About Me

Could it be?! The Sampler has a myspace?!
The Sampler is a wee business trying to market and promote other small, independent businesses by sending out samples of their work to other businesses, potential customers and members of the media! It's pretty fun and super awesome and somehow it'll be three years old this August! Who woulda figured?
You can see what's shakin' over at the website www.homeofthesampler.com -- where you'll find links to 100s of independent crafters, artists and designers. There's some fun stuff to entertain yourself with and plenty to see and click!
oh... the Sampler has a flickr account: Sampler on Flickr but a bunch of Marie's personal photos are in there too, that Marie chick? Whatever. But, you didn't hear it from me.
the Sampler even has a A Frappr Map!

Janice made this page pretty!

My Interests

crafts, crafting, glue guns, DIY, samples, indie pop, pretty things, cute things, fun things, good times, drinking water is pretty sweet, candy, video games, zines, blogs, blogging, pretty colors, flickr, photos, tuneless humming, skipping, juggling, glitter, sparkles, patches, badges, pins, buttons, brooches, this that and so much more, how the mail hates me, how the mail loves me, why snails are trying to kill me, promoting little businesses like my own, yarn, spinning, felt, felting, felting needles, not stabbing myself with felting needles, really well-packaged samples, scented samples that are double-bagged, totally rad rad rad stuff, long lists of unrelated things, the weather, trees, flowers, things that smell good, things that don't smell bad, blankets, pillows, bedding in general, small furry animals, basket weaving, swimming, sleeping, desserts, short stories, fairy tales, scary stories, happy endings, skipping, jumping, meeting people, shaking hands, my dog, hot tea, iced tea, really amazing staplers, those little cards from Moo, when my camera's battery is charged, updating myspace, learning something new every day.

I'd like to meet:

People who are nice. I like it when people are nice. I prefer it to when people are mean. Although, sometimes when I watch movies, the mean guy who always scolds the heroine turns out to be a really awesome guy. Then the heroine falls in love with him. Maybe he had a really rough childhood or society prevented him from acting on his true feelings and he only gave the appearance of being mean, when, truly, he was quite fantastic. So, actually, maybe mean people are alright, too. It depends on the context.
