Seedlings3P

I am a bookkeeper by day and a crafter by night. Crafts made from textiles are my first love. My sewing machine is never used for traditional sewing...I like to sew items to paper for a unique look.

It is funny recently I discovered I love losing myself to songs with great lyrics. Great singer-songwriters who express life through music. Ahhhh!

I have two teenage children, three dogs, wonderful parents, and I am blessed with a fabulous job.

I love thrift stores, garage sales, & estate sales.

Several years ago I started my Etsy store. The experience has been wonderful and many of my customers are also friends. The best of all worlds.

I appreciate all gifts and have gotten wonderful items.

• Things I do NOT LIKE:
• Passion Stickers
• Foam Cutouts
• Nothing Modern or Way Out There
• Anime
• No Super Heros - Marvel, etc.

I live in the suburbs of Houston, TX, and dream of moving to the mountains. I will always research where my swap-bot partner lives. It is nice to mentally escape my surroundings. I have lived in the Houston area all of my life.

Recently, I discovered Postcrossing...very exciting to receive cards from all over the world.

I LOVE making ATCs and PCs if you ever want to do a private swap. It would also be fun to collage a shape if anyone would like to play.

I love textiles!!!! Any sort of sewing notions, vintage or new. I love online auctions!!! When I find vintage quilts, vintage fabrics, notions, and ephemera, I go crazy....probably too crazy!!!!
