Hi, I’m Jen.

I love crafting and expanding my abilities and areas of projects. This is why I love craft swaps so I can make new things to share with people.

I am a married, stay at home mom to 3 boys. I homeschool one of my boys. I've never done anything like this before but I'm excited to begin this new chapter in our lives.

I have been working on a recipe journal made from a vintage cookbook. It is an amazing project and so much fun. I am also making a garden journal using my vintage Better Homes & Gardens Garden Book.

Since I have been homeschooling I am addicted to vintage papers like ledgers, index cards, forms, envelopes, etc. I like to write my lesson plans on different vintage papers to keep it interesting.

LIKES: vintage stationary, paper and envelopes, vintage maps and patterns, garden themed anything, books or anything to do with reading, unique envelopes, travel, preppy, ephemera, junk journals, any kind of journal and journal supplies, scrapbooking, homeschooling, the ocean, boating, space (cosmic), retro, music, llamas, birds, crystals, zen, Buddha, nature, recycling, painting, mix altered art, peace, bohemian, kitschy and anything unique and handmade.

I love making and collecting ATCs. I appreciate papers pre-cut to ATC size: 2.5 X 3.5 inches and of course, your handmade ATCs.

DISLIKES: Disney, movies, loose glitter, most animation, cats, alcohol (sober over 2 years!), wine and alcohol memes, television, brand names, celebrities, politics, negativity, noise, clutter, samples of food, lotions, makeup or drinks

I would love new pen pals who love to be crafty! Every letter I write or package I send, please feel free to message me or keep my address and write back. I am always looking for new pen pals and people to swap with. NOTE: I recycle as much as I can, especially envelopes and note cards.
