I SEND - AS EARLY AS I CAN!! So please PM me if something doesn't show up. We'll work it out.

My name is Rebecca and I have been happily married for almost 29 years; we have a grown daughter (she loves Swapbot!), and 2 dogs and a cat. We live out in the country in the mountains and love it. Our daughter is the one who introduced me to Swapbot!

I used to own an antiques business, so I like older, unique things with a bit of history. I do a lot of work with genealogy and another favorite pastime is working outside with flowers.

Art wise, I love making ATCs, APCs, inchies, collage, assemblage art and rubber stamping! Just sorting through the materials relaxes me. I also design handmade cards and postcards.

vintage postcards, papers, prints, old letters

old decorative metal pieces (small bits, odd shapes, old or rusty)
