About Me
I am a native Floridian now living in the midwest, and always missing the ocean. I am a Christian, a wife, a speech/language pathologist, a member of Toastmasters International and a volunteer for the Alzheimer's Association. I have a Westie (dog), and too many activities and hobbies, including public speaking, paper arts, exchanging mail art, flea markets and resale shops, reading, hot tea, decorating around the house and indoor gardening, cooking, walking. I love meeting people from different countries, learning about their cultures, trying their food, etc. Likes: Sea shells/beach/ocean, hot tea, house plants, art museums, science museums, anachronisms like fountain pens and skeleton keys, colors: sage greens, turquoise, red.
Favorite Crafts
Origami, rubber stamping, visual journals, mail art, ATCs, beaded jewelry. I'm starting to learn some decorative knotting, too.
Favorite Music
Pop/rock of the 70s and 80's, "space music" (as in "Music from the Hearts of Space" radio program), smooth jazz, classical, and a little blue grass.
Favorite Television
Merlin, Regenesis (Canadian SciFi), Star Trek and Star Gate series, Gifted Man
Favorite Books
I read a lot of non-fiction related to my various interests. Love Barbara Hodgeson's beautifully illustrated novels. If you like Nick Bantock, check her out!

Thank you for the lovely angeled ATC for the It's About Time swap! That was the first ATC swap I had done on Swap-bot and it was disappointing that it was also the first one I had been flaked on. Thanks for doing this for me!
Merry Christmas!

GREAT idea on the anachronism mail art swap! I'm giving you a star for that for sure - and thanks for assigning partners promptly, too.
Wow, Thanks for your envelope. I really love the Kokeshi stamp of the little girl. Very spectacular. Peace! Nephi
