ThinkingofBlue

I'm Krissy. I run the special education program at a 7th-12th grade school. I also own a photography company and an online college brand consulting company.

I grew up in Northern California and followed love which led me to Arizona in 2014. I'm recently engaged (August 2017) to a beautiful woman and proposed in her parent's backyard with a song I wrote on my ukulele.

My favorite things are the things that are handmade! Anything you make, draw or create, I am sure to love!

Vivid colors, rainbows, butterflies, dandelions, glitter, letters and anything and everything that is bright, bold and happy.

I love trees, forests and magical creatures.

I also love things that are in other languages or are from other cultures. I love learning about people around the world.

I love history and enjoy watching documentaries in my spare time (what little I have of it).

Reading and writing allow me to escape into other worlds, which I often take advantage of. I particularly love poetry, realistic fiction, nonfiction and fantasy.

Some of my all time favorite series are:

-Sabriel

-His Dark Materials

-Harry Potter

My favorite authors include:

-Torey Hayden

-Wayne Dyer

-Brene Brown

My favorite movies include:

-Anything with Tina Fey

-Star Wars

-Pitch Perfect

-Harry Potter

-Romantic Comedies

To unwind, I enjoy trying new craft techniques and doing zentangles.

I am also a Netflix afficianado. My favorite shows are typically sci-fi (Lost Girl and Firefly), filled with comfort characters (Gilmore Girls and Friends) and crime/detective shows (SVU, Quantico and Life).

I do many holiday swaps each year! I love anything that sparkles and cards that are written in non-English languages! I had someone ask, so I should probably include that all of our decorations are red, white, or silver including the ornaments on our tree. I’m totally open to things that are other colors as well though. I also love snowflakes!
