type of music.

I like to read to learn so I read mostly nonfiction books right now.

Action, comedies, romantic comedies, good animated films, Miyazaki films

Mozart in the Jungle, Big Bang, Lucifer, Grimm, Blackish, RuPaul’s Drag Race, The Blacklist

My favorite crafts right now are crochet, Smash books, making fauxdoris and notebooks/inserts for them. I like rubber stamping, but even though I have a big collection of stamps I don’t always have the time to use them. I have been doing origami since I was twelve, and I consider myself an intermediate folder. I like drawing and would like to make more time for that. I also want to journal more consistently.

Stickers especially if they can be used in calendars or planners, washi tape, small notebooks (Moleskine, Field Notes size), pens, sticky notes, making lists, drawing, Japanese origami paper, books about getting organized, travelers’ notebooks, coffee, chocolates, good/happy mail, doughnuts, positive quotes, colored pencils, Mexicana like Milagros or Dia de los Muertos, Filofax and planners

Blank notecards because I have too many of them, baby themed paper or stickers, post cards, reward stickers, cute erasers, Victorian era designs
