To Jenn's Secret Santa...she says she'll try to get to it, but she has been too busy catching up with six years of Monarch of the Glen. (tee-hee) Anyway, here is the hint list from last year:

1. what is your age range? I'm 57. A young 57. I think.

2. gender? female

3. Do you have a favorite color?several. Blues, rusts and greens, darker rather than lighter.

4. favorite authors/ type of book? Mostly I go to the library a lot, but see below. I like mysteries and fantasies.

5. what books have you really been wanting? A local cookbook or songbook or any knitting or beading pamphlet or mag would be enjoyed.

6. what type of music do you like? Most folk, but especially patter songs, humor, stories with a twist.

7. what cds have you really been wanting? None, thank you (unless you have a terrific inspiration or record music yourself). The other mudcatter in this house does a great job of choosing and playing the music here.

8. What movies (vhs is in the price range) have you been wanting? Also none, thank you.

9. what is your t-shirt size? Medium

10. do you collect anything? if so, what? Armadillos!?! Yarn for knitting (Much preferred to armadillos) or a length of cloth for sewing or beads for beading. You should see this collection! I have my own junk room! (Most people have a drawer.)

11. what are some of your other hobbies? Well, I guess I told that one above, huh? Also bike riding and folkdancing.

12. do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? Silver, hands down. Generally I wear pierced earrings, rarely any other jewelry.

13. please include anything else you feel is important that would help your secret santa know what you would like. Something of your craft or from your locale would be delightful.
