I have been making and trading ATCs for many years. I love doing ATCs with vintage photos, and often use photos from my stash of old family photos. Since joining Swap-Bot I've started to make postcards for some of the swaps.

I also make quilts and greeting cards. I have completed about ten fat scrapbooking albums and over a dozen large quilts - some early ones by hand.

I am a preschool teacher married to a professor. My two children are grown and I have one grandchild, an adopted Korean girl who is 12 years old.

I love to read more than anything, and I'm usually torn between reading or doing Swap-Bot projects. Swap-Bot is winning.

I'm happy to have found a site with lots of people signing up for swaps. I love to get a variety of ATCs and other crafty things.

I LOVE postcards mailed to me to be naked and weathered!! PLEASE

I always send out my swaps as soon as possible, and I promise to rate you promptly. I am very lenient with late sends and mistakes - if there is communication. If you don't receive my swap in a reasonable time, let me know and I will definitely resend.

If you do not get a rating from me, PLEASE PM me!!
