About Me

I will always send out my swaps. If for any reason there is a mess up with the post office I would like a chance to resend the item before being negatively scored. This is a great site and I am really looking forward to future swaps! Thanks!

I grew up on the east coast, lived in Chicago for awhile and now have settled in San Diego. I love traveling and have been fortunate to see parts of the world. I have been collecting postcards for many years and I was quite surprised to see how many do so here.

Christmas is my favorite time of the year! My husband and I go a bit overboard decorating for the Christmas holidays. But this is just one of my passions, I love all kinds of crafts and am currently working on patchwork pups and a knitted/crocheted patchwork afghan for Warm Up America (see website above).

ChristmasPainting - I did not paint this, this is my favorite painting and I have yet to find the artist- the signature is indecipherable.

Favorite Crafts

  • Quilting
  • Postcards - Collecting
  • Knitting
  • Party favors
  • Creating family books
  • Scrapbooking

Fabric Likes and Dislikes

When I am creating quilts, I only work with cottons. I have done one baby quilt in flannel, but I just didn't enjoy it as much. I have shelves of fabrics of all colors, patterns and themes. I am particularly fond of black and white patterns, they seem to brighten my quilts. I already mentioned Scotties as a favorite craft item, but I love fabrics with them in it. I am less fond of the old fashioned-civil war patterns that tend to be muted and quieten the overall look.

I have decided on using plaids this Christmas, we are going Scottish style. I am in the process of gathering all different types of plaids to make various crafts- gift bags for the table, pillows, perhaps a quilt or two.

Favorite Quirky Things

These are a few of my favorite craft related things (they are in no special order):

  • Christmas - Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus and Christmas Fairies, no snowmen please
  • Halloween - particularly things related to witches, ie witches hats
  • Pirates
  • Owls
  • Dogs
  • Old Sailing Ships
  • Sparkly things, like Rhinestone buttons
  • Charms
  • Harry Potter
  • Hobbits and The Lord of the Rings
  • Scottish related items
  • Fairies
  • Flora, Fauna and Merriweather
  • Fairy Godmothers
  • Scotties
  • Vintage Buttons
  • Squirrels and chipmunks
  • Pinecones
  • Cows
  • Postcards - maps, city multi-views, recipes, animals of any kind, factoids of a state, history of something, landmarks, mountains, snow scenes, etc.

Dislikes - I do not like/want any religious items or incense.

Favorite Colors

Oh dear... this is very hard, because even my least favorite color can present a fun craft challenge. I guess my favorite colors are purple and forest green.

Favorite Books

Yes, I am a Jane Austen fan and a J.K. Rowling fan, sigh. I know Jane Austen is no longer alive, but hopefully J. K. Rowling will continue writing.

I also enjoy Tolkien, Ludlum, James Patterson, Jonathan Kellerman and Nora Ephron.

I really do not like Horror and Vampires, I keep a steady supply of garlic to ward them off.

Favorite Foods

I have been eating the diabetic way, which has helped to keep the weight down. But I really love chocolate- milk and dark (not so much the white), and will indulge occasionally. I like the afternoon tea with scones and sandwiches. I love pancakes and pasta.

Favorite Movies

All the Harry Potter movies, All the Star War movies, Pride and Prejudice all versions, Lord of the Rings, Finding Nemo, Cold Comfort Farm, I Robot, Men in Black I and II, Power of One....

I do not care for horror films.

Comment: Thanks for the postcard. Petco Park looks like a model and not the real thing! (I prefer football over baseball, too. but hockey is my favorite.)

Comment: Thanks for the wonderful postcard! School is going well, can't wait for it to be over. Holidays aren't exactly my favorite time, however having a child has helped to change that, and I thank my lucky stars for that! I've never been to Lake Tahoe :( I need to travel more! Which is probably one of the reasons I trade so many postcards, being able to see all these lovely places for a pretty cheap price!
