StineBean

My name is Christine and I live in Beaverton, Oregon. I live with my husband, stepdaughter and fluffy cat named Nessa. I enjoy traveling, volunteering, baking, reading, crafting, hiking, eating out, listening to music (mostly indie and alternative). I love spending time outdoors and am particularly fond of forests and mountains as I am from Colorado originally.

Mostly indie and alternative music. Some of my favorite artists are Radical Face, Tegan and Sara, Santigold, Arcade Fire, Foo Fighters, M.I.A., Of Monsters and Men, Regina Spektor, Rue Royale, Sia, Silversun Pickups, Stars, Adele, and Cloud Cult.

I really like making my own cards. I typically make them using stamps or found bits from magazines. I also like doing linocuts, however I'm still quite new to it. My favorite craft items include washi tape, rubber stamps, stickers, postcards, specialty paper, Micron pens, Cocoiro pens, and any type of mail art.

I particularly enjoy Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Silicon Valley, Broad City, Last Man on Earth and Peep Show. They're all hilarious. I also like Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black, and many of the shows on the new Viceland network.

Cats, owls, dogs, foxes, bears, hedgehogs, walruses, llamas, deer, doves, moose, raccoons, giraffes, and whales

I collect an assortment of little things that includes sea glass, seashells, smooth little stones (like you often find on the beach), vintage postcards, and postcards with any type of art on them. I'm also always on the look out for new types of pens.

I am very fond of teal and purple

I don't have much in the way of dislikes but I suppose a few things come to mind. I don't really like items having to do with religion or astrology. I also don't like anything violent or having to do with firearms.

-I love getting stickers that especially include things like animals, designs, and trees/floral. -I like magazine clippings of pretty art or photographs. I often use these to collage -I like just about any type of tea. -Notecards of just about any kind. -Letter writing paper as I have several pen pals -I send a lot of postcards as well. As mentioned about I love vintage postcards and ones with any type of design or art on them especially. I also like ones with a nice photograph. Tourist ones are okay as well. -I like just about anything related to the forest and mountains
