About Me

12/26/2017

I wish I could say life is less crazy, but it's not especially with the holidays coming up all too quickly. I don't have the time to swap here like I used to and that makes me sad. I will participate in some here and there when time permits.. I hope to be back fully someday. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.

Hello! Welcome to my little corner of the world. I'm a creature of the night aka a night owl. I love the night, moon and stars. The night is truly magical, beautiful and peaceful. I love being silly and laughing. I love deep discussions. I like open-minded people.

Comment: Thank you for a great envelope and the smashbook items. I haven't used perfect pearls, so it's neat to see them in action. Thank you! :-)
Response: Well, it certainly took the LONG scenic route to get to you. LOL I'm so glad it finally arrived and that you like the envies and Smash book goodies. I have 4 or 5 bottles of perfect pearls and rarely use them. Bad me. ;) Thank you for the heart. :)

Comment: Thanks for the groovy envie - the evil postal worker mangled it a bit but all is well. Thanks so much for the goodies inside. Smiley face emoji here!
Response: Ugh. I hope it wasn't too mangled. I did worry about it some because of the thicker picture I put on the front. I'm glad you like it though and the goodies inside. Thank you for the heart. :)
