About Me

I love to write letters to pen friends. I also love anything stationery or office supply related. *********** Right now I am learning mixed media and am an avid art journal junkie. ***********I am using a Bullet Journal hybrid of sorts- combining my to-do lists with daily journal stuff, art, goals, general list-making, hand lettering practice, etc. I love it! I use all sorts of things: pencils, micron pens, templates, stickers, ephemera, magazine cut outs for collage, journal cards, rubber stamps. ***********************

Poetry is a favorite of mine to read. I especially love Charles Burkowski. *********************

Some of the things I love most and love to share with others are: paper for collage, post cards, epherema, stickers, tags, small books, journals, magazine pictures, maps, ledgers, small keepsakes, fabric swatches, and a plethora of other stuff.***********

I am 52 years young but to me age is just a number and I feel just as young as my twenties mentally! :) I have friend of all ages. My husband and I have the same name. ***********

I am from Tampa but now live in the Dallas area where I have yet to make friends. That is why I love my pen friends as they have become important to me.

I am a former classroom teacher (14 years) and recently retired from working as a Special Investigator for almost 14 years. Now I stay at home and take care of my hubby and my pets: Bella ( a 12 yr. old Weimeraner, Bayou (a 5 yr. old Chesapeake Bay Retriever and Marmalade ( a 7 yr. old fat orange kitty cat).

Update: My sweet Bella went to Heaven to wait for me alongside my other pets that have already crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

We adopted Bailey, a 7-8 year old Weimeraner in October 2015. She is lovely and we are blessed. **********

Comment: Hi Terry! I am CRAZY for the pocket letter you sent! I adore the unconventional style--it was like sifting through a treasure box--SO much fun. The sweet heart-shaped rock just stole my heart. . . I loved the poem and quotes and I'm also crazy for the flowers with gold writing on them. And a whole pad of ATC backgrounds . . . wow! Of all the pocket letters I've received, this was my favorite. It's really inspirational--I'm going to try some of your wonderful ideas on my next pocket letter ;+)
Response: Hi, Kristy!! Oh, goody!! 😊 I am so excited that you liked the pocket letter I sent you. It was especially important to me that you liked it because I can tell what a nice person you are and thus wanted to please you. Thank you for such a lovely comment. I feel very happy right now{{hug}}!!!!!

Comment: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍❤️ Girl, you are tha bomb-diggity! I am absolutely gob smacked over my incredibly voluptuous envelope overflowing with Terry goodness! You have pushed all of my buttons but in such a fantastic way! I thank you from the bottom of my old shriveled up mean heart.❤️ Your family is most delightful! So much love! I think it's kinda fitting that your hubby is also a Terry. I am kinda dissapointed that one of your fur-uns isn't a Terry, too. Time for another addition to your tribe!😜😜😜 I'm not sure about you but I think we've made a love connection! 👍🏻❤️👍🏻 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️😍

Comment: Thank you so much for your incredibly generous swap, Terry! I love the unique items you included (and there are so many!). My dog, Toby, is a St. Bernard mix. He weighs about 95lbs and loves to play with our gray kitty, Tommy. We also have a black cat, Kozmo, a white/orange named Walnut and a gray/white named Moon. I was so sorry to read about the loss of your pup, Bella. All dogs go to heaven so I envision her enjoying an endless field of grass and delicious treats. I am originally from Maryland, been here my whole life. My sppon collection is getting pretty big but I'm not sure it includes one from Texas. I do have 5 spoons from Japan! The name Monkeyhouse came from Kurt Vonnegut's book. I was a fan at a young age. I wish my husband and I had a room for our legos, for now we just have a bookcase to display some of the more interesting pieces. Thank you again for such a thoughtful package, it really was happy mail!
Response: Hi, Emily! OMG- thank you so much for the lovely feedback you gave me! I felt so happy when reading it! All of your pets: Toby, Tommy, Kozmo, Walnut, and Moon sound so adorable. Thank you for your kind words about my precious Bella- you cannot fathom how much your kindness means to me and also that you wrote that Bella is in heaven. I really need to believe that and I want to surround myself with like-minded people. I will be on the lookout for a spoon from Texas to send you! My husband travels quite a bit, so he might even be able to get spoons from other countries for you. It was so nice to interact with you as you sound like a very nice person who is also interesting. Peace be with you and yours. Thank you again! xoxo- terry
