I’m Carissa and I live in sunny Colorado with my husband, 7 yo son, and 15 yo kitty. I’m a domestic engineer with Bipolar II. My favorite holiday is Halloween with an emphasis on the 1950s era.
While I enjoy profanity, my son is now reading and it’s probably not a good idea to have it.
Any glitter needs to be affixed so it does not leave the surface. My husband despises glitter. Christmas cards are a rough time for him.
I actually don’t like Halloween puns, but I DO love Valentine puns. Weird, right?
Other than all that, I don’t have allergies.
