BuddyBriar

Music is Piano (like John Tesh) & Classical (Rhapsody in Blues etc), OLD Country Western, Good Old Rock n Roll. Favorite relax me music is a song/CD by Gary Prim -- Rachel's Song always good to hear to calm me down. Country favorites are Clint Black's "No Time To KIll" ... and Elvis will always be King!

I did card making for years, but now anything related to junk journaling fills my days, nights and wee hours. I hoard embellishments like sari silk tapes, ribbon/lace, more sari silk, charms, painty papers, old books to use for collage and a plethora of anything that isn't glued down and CAN BE.

I LOVE collage too .... all those tiny pieces of paper are hugs & smiles to me!! I'm talking tiny pieces of anything. 1/4", 1" & up ... it's all FUN stuff.

I use digital journal kits to make a "day planner", collage, scavenger hunt & writing journal every month. I love that it's all in one place.

I also love dogs.. My last three fur babies (2 girls Chelsea & Pooh Bear await me on the other side) and my baby boy, Buddy Briar just turned 14 on October 6th! I got him when he was 1 year old from Indiana. He was transplanted to Minnesota from a shelter that either closed or was overloaded. He's my snuggler and lap dog.

Oh, I also love creating Quirky Peeps. Think "paper dolls" ... like Art Tea Life (OneCrabapple) on Etsy (Sandy Gordon) .Love these.

Things I DON'T Care to see or receive: kawaii stuff ... scented anything (headaches), no food items, teacher stuff, religious anything, beads (I have tons of them now)...

If I receive any geli prints (AWESOME), clusters, paper flowers, tags, die cuts, paper or fabric ruffles, strips of paper with border punches used, any small collage bits, and anything else that can be glued down I can go to my "happy place" & get lost for hours! I love the variety of it all. I love lots of color, and my favorite "thing" for some reason is CIRCLES & any plain shapes. I punch or cut out wonky shapes. Good for tabs, journal notes, etc; & I can cut them in half & use them for "tabs" on my pages ... oh, I love "tabs" too. Just about anything in ephemera will make me giddy.

Prefer NOT to GET: 2023 NOV. Any extras at this point in time. I'm full up on everything I need or want. THANKS.

2023 10 14 ... Here's the deal. Last June or July (2023) I accidentally EMAILED a 5,000 Question/Part 22 swap to a partner. She notified me it was not properly sent; so I MAILED it out the next day. I was rated a 1; then she finally changed the rating to a 3 for whatever reasons. She never acknowledged receiving the mailed version, and after reaching out many times for an update & finding 2 other profiles for this swapper, I just had to let it go. Very disappointing.
