I always send my swaps, so please contact me if you have not received it. I enjoy making people happy, so do let me know (before rating down) if for any reason my swap content did not meet your expectations or the instructions. My rating is very important to me and I want to make it right.

I'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I am Christian and trust in God for the salvation he provides through his son, Jesus.

Hubby and I are retired and enjoy tag sales, thrift stores and flea markets. I love crafting with paper and all kinds of mixed media. We also enjoy the beach and have a small cabin on the Oregon coast.

Come on Spring!

I collect vintage postcards, (3.5 x 5.5", not the continental 4x6") -- Posted or un-posted are fine. I enjoy reading what people wrote 50-75 years ago. Please send vintage cards in an envelope if possible. And, I'd love ONE-ON-ONE SWAPS!

PC Topics to die for: Umbrellas or parasols. Open umbrellas with animals or people. Beach umbrellas are not as fun for me. Also collect mules, birds, cats and chickens and Greeting/holiday, (no Halloween).

I also collect other vintage ephemera: Victorian Trading Cards, Vintage greeting cards, Single Swap Playing Cards (especially cats, owls, and unusual jokers) Postage Stamps. All of my collections include used and unused. I love them all!

I'm a child at heart and enjoy fun, playful themes. I also enjoy vintage era graphics.

Think of Handmade, vintage, part packages, gently used from your stash first. Other people's trash is my treasure LOL.

I'm ready for bright, cheerful Spring colors and prefer muted or vibrant colors over pastels. Bright yellow, lime green, raspberry and purples make me happy. I like "unexpected" color combinations.

I try to be thankful for any gift received, but some things just don't work for me due to my allergies: perfumes, soaps, lotions, candles, and some foods.

Tea and coffee samples are fine.

Please do not send skulls, goth, fairies, nudes, and such. I also don't care much for elves, Santas, fantasy, surreal and cutesy, but will re-gift to someone who has these listed as favorites.
