About Me

I am a retired teacher, mother of three, grandmother of 5 (and step-grandmother of 2 more-soon). I have been married over 40 years to a husband I love and respect. I love to garden, craft and create. We have no pets, but we enjoy bird watching. And I am thankful for all of the blessings God has given me.

Favorite Crafts

I have had many favorite crafts from crochet to macrame to silk embroidry to scrapbooking to jewelry making, and others. I would consider crocheting a favorite but right now I am enjoy papercrafting. I love to make ATCs, tags, and inchies. I think inchies are fun. And I always like making cards. I did some scrapbooking, even taught classes, but I love taking picture on a splendid camera my husband bought for me and I have so many photos that I get frustrated making my own scrapbook. Rubber stamping is the focus of most of my paper craft projects but not all. I have been stamping for about thirty years and have many, many stamps. I am always looking for something new and different or very versatile.

Favorite Books

book-fairy-1.gif I like inspirational books, craft books, children's books of all sorts, and fairy books. I am not an avid reader but enjoy some things that come out on the best seller list.

Favorite Movies

Favorite movies: PRACTICAL MAGIC, NOTTING HILL, STEEL MAGNOLIAS and, MAMMA MIA!

Favorite Music

I enjoy easy listening music and some classical. I like country music if I'm in the mood. Christian music is great and I LOVE Christmas music.

Things I Like

fairy I fancy Fairies (figurines, prints, jewelry, books, anything with fairies), but pretty fairies, graceful young fairies, not cutsy or weird ones. Things having to do with fairies such as butterflies, ladybugs and dragonflies suit me. And fantasy appeal to me too. I also like vintage items, ie. vintage images and bits of lace or ribbon and old buttons and so on. I like gardening so I like flowers and ferns and, well, back to the fairy kind of thing.

My Styles

flowerfairy I seem to choose rich colors, the jewel tones, over pastels. I enjoy oriental themes and have studied Chinese brush art. Since most things vintage appeal to me, I choose that style often. You will see flowers a lot in my projects. I revisit old techniques sometimes but I like to learn and try new things too.

Just a note

It's nice to see others ideas and the project that brings the idea to reality. I appreciate the effort someone puts into that project. I like to look at techniques used and sometime try to learn a little bit. Mostly, I like seeing that someone cares enough to do their best when they complete a project to send out. I try to make that my goal when I make something to mail.

Comment: I received the envelope. I like the postcard, but what are the rest of these papers??
Response: In looking at your swaps, I see that you've not received an ATC yet. I think you'll find pages from a vintage book or antique music score to be helpful when you pursue that aspect of art. If not, I'm sure someone will if you sent them as extras for a swap you are in.

Comment: Hello Linda, Sorry I have been so slow in getting your rating done for this swap. However, I do appreciate your patience with me. I appreciate your generous sharing of paper napkins with me. The napkins you sent were a nice varied selection and I look forward to using them in my future creative endeavors. I hope we have some further opportunities to swap with one another. Until we meet again, Happy Swapping! Barb sleepingrover2010

Comment: Thank you so much for the photos! And thank you for sending a little letter along with it. I really loved the fire picture -- it took me a few minutes to find the face but I finally got it ;) And the face on the tree is adorable!
Response: I'm pleased that you liked the pictures. Maybe the face in the fire was a stretch so I'm glad you saw it too. Thanks for the rating and the heart.

Response: I've taken other butterfly pictures but these are best by far. I'm glad you like them. Butterflies around the world would be a good topic for study (if one had the time). Thank you for the rating and the heart.

If you are interested in photo swaps, I seen a swap called for the love of nature. Looks good. I know you have a lot of good nature and bird pics from right there in your back yard.
