Favorite Crafts

I love photography and crafting with paper. I just started making and sending my own postcards. I taught myself to crochet a few years ago but haven't been doing much lately. I also participate in Postcrossing and after I collect enough cards, I want to bind them into a book.

Favorite Television

I don't watch much TV. My favorites are House, Monk, the Daily Show, the Colbert Report.

Favorite Books

Anything in print. I read every chance I can get.

Swap preferences

I'd prefer handmade cards. If a card tells me something about you it is more interesting. Tourist postcards are ok if you don't make your own. I'd love to see the postage stamps your country is issuing. I love vintage postcards, old books, and other old ephemera. I try to use vintage paper in my swap items as much as possible. I collected stamps as a kid and I'm still fascinated by them although I'm not a collector. I often include them on my postcards. I'm happy with whatever you send me and will be kind in my ratings. However, I do not want any religious items.

About Me

I'm 40-something, married with two kids, both boys. My oldest is currently applying to colleges. I'm a doctor and scientist.
I participated in NaNoWriMo for the past two years so have two unfinished novels (YA) to my name. I love to travel and do so every chance I get. I speak French fluently although I don't get much chance to do so. I dream of going back to Paris often. I also enjoy hiking, walking on the beach, wilderness and mountain areas.

Comment: Thank you for the pretty sunset postcard. Lucky you, conference in Hawaii? What company do you work for and are they hiring? LOL Take care, GT
Response: I work for myself--it was a doctor's meeting. So I had to pay for the whole thing! Still nice, though.

Response: You are very welcome. I'm glad you liked everything. I love picking out the stamps for the envelopes too. So few people use real stamps anymore.

Comment: Nice card, Sarala--thank you! My husband and I honeymooned on Oahu 27 years ago and have been since to all the major islands, but it's been quite a long time since I've been there now. I hear tourism is really having a tough time there now with the way the economy has been-they were probably glad to welcome you! Mahalo, Carol
Response: Yes things were hurting a bit there. The economy was so bad they were furloughing teachers (kids weren't having school on Fridays). Made my hotel affordable but still. Mahalo to you too.

Comment: Thank you for the Chicago card and quote. I hope that the holidays were good for you. I, too, am relieved they are over because I sang for all of the services. It was very uplifting but also tiring.

hiya! just wanted to let you know that the original postcard you sent for the "Quotecard Postcard #24 " was sent to the wrong address.... NOT your fault, but the PO had a hiccup and it went traveling around for a month. i'm glad it finally arrived! and i will upgrade the rating when the second card arrives too. thanks so much! and sorry it took so long for the first card to get here!

sweetavalanche on Jun 16, 2009:

Hi! Thanks for joining my Vintage/thrifted Sheets as Fabric swap, and I hope you had fun with it! If you're interested in more, I just started up Round 3!

Thank you for angeling the Vintage Themed PC#2 swap for me. I like the card you sent.

impeus on May 13, 2009:

Phew! Just seen your post on the May postcards swap about prefering your cards weathered. That's a relief, as I forgot to check for comments on the page, just read your profile, chose your card & wrote it! Phew!!!

Love my vintage B-day postie, thank you for thinking of me:)
