About Me

I am recently retired and now have the time to truly stop and "smell the roses"! I was diagnosed with both breast and kidney cancers eleven years ago. What an adventure that was! Early detection saved my life and I have much to be thankful for. I am quite fond of unique and antique items. More often than not I will find something interesting at an antique mall, flea market, or garage sale that will call out to me. I've purchased a multitude of dustable "treasures" that way. I enjoy decorating for all holidays, but Halloween is my favorite. I like to do counted cross stitch on aged linen using reproduction sampler patterns and/or primitive charts. I'm a big fan of note papers, ribbons, and vintage stickers, too.

Comment: Sylvia, I loved my ATC and all the extras. Most of all, I loved your letter! That was great and so nice to get to know you better. I must include a letter now and again when I send things to people...so personal and appreciated! Did you cut the cut-outs yourself? And I will try the recipe one of these days. Thanks so much!
Response: I did the cut-outs on a Silhouette Cameo. It's a new toy that I have come to love. I'm glad that you liked everything that I sent winging your way. Thank you for the rating . . . and the heart, too!

Comment: thanks it was a joy to get your letters each week. I really enjoyed the way you wrote-typed. Todays was just as cool. I like the kitty-related items and the stamps are interesting. I have not used stamps much but cannot wait to give these a try.
Response: It was a pleasure putting items together for you. I hope you will enjoy the stamps as much as I do. Of course, I had to purchase a package for me as well! I hope we meet on Swap Bot again some time in the near future. Thank you for the rating . . . and the heart, too!
