Photography, oil painting, drawing, scrap booking, I like the masters like Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Di Vinci, Reubens, Monet, Manet but also animation both old and new. I love all colors and black and white and I take full liberties with colors so feel free to do so yourself. I enjoy making and swapping ATCs. I am interested in where you live and different countries; and especially how humor is appreciated differently throughout the world.

I now Crochet and am learning to make soap and candles!!! I like to make cakes in jars.

I grew up in Key West, FL and now spend a lot of time on the outer banks of NC. You get a wide angle view of me by knowing that. I love the coast.

I will angel swaps whenever needed if I am familiar with the craft. :-)

We celebrate Christmas in a large, large way. We put up over 90,000 Christmas lights on our home and yard, have multiple displays, animatronics, home made, store bought, donated, beloved antiques. We recently acquired some fantastic antique life sized figurines at a local yard sale. The whole yard is changing this year.

I am an animal lover, especially dogs and cats. Presently I have a LabraDane; a 100 lb regal beauty. Most of my life I have had cats. Most any animal is acceptable to send as long as it is peaceful.

I am not a prude but I am a Christian so please do not send anything having to do with vulgarity, nudity, drugs, or terror. Please do not send anything to my home that I will have to destroy. I will not keep it in my home or in my life. I do not want to receive anything scented as I have allergies. Please do not flake. I AM A NONSMOKER so my work does not smell bad of smoke.

I am allergic to fragrances and I do not like tea. Other than that almost everything is great. Many regards. Thanks.

If you do not get your package on time please PM me immediately. I PROMISE I WILL NOT FLAKE ON YOU & TO RATE YOU. If you notice I have not rated you, please let me know and I will do so immediately and am not offended.

WISH LIST: I love jewel colors and Islands. I like North Carolina State University, animals, travel, vintage images, postcards of maps, labels, Florida and North Carolina (especially the keys and outer banks) If you go to the trouble of making me or my grandchildren something we will appreciate it from the heart, no matter what it is or how much it costs. I like recycled items or items made from recycled material and/or shipped in recycled materials.

Joy.... Please tell the ones you love that you do love them; even if it humbles you.

I have two grandchildren a boy aged 7 and a girl aged 5. They live near us and are my heart and my soul. They love Legos, Star Wars, Beanie Babies, Wii, Xbox and Hot Wheels; oh and NCSU. He likes red, green and royal blue and GIJoe. She likes Barbie, pink, purple and brown (I know, brown? but she loves it). They both love art and making stuff and especially Christmas Lights.

I am recently getting back into swapping after a year or so. I love postcards and have chosen to swap them as well as ATCs but plan to be back full force into ATCs soon.

I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR WELCOMING ME BACK WITH OPEN ARMS.
