I love having a creative outlet and meeting other creative people...talking shop makes me giddy. I have been scrapbooking and making cards for about 17 years.
My wonderful husband and I love to travel...especially the national parks and Route 66 ...the USA is such a beautiful and diverse country..We love to go camping, cruises, and the shore.
Since joining Swap-bot, I now have a new hobby/obsession...stuffing envies with personalized items from other's profiles for swaps!! Wow! I have so much fun creating special packages for fellow swappers! I love class kits and inspiration kits so making envies for swappers makes me giddy with excitement...it's so cool to think of what someone may create with items I sent them. It makes me smile to think that someone's day will be brighter when they receive my swap in the mail.
Things that make me happy include:
*quiet time
*time to create
*ANTIQUING!!!!!! I live in Pennsylvania and we have the best antiquing!
*"stalking" creative blogs ;-)
*watching how-to YouTube videos
*hearing the sounds of my jars popping when canning
*sales
*prizes
*packages in the mail
*weekends
*beautiful rainy days
*my workshop (a.k.a. our old spare bedroom)
*doing something nice for someone just to ease their day
*moments of content
*vacations
I adore "Somerset Life" magazine and love the magazine "Where Women Create".
My passion is paper crafting...scrapbooking, card making, altered art, mini albums, rubber stamping, canvas art, altered journals...my latest craft obsession is making hatpins/stickpins...
I very much appreciate the vintage style and shabby chic.
My style is more sophisticated rather than cutesy.
Favorite scrapbooking companies: Graphic 45, BoBunny, Tim Holtz, 7 gypsies, Basic Grey, Prima, Jenni Bowlin, Vintaj
spa music
classical
doo wop
country
Cool Runnings (Jamaican bobsled team in '88 Olympics)
Rocky
When Harry Met Sally
Under the Tuscan Sun
House Hunters on HGTV
American Pickers
American Restoration
Diners, Drive-ins & Dives
Mike & Molly
Big Bang Theory
a book...what a joy...I love them all...especially books about girlfriends...biographies...not so much into crime and violence...I love tearjerkers such as Richard Paul Evans...chick lit
*vintage lace and trims!! *vintage buttons!! *different shades/hues of color than the typical *beads *tulle!! *cabochons *ephemera *striped paper *shabby chic *tea stained paper *tea stained tags *muslin *ribbon *burlap *inspirational quotes *filigree stampings (for jewelery designing) *lace *filigree *rubber stamped images *millinery items *my Bind-It-All *Paris theme *vintage theme *textured cardstock *velvet ribbon *vintage fabric *vintage wllpaper
*cartoon like images *kid/children style *"cutesy" style *stickers (I have tons from over the years) *religious stuff (inspirational yes but not w/religion) *glitter
Brown!! Autumn shades Neutrals: Gray, Cream, black, white
I really like shades/hues that are different than the typical.
Love Shabby chic colors... I'm not that much into neon colors or primary colors.
I promise to send every special swap on time and to check out swappers' profiles and tailor their items to them. I also promise to rate received items immediately. I am doing Swap-bot for fun and friendship and to bring joy to others through the mail.

Profile Hello Swap. Hi Pam. I loved reading your profile. I to joined swap-bot to make friends. I don't like going to the mail box except when I know that something might be waiting for me. Do you have a favorite country artist or Doo Wop artist? I Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Your swap partner. Edna
Hey! I am one of your profile hello partners. All the traveling you do sounds great! I've never even been camping, haha. Plan on doing that soon though. I have recently started scrapbooking. Over the years I have bought so many things to use for scrapbooking I recently decided it was FINALLY time to put them to use. You seem very creative! Hope you have a great day! =)
Profile Hello Swap From the movies you love to the things that make you happy, it all sounds so soothing! Great profile!
Someone else who loves rainy days! I have to ask this. Do you get more creative when it's raining out? I certainly do. Amusingly enough, the worse the storm, the more creative I get. When you mentioned "doing something nice for someone just to ease their day", have you heard of the 29 Gifts Project at all? It's a fantastic project, and something I've been trying to work on for some time now. I hope you are enjoying the "Profile Hello" swap.
Hi I am one of your partners from the Profile Hello swap. You sound like such a creative, fun loving person! How wonderful that you enjoy brightening the day for others -wish there were more folks in the world like you! I enjoy Chick Lit now and again as well! Have you read anything by Kris Radish? My favorite of hers is something about the Fabulous Traveling Funeral (dang, I can't remember the correct name - sorry!). I am getting ready (finally) to start on a large scrapbooking project for my youngest son - he graduates this year and I am going to make him a memory book that has from birth to now (yes, I should have started earlier, but I also sorted 25 years of photos! LOL!) - how awesome that you know your scrapbooking style - I don't think I really have one, as I am all over the place! LOL! Very much enjoyed reading your profile and hope we are partners again at some point! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
