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.

I got my postcard back today! Thank you so much for sending it back and the nice message you wrote on the back!! Happy Swapping!!
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!
Thanks for being a member of the Crafting Queens~
Hi Sara,
Thank you so much for sending my stamp bag "home." You're awesome!!
Thanks for sending your photograph "Snowflakes and Streetlight". I appreciate such a nice copy. If I ever get a photo collage created I will definitely send you a picture of it.
Hello there, :) Any sign of my postcard yet from the UK? This is from the Postcards for Encouragement Swap. I'm wondering why it's taking so long. :) xx I sent it out 19th April. Hope your having a lovely Spring.
Hie Sara!
