We live on one of the remaining dairy farms in Northern Virginia. Between us we have 7 kids & 9 grandchildren. We also have dairy cows, 3 rabbits & chickens. I am a stay at home grandma and love spending time with the grand kids.

My favorite thing to do is garden! I am a Virginia Master Gardener and volunteer time with that program. I also am a 4H leader for my grandson's Cloverbud group. I love to read & dance! I love to play board games my favorites are Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly & board games I can play with my grandkids.

Here on swap-bot I mainly swap postcards, coupons, journals, atc's & deco's. I am here to have a good time swapping & I am trying to be more creative. I will be happy with whatever is sent to me & respect everyone's artistic ability. Because mine is very limited. I work very hard on my ATC's and try my best. But it does not come naturally I have to really think and wait for an idea to come to me.

I love nature & would consider myself a Pagan. I am just starting to get in touch with this part of me. I celebrate the holidays secular but do not have a problem with any religious cards. I love to learn about other religions & cultures. So feel free to send whatever cards you want.

RUBBER STAMPS:

I love rubber stamps that have quotes on them.

1 July 12- I re-made a Postage Stamp Green Booklet for the 1 I have. Since my partner has asked me not to send her a new one I will not send it . 3 Sept. 12 I noticed she took off her comments to me saying she wouldn't accept the booklet. She was very mean about this whole situation that I tried to rectify. I still have a copy of her comments.

Please let me know if you have not received your swap from me before rating a 1 or 3. I will gladly make another one.

I am an easy going person, just let me know if you need more time for a swap and I'll work with you.
