If you don't receive something from me, I'll make it right. I rate the day it arrives. I am an American missionary living in Ukraine. We love living in Europe. I like to garden, we have a big yard with lots of flowers, a dog and we live in the forest.

For those who like to check dates. Please understand that we are in a little country village. When I mark sent, I've sent. That doesn't mean they've processed it or how long it sits in the box as the p.o. here is closed two days every week. It means I've left it with them.

I teach crafts and scrap booking in Ukraine. I keep an art journal, I draw, ATCs, altered items, beading, mini-books and more. I love vintage anything, though I do not need lace. Post cards preferred: vintage or garden(flowers).

Colors: I like purple, teal, deep green and midnight blue, burgundy, magenta...the jewel tones in general. And I love anything vintage or steampunk.

Selah is our favorite group, praise music in general. We also like some of the oldies. No Christian music here.
