I grew up on 80s music and listening to it can make me wax nostalgic. These days, I'm more mellow and like musicians that are under the radar.

I've a weakness for musicals (especially the Sound of Music), dancing flicks (Strictly Ballroom, Shall We Dance), foreign films (The Princess and the Warrior, Read My Lips, The Beat that My Heart Skipped) and classics (The Apartment, Roman Holiday, Citizen Kane). Okay, I'll give you the last one, it's luck if I can make it through it awake, but the camera angles!

Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy. Old and deceased shows like Wonderfalls, Joan of Arcadia. Cooking shows, home rennovation shows.

Easy crafts without a lot of little, meticulous attention to details (I can't cut a straight line to save my life!) I do well with templates and once I establish one, can go all out getting creative with it.

snip Fav swaps thus far have centered around music and paper crafts if it helps. I'm also something of a hoarder when it comes to stationery.
