Feb 2020 - slowing down in my swapping for a few months while I work on some projects.

I'm 57 years old, married for 28 years and still madly in love with my honey. We have two grown daughters, 2 grandsons, and 1 dog (Benny).

I always rate and I always send. If you don't receive something from me, please let me know and I can resend. I will do the same as this is a courtesy we all prefer.

I'm fascinated with junk and art journals. Love to see them and have just started making my own. I'm also making Zines and ATCs and love to see what others make.

My hobbies:

Reading, books, visiting bookstores, reading about books, libraries, museums. I love most things books and mail related (authors, stamps, bookstores, libraries, etc).
