About Me

I have been retired for a number of years and find that very delightful. Here in Reno I belong to a stamping group, we get together somewhat frequently and usually do shoe box projects. Sometimes we meet for lunch only, or go some place exciting.

Every Morning (M - F) I walk for about 50 min. It's a good way to start off the day.

In the winter we usually spend several months in Mexico.

Life is good.

One of my favorite people is Shirley MacLaine. I think she is terrific.

Besides rubber stamping my favorite things are photography, gardening, making packages, and doing swaps.

Things I greatly dislike is cute stuff. Teddy Bears .... you get the message. Also fragrant stuff, I do not like due to some allergy. No candles, please! Like I said: no cute, please. That includes Disney and Kawaii and Hello Kitty.

One of my favorite writers is Barbara Kingsolver.

Every morning I go for a walk, approx. 50 min. It's wonderful, we have those walking trails all over where we live. However I do prefer to walk on a non-paved trail, it's good to feel connected to the earth. Another favorite of mine are birds. There is a bird feeder on my patio, I love to watch the little critters.

Favorite Music

Rock and Roll, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Yes, Grateful Dead, Zucchero, etc.

Favorite Movies

Notorious with Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant

Favorite Television

I don't watch too many TV shows, but I do like movies as long as they don't start out with guns and shooting and violence and a lot of screaming. If I see any of that within the first few minutes I click it off. TV shows that I like are The Good Wife, The Middle, Two and a Half Men (only with Charlie S.)

Favorite Crafts

rubber stamping collage art (mixed media) love collecting nice paper books, altered books, hand-made books, ATCs I love Georgia O'Keefe. What magnificent colors. What beautiful paintings.

Please do not send

Religious items, Disney, pencils/erasers, make-up, scented products, jewelry, hair accessories, candy or other foods Thanks!!!

Please do not send me small pieces of paper. I have tons of it and have absolutely no use for that.

WISHLIST I like anything from the 70th.

Please note:

About ratings. I put my heart into all my swaps and would never dream of flaking. If a problem arise I will contact my swap partner. If for some reason you have not been rated then I either haven't received the swap or perhaps misplaced or forgotten, so please PM me.

Important:

Please, please, please .... on any given swap if you do not receive anything from me do contact me. I always fulfill my obligations, so if you didn't receive something it might have gotten lost in the mail somehow. And I will make good.

I only send items I would like to receive myself.

Last Words ..

Flakers

This is something I really dislike to do but if there is one thing disgusting that are flakers. I do give them a fair chance to tell me what happened but if I do not receive a reply, well, they'll be listed here.

Comment: Oh my goodness - what a great package. Love the recipe...sounds wonderful. We grew up always having chili on Halloween and we still do but trust me, I'll try this before Halloween. We love chili. Also the little Nativity set is just the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. Makes me want to put it out now. What a great surprise...and the cards are perfect too. You really outdid yourself - and I'm glad you were chosen to send to me.
Response: See, that's what it is all about: to make you happy! I am so glad you enjoyed what I sent to you, thanks for your lovely note (it warmed my heart) and many thanks for the heart.

So did you watch "The Way" yet? I thought it was fun to watch..so many places I recognized, even some of the forests..and some of the things that were added in with "artistic interpretation".
