Minivandreams

Hello!

I am Julia - a twin mom, accountant, quilter, scrapbooker, card maker, blogger, traveler and nap-sneaker.

I have a blog called Mini Van Dreams where I share about life with twins, planner printables, other printables, scrapbooking, card making, recipes, crafts, reviews and more. The link is above it you want to check it out! (All my printables are FREE so feel free to print some and send them with your next swap!)

I have been described as impetuous, sassy and a trooper. I try to laugh my way through life!

I love anything but rap or hip hop music. I especially like classic rock and country - Eagles, Tom Petty, Brad Paisley, Eric Church, etc.

I am a Jack Daniels and Coke/jeans and t-shirt kinda girl. I love working on cars. I collect frogs and interesting rocks. I love penguins. I love fun, unique things. I love to travel and learning about new places. My favorite place to visit is Amish Country in Holmes County, Ohio. I love old barns and country drives. I also love to cook and love to receive new recipes to try out. I am also a dirt racing (World of Outlaws) and NHRA drag racing fan and a die-hard Steelers girl. I also love writing letters/sending postcards. If you want to be penpals, send me a message!

I have a blog called Mini Van Dreams where I share recipes, free printables, craft tutorials, anecdotes about my crazy life, social good initiatives and more.

I mail my items at work. I mark them as soon as I put them in the mail drop. The mail is picked up once a day, so depending on what time I drop them, they might not go out until the next day. If you do not receive your items in a timely manner, PLEASE CONTACT ME and I will resend them!
