Hello from South Dakota USA! I’m a retired nurse, with debilitating migraines, a fiber and mixed media artist. Oh how I love to weave, crochet and twine. My other passion is mixed media with beads, paints, collage, reverse collage, mail art and journaling. I’m a snail mail pen pal have been for 30+ years. I love to write long newsy letters along with swapping goodies. I love Decos, FB’s, Crams, LB’s and goodie bags! I’m also an avid reader on almost every genre. You’ll find me in thrift stores hunting for goodies and antiques. I feel every day is a true gift.

Favorite authors: King, Koontz, Cook, Palmer, Flynn, Kellerman (Jonathan & Faye), Patterson, Clancy, Abel, Baldacci, Butcher, Gaiman, Connelly, and many more.

I live in rural SD our mail is sent to and processed in a city 5 hours away. The post mark date will not always reflect the day I posted it. In the winter months the mail is much slower. It has taken 8 days for a letter to arrive in a town an hour away. I’ve also had on rare occasions where mail will disappear so if you don’t get my swap please contact me or send a message. I will make it right. Thanks in advance if there is a hiccup.

4.11.18 Due to my health I will be completing my current swaps and quitting. Hopefully I encountered the only Troll out there who was upset about a sent date and my being hospitalized before it was posted. Beware my friends. Some people do not have real lives or compassion. Sadness.

4.1.18 through 4.3.18. Ice and blizzard no travel.

3.27.18 found out our rural mail carrier no longer works for our rural post office. New carrier has not picked up our mail for three days. Postmistress notified. The joys of rural mail.

3.22.18 through 3.23.18 Ice storm no travel

3.17.18 another March ice and snowstorm has roads and interstate closed again.

3.12.18 I’ve been in and out of the hospital the last week. Just returned home again today.

3.9.18 please note I was in the hospital for several days. Just got home tonight. I’m not a flaker just became very ill. Hope you will understand your swaps are on their way.

3.5.2018 We are in a blizzard warning until 3.6.18 no travel as roads have been shut down. No mail services until further notice.
