From Me to You

My promise to you: Everything I make for you, I will spend time on, put TLC into, and make with you in mind. On items I swap, I will always read your profile and try to find items that will be a pleasure for you to receive. I will rate every swap I recieve, and will always give hearts when a special touch has been added.

Getting to know me...

I am married, have two wonderful daughters, and a sweet doggie

I love going to unique shops,vintage & bizarre finds and lattes w/friends. I LOVE the holidays (especially Christmas)!! I love musicals & theater, and to travel. My daughters and I are best friends and do alot together (check out my blog). I have a huge yearning to go to Europe (would love to grab a day pack, hop on a plane then travel by train throughout the country exploring every little bit.) I am a Christian and love getting to know God more & more each day through His amazing creations & all the interesting and unique people in the world . I love to send & receive mail. I love a new adventure, new friends, & new art ideas! I love the rain, and twilight is my fav time of day. I like pretty and unusual things like broaches,bracelets & earrings and I have a passion for recycling! The holidays are so magical, I love giving gifts and surprising people,and love volunteering to help in the community whenever possible. My girls and I are really enjoying Swap-bot!

  • It is a big bummer to do an ATC swap and recieve a sticker on an ATC back and have that considered "art" no person would be happy to get that :(

  • On postcard swaps please send one you would like to receive rather than a freebee from some company, or a boring one.

    It all goes back to the Golden Rule...
