I envy anyone who can summarize themself in one sentence. Ya know, "I'm __ and I ____". I wish I were that simple. Or had myself figured out that well, I guess I should say. The best I can do is this:

I'm Julie. I'm 26 and live in Southern California. I'm an artist of sorts, I guess you could say. I'm always up to something creative. I work as a Photo Retoucher. Freelance and I wouldn't have it any other way! In my spare time, I design toys and I've made a business out of selling the patterns so that anyone can make them. I also collect toys like a crazy person :P

I'm just an all around creative, artsy, crafty person. Mostly, I crochet, knit, and sew. Other than that, I'm madly in love with music. Ska, to be more specific :) I can spend hours searching the internet for new music. I also love doing just about anything that will get me out of the house! I skateboard & snowboard. I'm highly amused by photography, probably due to working in the industry for 6 years.

I'm painfully shy. But when I'm not, I'm really perky, quirky, sarcastic, and smartassed. I'm insecure, indecisive, and always evolving. I do my share of ranting and whining here. But I attempt to counteract it by doing my share of happy, inspiring posts as well.
