About Me

I am a mother of two beautiful girls. I love antiques, art, music and the outdoors.

I enjoy swapping with other artists and crafters. It's always fun to come home from work and find a special package waiting for me in the mail box.

I post my swaps on Flickr, (sometimes before they are shipped), so if you like to be surprised, please keep this in mind.

I ALWAYS send my swaps out on time, so if for some reason you do not receive something, please contact me. Thank you!

Favorite Music

I'm a rocker. I love hard rock, classic rock and alternative hits from the 80's.

Favorite Styles/Colors

I love vintage-artsy-style items and natural materials. I love mixed media art and collage.

I enjoy making and receiving vintage/artsy style ATCs, inchies, journals and altered art.

I also like to make and receive Zetti style ATCs.

My favorite color is green (although I have very little of it), and I I love all earthtones. I also like bright fun colors!!!

I put a lot of time and effort into my swaps, and I like to receive swapped items that have been well made and nicely packaged.

Favorite Crafts

My favorite hobbies include paper crafts, scrapbooking, card making, quilting, gardening and genealogy.

I also love to collect vintage buttons and use them in my art.

Things I Like

Vintage Buttons Vintage Images Vintage Ephemera Ribbon Patterned Cardstock and Specialty Papers Jewels Anything Shabby Chic Old Maps Fossils Antique Text Books Vintage Cook Books Punches Rubber Stamps Art Books Anything by Michael Parkes (my favorite artist)

Comment: Thanks so much for the inchies and the recipe! I have to ask, what technique did you use? Love them! and the notecard they were in too!
Response: Yeah! Glad you liked them. Here's my technique: I layered images of vintage food items over vintage book pages (with shorthand text), then covered them with clear crackle medium. Once that dried, I gave them a layer of walnut distress ink.
