Profile for LifesAnExpedition

I'm dj runnels, bohemian fiber artist, former ad writer/creative director. In the uncertain months after 9/11, I was a freelance writer but that was a rough time. Then one day I realized, "Hey! I could be an artist and making just as little money, or maybe even less!" So I set up Life's an Expedition, did the art show circuit, then set up shop online. I became a powerseller on eBay, then branched off into Etsy and Artfire. I eat, think, sleep, paint, write and ruminate all things creative. Until somebody finally stops me.

Great Feedback from Etsy, Artfire, Zibbet, eBay

More yarn from the yarn queen!!! This is soooo much prettier in person, with the different yarns and threads incorporated into this. dj has such an eye for colour and texture. That could be why over the last several years I've purchased AT LEAST 75 different kinds and colours of yarn from the queen! thanks dj! ... Honest seller with a wicked funny sense of humor! I really like this woman's yarn, and her yarns are the major part of my huge yarn stash! Buy with confidence, you'll NEVER be disappointed!! ... Not only is LifesAnExpedition an incredibly talented fiber artist, her customer service goes above and beyond with every single order ... I am majorly impressed by every aspect of this transaction, the care in which everything was packaged, the speed of shipping, the graciousness of the seller, and last but in no way least, the yarn itself. wow wow and MORE wow! ... Such lovely yarn. This is my 3rd order of this. yep, i do love dj's yarn! thanks soooo very much!!... You give me the best shipping discounts on the planet and I thank you. ... Stunning and luscious in color and texture. The only surprise here is how much prettier it is in your hands than in the pic. Fast shipping, great communication! Thanks!... Really, far more beautiful than the pic shows, and, as is always the case with DJ's yarns, very saturated colors in stunning combinations! Fast shipping, great communication--you just can't go wrong with her yarns! ... Absolutely lovely yarn; I am blown away by the material quality, colors, and softness! thank you dearly for this wonderful transaction. p.s.: super fast shipping too! this was a buyer's dream :] ...♥ This is some of the most wonderful yarn I've seen, and I've been knitting for 45 years. ♥ ... This journal ROCKS! A must-have for journalers and journal collectors! A+++++ ... Wonderful transactions with this remarkable seller! I'll be back for sure!! ...Based on my experience I would recommend this seller to everyone!! Great product and fast shipping!! ... Happy New Year, DJ! My yarn just arrived and it's as beautiful as ever!!! I'm knitting with some of your yarn right now and love it. Thanks so much. ... Received my mannequin head yesterday. Just lovely. Anxious to try it out. Thanks so much. ... it's soft, the colours blend so beautifully. dj has a gift. i don't have it. i couldn't blend yarns and threads the way she does to save my life. she has an artist's eye. bless you, dj!!! keep the yarns coming. my stash is overflowing, but i always have room for yours!! ... Item is MUCH bigger and roomier than what I expected it to be, therefore exceeding my expectations. The tote bag will certainly be put to good use. Thank you very much. ... Fantastic yarn! Supersonic shipping! Fantastic seller recommended to all!! ... I've been shopping on eBay for many years and this is the first time anyone ever gave me a rebate! Thank you! ...Receiving my purchases of yarn, etc. from LAE always makes me very happy. All shipments arrive within a couple of days and are always exactly as beautiful as I thought they would be. Thanks for being a source/resource for my creations. ... Love, love, love this yarn.... Oh my gosh! It's like you made this blend just for me! My favorite colors and it's so soft it should be illegal in 39 states LOL Thanks!! ... I’ve been knitting with Paris Nights---the dark blue with flecks of color---really pretty. In fact, I haven’t seen any of your yarns that I didn’t think were beautiful!! ... Always dependable service, love this yarn! One of my favorite vendors. ...AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST: One customer alone has placed US$7,190.00 in orders of LAE brand yarn since 2005. You will receive the same top-notch service that she does, even if you buy only one skein. --dj runnels
