Snoopy

A little about myself, I'm a mom living in Alaska. I love collecting things! All things vintage send a thrill through my bones! I love dumpster diving, junk shopping and antiquing. I love camping, hanging out with my husband and kids, making art, painting. I have a small Etsy shop that I sell a few of my paintings and small creations. I have two growing, active boys, one golden retriever and two kitties.

I like having my dog sleep on the bed at night, having kids playing in the house and watching Pride and Prejudice on rainy days...or "You've got mail".

I always send my swaps out on time...so if you haven't received something from me, just send me a message so I can make sure you get your swap. I read peoples profiles and try to make the package fun for you. So many of my swaps have been tailored to my profile, and it is such a fun package when that happens! I'd like to be able to do that for others too! :)

I'll do my best to be a great swap partner!
