I love to read! Throw me anything on paper and I'm in heaven. Newspapers, paperbacks, heck, I'm even into scraps of paper. Pure paper = pure love. But be warned, I'm not into glittery things, like sparkly cards or flashy, foil wrappings. Oh, and gross alert...keep dirty paper away from me, like kleenex, paper towel and stinky old milk cartons. I am a princess after all! And don't hold your breath if you ask me to go out for coffee, those paper cups are no way to enjoy a brew! I'll tell you a secret...for me, it's not just about what's on the surface of the page--I see the potential in the fibre :)

Printsez Blue FYI

A bit of advice: I like to stay in shape by not getting overstuffed, it’s pretty simple really.

Best invention: it’s a tie between corrugated cardboard and paper bags

Fave Cause: saving trees…17 to be exact, for every time a ton of newsprint gets recycled. Cool, eh?

Likes: to have my hair tied in a pretty bow whenever I go out

Dislikes: wrapping paper (tacky!), leftover pizza boxes and hard covers on books…just the reading material please!

Pet Peeve: books with coil bindings…I could do without the coil

Future Goals: to help others evolve. I find hope in the fact that even newspaper can become other things, like insulation, egg cartons and even kitty litter; I just want to do my part to make things better
