Canada! How fun! I thought about that before. I want to live out of the country, just because and then come back, lol.

I love video games too! I have a Wii, my husband an Xbox + Kinect. So are game nights are super intense, lmao!

I'm Gena and I'm from southern California. Born and raised here, but went to Florida for college. Grew up in the San Fernando Valley, now I'm in orange County. Hoping to move up to Portland one of these years.

For fun I have game nights with friends, try new restaurants, read, bake new recipes, and try to take a random class every once in awhile. Wow I sound 45. Not that that's BAD, just...I'm 27. :)

[Former_Member]

Hahaha, you don't sound 45 Gena! I'm 24 and like some of the same things!!

HI...I'm Jessica.

Born and raised: Michigan
Now: Live in Colorado via a short detour in Vermont...:)

For fun, I love my fur babies (2 cats and a dog), my husband and I love road trips all over the southwest...there's something so freeing about a road trip, cooking and baking, gardening (hurry up Spring), and dreaming of this becoming my day job...

Hello all! I am Katie, from London UK. Born and raised there.

I am 24 years old, 5'9 and a natural redhead. And I love being a redhead!

What I do for fun; well, I play computer games, a lot. I own a PS3, 360 and a Wii. Currently playing skyrim. I love watching Formula 1 and cannot wait for the next season to start. I also like watching rugby. I visit art galleries and museums regulary and constantly making something. I have a degree in Design, and thought I may as well sell my creations, thats why I am here! Still very early days yet. I am hoping to become a teacher and teach textiles and graphics.

I own too many bags & shoes......

[Former_Member]

Jessica, LOVE road trips! I use to do them all the time when I was still out west. I miss it. = (

@Katie, lol. My husband plays Skyrim too. = D Since I've started my business, my husband has surpassed me in shoes owned since I am on a strict budget. How embarassing! Husband owning more shoes!

Hi - I'm Terri - I live in the Sunshine state of Florida - close to the ocean but was raised in New York State.

I'm a bit older than some of you but I've earned every wrinkle I have. You can guess my age - I'm not tellin'.

When I'm not making jewelry I love to play tennis. I also love horses and hate housework.

[Former_Member]

@ Terri, welcome! I hate house work too. But I hate mess. I am always in a dilema.

@Jacque & erica My boyfriend now has more cothes than me! But then again it isn't a bad thing. Less time wasted deciding what to wear!

[Former_Member]

@Terri, I have been to florida twice. First time was in Kissimee?? Can't remember if I spelt that right. I stayed in a lovely villa for two weeks and did the disney thing. Was amazing.

second time was acually in the disney resort. Very lucky! :)

[Former_Member]

I want to go to Disney World! = ( I've been to Disneyland plenty of times living in Southern California, but never made it to Disney World!

[Former_Member]

I have been to disneyland paris, not a touch on disney world. It is truely amazing, no matter what age you're. It is a dream holiday.

[Untwistedsister]

I'm about an hour from DisneyWorld. Went to Disneyland in Calif. when I was 13. There is so much to do in Orlando now. If you go make reservations and see the Cirque du Soleil. Sit in the second tier so you don't have to look up to see the show.

[Untwistedsister]

Another really kewl thing to do in Florida that's not too far from Disney is Forever Florida which is a santuary where they have kept the land natural and also have descendants of the original cattle and horses brought over by Ponce deLeon. They have website - you can ride the horses or do a zipline or see it by swamp bus. There's also a wonderful zoo in Melbourne - 10 minutes from the beach....Brevard Zoo.

[Former_Member]

Oh wow! Nice! I need a vacation ASAP!

[Former_Member]

I remember going to quite a few places in Florida, forgive me if I forget names and spelling. My first trip was when I was 15 years old, and the whole family went. Amazing holiday! We went to 'wonder works' which was this upside down building science place. And my mum went on the earthquake machine. I never laughed so much in my life. My mum is of a nervous despostion and quite large... hilarious! We also went to a titanic exhibtion, a medieval knight resturant show.. can't remember what it was called, we also did a tour on the marshes searching for allegators on a hover craft...

For fun; day trips in the car with the camera's in the boot :D I also play the Sims way too much, waddle around the house getting bigger and bigger... i'm 35 weeks pregnant with our first bub (a girl!), cook/bake a lot, and I love to get out and socialise as much as humanly possible!

Hi y'all

I'm Andi, mom of 4 girls with my liver surprisingly intact.

I was born in Washington DC grew up as a Beltway Brat and lived in southwestern VA in Appalachia in my teenage years. Back to DC and have lived in Illinois twice now. Currently in the small town my husband where my husband grew up.

For fun? Hmmm. I am an avid reader, I knit, and I volunteer. Like a lot. Probably too much. Opened the shop as a creative outlet and am actually moving out of my kitchen lab and into a B&M office space tomorrow! WhooHOOO!

Oh and I have a rabid interest in Australia and Scotland. Almost spent a year in Oz in college but sadly didnt get there. Sigh. Someday..

[Former_Member]

That's wonderful & exciting Andi!! Welcome to the team! I would love to visit both places, I know they are so beautiful!
