I'm claiming TheManicCrafter for an herbs hoop!

This is my third claim (3,0,0) send by 4/15

My name is Julie, and I live near Dallas, Texas, but I'm originally from the Chicago area and I miss it terribly. I'm a 5th grade teacher. I married my best friend last June and we live in an apartment with our amazing cat, Sadie. I'm just starting my hoopla collection, but I'm already addicted! My favorite colors are earth tones, metallics (especially gold), and jewel tones. Please, no profanity/nudity/"dark/freaky" themes.

My themes:
owls
gnomes
dala horse
the letter J
vegetables (especially beets)
hunger games
maps
old timey school (think one-room schoolhouse, chalkboards, etc.)
the quote "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." - Albert Einstein
bluebonnets (flower)
This American Life (radio show)
anything from my Pinterest - I have a hoopla board, but feel free to explore the others as well!

This makes me 4/2/1

I'm Cindy and I live in Alberta, Canada.  I love bright colors (except mint green and baby blue) but I also like dark purple, dark blue and dark green.  I prefer solid backgrounds for my hoops rather than a busy material as I like the work to really stand out.  Please don't send me anything with profanity or nudity.

My themes:

      - Mr. Potatoe Head (example, for inspiration, on my hoops board on Pinterest)
      - Tulips, marigolds or sunflowers
      - Fancy hearts
      - snowmen
      - Old sewing machines
      - Old telephones
      - Old typewriters
      - anything from my hoop board on Pinterest - here's the link
      - Winnie the Pooh
      - Ukrainian Easter Eggs

Hello! I'm amalgam, 20 something years old and I live in Missouri. I'm living the single life in my little apartmart as I try to declutter from the past 15 years of my life. I work for a government contractor,but I have a Bachelor's in Theatre and Video which I haven't gotten to use yet and I'm really trying to hurry up and figure out what I'm going to do with my life. My profile gives a pretty good overview of my likes and dislikes. My Wist is outdated but relevant and I have tons of stuff on Pinterest, so there's plenty to get inspiration from.


Themes:

*French Knot surprise
*Geometric Shapes
*Button Tree
*Steampunk
*Yotsuba&!
*Pinterest/Wist inspired (if you choose this, please ignore the Fitness Motivation board)
*Based on Craftster's "Justifying Your Hoarding Instincts"
*Super Fancy Pusheen--http://laughingsquid.com/pusheen-the-adorable-bouncy-cat-from-everyday-cute/

My name is Carey, 35, and I live in Palmer Alaska.  I am a Registered Nurse and work an hour away in Anchorage.  I am originally from Northwestern Wisconsin.  I have two darling teen daughters ages 13 and 14, and a hubby who is going back to school for engineering.  We have a awesome dog Buddy, rescued American Cocker Spaniel and two individual black cats, Harley and Gypsi.  We love the outdoors, camping, fishing, hiking.  I am a earthy, hippiesque person who loves to garden, recycle, compost and the like.  I am pretty ecclectic but don't care to receive political or religious items. Fave colors are purple/blue/green, silvers.  Though I am ok with profanity and nudity, we have a slew of other kids in and out of our house, so no need to traumatize them! lol  I want to decorate my different areas in my house besides a HOOPLA wall, see in themes below:
