I'm female, in my mid 40s, and married to a Peruvian man. Born and raised in Indiana, USA, I lived in Mexico City, Mexico, from 1983 to November of 2006. Now I live in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, USA. I am happily Roman Catholic (having converted in 2000), and I've got cats.
I speak & write English and Spanish, and I am interested in language and languages in general. I'm currently studying beginning Polish!
Likes/loves include TURTLES, otters, fireflies, dragonflies, robin birds, butterflies, groundhogs, SUNFLOWERS, suns, smiley faces, the color yellow in general, crosswords, mazes, jigsaw puzzles, kaleidoscopes, board GAMES such as Scrabble, visiting MUSEUMS of all kinds, POSTCARDS, especially of typical food / clothes / arts and crafts of different regions and countries, bookmarks, epecially handmade and the FREEBIE ones given out by libraries, museums, bookstores, etc., ART and artistic and artsy craftsy stuff in general; ancient art, cave art, folk art, "primitive" art, and outsider / visionary art are particular favorites, ATCs, and all sorts of snail mail postal joy.
Music is not a really huge part of my life at this time. I enjoy most stuff except jazz and anything very strident. Often what I most enjoy, however, is restful silence!
Adventure, historical, romantic comedy, drama, documentaries, black and white classics, literature classics. NOT horror and nothing too violent or with a lot of gratuitous sex.
I don't watch a whole lot of television besides some news programs, EWTN (Catholic Network), and the History Channel.
Linoleum print carving, drawing, painting, cross stitch, plastic canvas, woodburning, very simple sewing, papercrafts; would love to try a lot more things.

I never received a rating from you for the Notecard Swap that I sent you way back on Sept 18 and I was just wondering if you ever received it and could you please rate me? If you didn't receive it, I would be happy to resend the notecards, just please let me know one way or the other.
I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE OVER AS FOUNDER OF THIS GROUP. I HAVE JUST STARTED A NEW JOB AND CAN NO LONGER DEVOTE AS MUCH TIME TO SWAPBOT AS I USED TO. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BEING THE NEW FOUNDER OF THIS GROUP, PLEASE PM ME. THANKS. BLESSINGS, GYPSY
hi there you were my partner for the quick turnaround bookmark swap, I was just wondering if you've received my post, as I sent it quite a while ago.
Welcome to the Illinois Swappers group! Hope you join the swap we have going, and if you'd like to hostess one of your own, just let me know and I'll make you an officer! :) blessings, Gypsy
Hey Robin! Just sent your vintage/funky children's book via media mail. Although it may take a while, I hope when you do get it, you like 'em! :) Take care.
Finally, a new group swap in So You Want to be a Writer. Check it out! Sign up closes on July 19.
Thanks, Robin, for the surprise envie of bookmarks. That was so kind of you! I especially love the Italian one. :-D
Take good care, Susan

Thank you for joining the plastic canvas group. Any suggestions would be welcome. :) I'm going to work on setting up threads in the forum later. I have no idea what I'm doing.
