About Me

wife, mom, sister, daughter, daughter-in-law, friend, Christian, English teacher. I like to listen to CBC (Canadian equivalent of NPR.) I read. Mostly fiction - anything from classics, poetry, chick lit, YA fiction, mysteries, some science fiction. I love poetry and quotes and have interests in languages and linguistics and etymology. I'm a letter writer. I like hiking, camping and being near water and trees.
I like food and growing my own veggies and I bake for fun and eat it for fun, too. I drink coffee. And tea. Colours are pretty. I like looking at maps and planning trips. One day I think I'll take one, or 2. In the meantime, postcards are fantastic.

Listening & Watching

Stars, Sufijan Steven, A Northern Chorus, Simon & Garfunkle, Mamas and Papas, The Proclaimers, Holly Cole, Waterdeep, Be Good Tanyas, Speech, Steve Bell, Starflyer 59, U2, Barenaked Ladies, Jonathan Inc., James Taylor City on a Hill. I also tend to enjoy Jazz and Folk and am often easy to please.

Currently TV: Corner Gas, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Bones, House

Films: French Kiss - The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe - Casablanca - Best in Show - Love Actually...

Favorite Crafts

  • Collage and scrapbooking - so all sorts of papers, ephemera, stickers, images, phrases, etc. are great. I particularly like black and white and have discovered that I'm not a huge fan of cutesy things.

  • Knitting - esp. socks and scarves, though I've done a few sweaters too. I work with most kinds of wool and yarn - including the funky stuff and am particularly fond of bamboo needles.

    • Poetry postcards - because who doesn't like to receive a poem in the mail?

    • Doodling & random Paper Art...

  • I'm dabbling in ATCs.

  • I like collecting (and using) postcards and beautiful & simple greeting cards.

  • I'm just beginning to gather materials to start on altered books and other altered art so all sorts of papers and ephemera make me happy.

Favourite Things

Paper, letter mail, stamps, hot chocolate, herbal teas, chap stick, colours - jeweled tones, earthy tones, collages, recipes, gardening, sweets, poetry, shiny things, beautiful things

Admin

I've been amazed and impressed with the generosity of fellow swappers and mean to continue sharing the love!

That said: I've never flaked. I send things out on time and if I don't (by extenuating circumstances) I will ALWAYS let you know. (I've posted late once - and that was by one day.) Since Canada Post can be strange, please allow some extra time for travel. PLEASE let me know if something goes AWOL and I'll do my best to fix the situation.

Hi Swappers! I would like to apopligize to all of you for not recieving your funky art from me yet! I send it a few days after the swap date and much to my surprise all of them came back to me yesterday! Not to mention they were all soaking wet and smudged and pretty much destroyed! I am crushed! But have no fear ! New funky mail art is headed your way!!! Thank you so much for understanding!!

peace love and life jenna richey BobbyMcgee
