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. When I can, I try to attach colorful or interesting stamps to 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 50 now, married with two kids, both boys. My oldest is a junior in college. I'm a doctor and scientist.
I participated in NaNoWriMo twice over the 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: Terrific mail art, not too weird at all - in fact, just up my alley! And you used pretty cool stamps, too; I love vintage stamps and have a soft spot for space stamps. Thanks for the stamp extras you sent and especially for the Metra ticket. Have a great weekend!
Response: You are most welcome! Glad you liked it.

Wanted to say an extra thanks for the stamps you put on the envelope (I've saved them too) for the stamp bag swap! Great stamps!! Hope you are well! i am down to Naperville periodically with work and we went into Chicago to the Navy Pier last fall. Very pretty, very windy:)

Hi, just wanted to say that if you ever are in Toronto, and think you'd have time for a coffee, or a crafting session, or even a tour guide to show you some of the less known places in Toronto, feel free to let me know!

And also, based on this card, if you're looking for any more groups to join, I think you'd fit right in to the Cut and Paste group - you can find the link from my profile if interested.

Thanks for the swap!
