About Me

Please message me prior to rating if you have not received my swap in a reasonable amount of time. If I have marked sent; it means the postal system got it on that day. If you choose to not rate swaps, please, as a courtesy, message me that my swap has been received. Thanks!

•Wife, mother of 2 fabulous grown daughters, and a grand to 2 sweet boys.

•Teacher, college proposal writer and a crafter for as long as I can remember.

•Avid volunteer for Red Cross Disaster Services with several completed deployments.

•Master Gardener (...I'm a Taurus, love dirt)

•Postcrosser (how I love receiving cards from around the world...handmades always welcome as well as map cards, recipe cards, architecture, state caps, scenic, national flags and dress, fun, etc.!)

•Traveler (I've been to 17 countries and always keep my 'go bag' packed and ready)

•Vermicomposter

• Traditionalist, my kids say old fashioned, but what do they know!!

Favorite Crafts

Likes: Handmade cards! Woodworking (I love my scrollsaw!), collage, decoupage, sewing...& shame on me as I've yet to make a dotee...but I want one, x stitch, embroidery, decorative painting, screen art, papier mache, nature crafts. And love that "how'd they do that" feeling I get from something new to me. Especially love receiving and learning from your ATC's. Flat out crazy about mixed media and mail art!

Colors: Love all shades of green, blue, and brown.

Don't need: Any more items crocheted or knitted! (those in my family have kept me very well supplied for all seasons & holidays). LOL!

Favorite Music

Classic Rock and I'm something of a blues and jazz fan, too.

Favorite Movies

Not so crazy about going to movies but Netflix and on demand are good buddies. Sleepless in Seattle, Steel Magnolias and the classic Gone with the Wind are some favorites. Yeah, I love a good chick flick! LOL!

Favorite Books

Historical novels both US and European, fiction or non-fiction. How-to Manuals for veggie gardening, landscaping, furniture construction, upholstery, even car repair! Any craft book or magazine I can find!

Favorite Television

Not so much! But I do enjoy watching Amazing Race, CSI, and Good Eats. I also enjoy some things on Discovery, Nat Geo, and the History channels. But, I'd rather read or craft!

Food/Beverage

Please no food or beverage! I am very strict on myself nutritionally, but there was a time that I'd walk 50 miles for a 3 Musketeers bar!!

Makes me happy

Bits & Pieces: DMC floss, fibers, thread, glass beads, sea glass, ribbons of silk, velvet, satin or grosgrain, large tassels, nature inspired note cards, maps, city, scenic, art, funny or handmade postcards, yellowed, stamped vintage pages, pics of great architecture, mixed media, ATC's, stamped images, dolphins and tigers! I'm really easy to please...

What I promise

To follow through on every swap I enter and to communicate with my partners and the swap coordinator should life matters interfere. Further, I will rate promptly and fairly and be as liberal in my ratings as the swap item merits. What I want to receive is a quality item to which you have obviously given time, thought, and effort. I will never expect to receive "extras" and may never send any to you, Extras will never be reflected in my rating of your item. So, please just put your creative energy into the swap item itself! Thank you for reading my profile!

I so wish I had a scroll saw. I had one and loved it! I hope you enjoy your grandkids, I know my mom is crazy about my kids. 17 countries? Wow, I've only been to 2 but my sister has probably seen as many as you and isn't afraid to travel alone even! Congrats and kudos for the Disaster work. Good for you.

You are one of my swappers to read profile and I must say you like a lot of things I do in crafting also. Bravo for all you do for the Disaster units. Don't forget to rate that I commented on this.

Doxie on Aug 8, 2010:

Thank you for sharing your profile! You make me jealous with all the traveling you have done (I've never been outside the US). Also, I totally relate to not being a fan of actually going to the movies. BIG netflix fan here. It's just so much more cozy sitting at home with friends, family or even alone and truly enjoying a movie. Never mind the price difference. And I totally love Gone with the Wind and Steal Magnolias. Anything Dolly Parton is awesome to me; like Smoky Mountain Christmas.~~Thanks again!

Thanks for understanding about the mix-up on this tag. Happy Hunting Season to you and yours. LOL
