About Me

My name is Christina and I'm 32 years old. My birthday is August 25th. I am married to the love of my life Steve. We have been married since January 20, 2001. We've been together over 15 years. Our daughter Daliana was born July 5, 2008.

We live with our 2 cats Abby and Augie in a city called Green Cove Springs, Florida. It's in the northeast part of the state, near Jacksonville.

Being a mom is one of the most exciting things that's ever happened to me. I look at my daughter every day and count my blessings for having her in my life.


I think green and I do like to reuse packaging, so please don't be surprised if you see an envelope or box that looks used.

I'm also pretty crafty and create my own envelopes at times out of various things (magazines, folders, etc).

This helps keep more junk out of landfills.


My favorite crafts are inchies, matchboxes, ATCs, photo collages, making my own notecards, mini zines, sticker crafts, painting, making pet rocks, beading, and plastic canvas art.

I really want to learn to crochet. I kind of sort of can do a single stitch basic crochet, but I want to be able to make fun stuff like hats and amigurumi.

I would love to get my hands on any items to help my crafty endeavors.


If for some reason you do not receive a swap or a tag from me, PLEASE send me a message and let me know! I know that things get lost in the tree mail and I send all of my swaps out on time.

I also rate as soon as I receive a swap, and appreciate you doing the same for me.

Comment: I will re-rate if I get anything. Marked sent the 4th. Received Feb 6th. Thank you so much for sending out your answers to me. I don't mind that they were typed at all. I hope your hand is recovering nicely.
Response: Oh my goodness....I had no idea this never made it to you. I just had wrist surgery so I would have to type my answers as opposed to the first one which was handwritten. I will start remaking it...just will take a little bit typing one handed lol. /// So glad that the re-send got to you. I have been doing well with my recovery - thanks!
