About Me


My husband and I live in beautiful semi-rural Sussex County, NJ. We live amongst our collections (well, my collections take up most of our space, but he's also a collector and enjoys them too). I am an avid toy collector. My greatest challenge and amusement comes from figuring out where I will display all the things I collect, in ever changing, interesting and fun ways. I am always on the look out for cool things that may enrich and enhance my toys' living experience.
We have a cat named Cuddles and a dog named Splenda.
We also had the honor of getting to know a stray pearl guinea rooster, that for a few years lived mostly on our porch and roof, since we started feeding him dry cat food to help get him through the harsh winters. He pretty much adopted us as his family haha. He was just too frigging cool for words. He met his demise one stormy, hot July day while dangerously spending time in the street, though we begged him to stay out of the road. I will miss him forever. I love you my fabulous feathered friend. Rest in peace.
I also recently found out we have a local bigfoot, which I believe we have actually heard awhile back. I really don't care to ever see the bigfoot, but hearing it is awesome. I love living in the country!

My Interests



I collect many things, mainly Ty, Boyds, Gund Snuffles bears, M and Ms stuff, Hershey's stuff, Gingerbread People (they're so sweet and spicy!), lots of other stuffed toys and I love any kind of food advertising items.

I am addicted to garage sales, rummage sales, thrift stores, consignment shops and anywhere else where I can feed my collecting habits cheaply.

I also like to crochet and knit, plus I enjoy other crafts as well. Yep, real exciting stuff here haha.

Even though I feel that pictures never do it any justice, seeing as how my work is very textural and often three dimensional, here's a few pics of some of my custom designed handiwork:

I'd like to meet:

Movies:

I finally saw Toy Story 2 and think it was one of the best movies ever made. I laughed, I cried. They left out the part where the toys get to come live here and really fully enjoy the good life. Yep, my toys have better furniture than I do for myself haha. Anyhow, I like mostly kids' movies, anything animated or with animals in it always grabs my attention haha.

Television:



My favorite shows are Avatar The Last Airbender (on Nickelodeon) and the new show Storm Chasers (on the Discovery Channel and Science Channel). Human Weapon (on the History Channel) is a very interesting show as well. I also like to watch SpongeBob, old sitcoms and old cartoons. I am addicted to the Weather Channel's "Local on the 8s". I tend to listen to TV as I do other stuff, like crochet and craft. In general my fave channels are the History Channels, Food Network, National Geographic Channel, Travel Channel or Discovery Channels, Science Channel and other stuff like that. Like I said, real exciting stuff here haha.

Books:

Here's some of my faves:
