Note to my swap pals: My surgery is scheduled for August 5th. I also moved into a new place and so things are in boxes. I WILL get the PC swap out, but the other 2 will be a little longer, as I am trying to locate them. Thank you for your patience and I do apologize greatly for this delay.

My name is Jassz, it is actually my nick name made from my initials. Juanita Annastasia Storms Sutherland (the Z is for fun)

I live in Alaska with my soon to be hubby, 2 kids and 4 cats. I've been in Alaska for over 20 years now. Wow! Um, yeah, I'm an artist, and a singer, and I have written a few of my own songs. I'm a penpal, and I love to meet people.

I want to become a master Herbologist and open a Tea Shoppe in Anchorage. I want to center my teas around medicinal properties and teach classes so others can learn to find relief in tea like I do.

My Tea Shoppe will a place for everyone who is open minded about life and all its wonders. Religions, education, life styles and life choices are all welcome. I want it to be a place where everyone who enters feels safe to practice and believe what ever it is they want to! I enjoy almost everything art. I make friendship books for people, just because I enjoy making them. I have participated in several groups, mostly ATC and altered art, but due to some unfortunate events in my life, I had to remove myself from the groups.

In November of 2008, my family and I became homeless and I put my kids in foster care until I could get my feet back. So I have been working and getting as much together as I can. Thanks to a very generous friend, I have a place to be during the day before and after work and an internet connection to use.

I joined this group, because I have been missing my art very much and I hoped that a few swaps might perk me up and get me feeling better.

If you want to know anything else, please feel free to ask me.

PS: I was preparing for surgery but they cancelled it due to my medicaid not starting up yet. So I will be laid up for a few weeks (June hopefully not into July) So if any of my swaps are late, don't fret, I'll get them out I promise. Thanks!
