About Me

I am a native Oregonian, animal lover, nature lover and passionate crafter. I enjoy creating functional items and art using recycled and repurposed materials. I have been a floral designer for 15 years. I enjoy hiking and beachcombing with my husband and my dogs. I have been volunteering at my local animal shelter for the past few years and experience so much joy from the cast of canine characters I am fortunate enough to meet. I live with my husband of 15 years, my two dogs and my cat. I don't have kids, but I enjoy being an aunt and other people's kids are cool, especially if they like art.

Favorite Music

The Clash, Mike Patton, Man Man, The Dirty Three, Modest Mouse, Tom Waites, The Melvins, The Ventures,

Favorite Movies

Moonrise Kingdom, Lars and the Real Girl, Fido, Horror movies - B movies, old zombie/monster movies, Rosemary's Baby, Suspiria, Night of the Living Dead,

Comment: Thank you Jessika for the lovely "Art on a written page - blue" that arrived yesterday. I do not know what I will do with the mini book, but it is certainly cute! I would love to be able to continue with these swaps, but I am studying this semester as well as working, so my Swapbot time has become zero!! Regards, Ruth

Comment: We must be like-spirits in our being drawn to the salt water world... I've lived in the Pacific Northwest a bit and remember the fantastic scenery and the very cool people... I absolutely love this card! The net was an amazing touch... The sand and shells will go in my collectors display box ... Thanks so very much!
Response: You're so welcome! I had so much fun making it for you. As soon as I read your profile, I knew exactly what to do :) It is a magical place, the Oregon Coast. I feel very fortunate to be so close to the ocean. My rule is that I will never move further than 90 minutes away from the beach!! I live an hour away now, it's nothing to grab the dogs and go for even a couple of hours. I never take it for granted.

Comment: Wow! Jessika, thank you SO much for the beautiful, pink, vintage postcard! I am in LOVE with it! :D I hope that you, your husband, and your dog have a wonderful picnic together and enjoy the sunset. What a fun and exciting trip! I would love to do something like that someday. I hope to travel through the US and visit places like Oregon! Our family doesn't have many traditions, or at least I can't seem to think of any at the moment... Hopefully one day we will, though! I hope you're having a wonderful day! :D xoxo Kat <3

Comment: Thank you for the postcard. The only family tradition we have and it has gone on to another generation. At Easter, everyone tries to crack each others colored egg. The last one that doesn't have a crack in his egg is the victor for the year with bragging rights. Shirley

Comment: Thank you for the Asian PC. I hope that you enjoyed the summer solstice celebration. No I don't really have any traditions like that. I am going this weekend to see my son & his wife and we hope to get to swimming at some lake. Just spending time with family is a blessing.

Comment: Thank you for the postcard. I love your tradition. We like to read books on the beach during the summer. It is the only time I can get my partner away from the computer, ha ha.
