Mother of 3 grown sons .... my one and only grandchild is a Wonderful boy.**

The only girl in my life is my daughter-in-law and is just the Best !! We both love working with different crafts, .......

Now that I am retired, I hope to learn different types of art , be able to read more , and never stop learning!!!!

Speaking of learning... I am learning to create many types of Journals .... Fun!! Fun!!

Who knows, may even try that quilt I have been promising for years....and for sure get busy with my dolls.....

For the most part will only join USA swaps this year due to cost & time.

.

I have a "passion" for Paper...I paint with oils, little free hand drawing, but I enjoy working with Paper Collages . ,,,, ATCs, ...Journals.. Photography, ... Altered books .....Altered Dolls,...... Enjoy ALL Holidays, ... as you can see I like learning something new and staying busy. .... ... new sewing machine... other than by hand, have not done this in a very long time but found so many things, I would like to sew......

Like the 3x5 or 4x6 cards, the larger ones will not fit in my storage......Will always take a PC mailed in an envie...

I also collect State ATC's to place with the PC's......If you would like to do a one on one trade for Texas or Missouri ATCs or exchange new postcards from states you may need, please PM to let know...

I am really very easy with music. I like all types of music except "hip hop" and very old C&W.. ...Music is always playing while working on crafts.....
