Nov 28, 2016: I've been invited to join a missions trip to Haiti May 2017, where I would be working in a missionary hospital for a week. Looking forward to this opportunity to use my gift to help others who don't have the health care we have here.

First and foremost, I am a mother, grandmother, and Christian. I work full-time as an RN.

I have 4 children, only 1 teenager left at home; and 4 grandchildren. I love my kids and ADORE spoiling my grandbabies.

I changed employers this year and am now working my dream job as an RN in maternity and pediatrics at a local hospital. God is good!

I love to crochet, scrapbook, Project Life & read. I love genealogy & history. My favorite books are usually history or historical fiction. I don't like romance, harlequin, horror books. I collect things with blueberries. I love teas, but I'm allergic to cinnamon. I also love zentangle and bookmarks, especially home-made ones.

I love Maine. One branch of my family is from Downeast Maine, I've lived there and visit every year. So I love Maine lighthouses, lobsters, moose (and blueberries!).

My favorite colors are royal blue, purple, pink, turquoise & sky blue.

I belonged to swap-bot some years ago and had years of wonderful swaps; now I am starting over!

Crafts I enjoy:

crocheting

scrapbooking

pocket scrapbooking

zentangle

drawing

watercolor painting

I love to receive:

address labels

little scraps of paper

clear or rubber stamps

papers with stamped images

unusual color markers

postcards

handmade cards

bookmarks (bought or handmade)

Love love love inchies & twinchies

I belong to paperbackswap.com where I've traded hundreds of books. Love love love the site.

I have done art journals through 1001 Journal project & 100s of ATC swaps in the past through other websites, but love that swap-bot has so many options of swaps at one website.

I am looking forward to Round Robin types of swaps. Oh, I'm just looking forward to everything here!
