Christmas Card Swaps

I'd be happier with card images/messages that are not OVERLY religious--"Merry Christmas" is fine, "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" -- not so much. Thanks!

About Me

I work doing occupational therapy with adults who are mentally ill--and love my work. I get to spend 2 - 3 hours every workday teaching folks to make art...

I'm married, 28 years. We have no kids, but 2 dogs. Our "girls" are English Setters.

I love all colors, with a preference for cool colors. I collect frogs, sheep, whistles shaped like fish (yes, it's an odd thing to collect--my collection is rather small), wool, glass beads and penguins.

I enjoy reading and always have a book or two underway--often one is about knitting, the other a novel or psychology/social science book.

For exercise I swim or ride my bike.

I spend a good deal of time with my 84-year old mother--we do crafts together: beading, cardmaking & rubber stamping mostly, occasionally something different. Sadly my mother is developing dementia, and I'm caught in the dance of sorrow, frustration and treasuring every moment we have together...

Favorite Music

Folk/eclectic--from Joni Mitchell's early stuff to Lucy Kaplansky to Martyn Joseph to Eliza Gilkyson.

I also like Brazilian bossa nova/samba music and some of the older mellow jazz for background music.

Favorite Movies

The Devil Wears Prada, An Inconvenient Truth, My Big Fat Greek Wedding & other "chick flicks", subtitled French comedies, old Bogart/Bacall movies...

Favorite Television

Don't have time to watch more than the news....and don't even do that every day.

Favorite Crafts

paper crafts -- knitting, fulling & felting -- art clay silver -- beading

I make and sell books and greeting cards, knit for my own enjoyment (and gifts for family & friends), and sell/gift some of my silver and beaded jewelry.

Fiber preferences: natural fibers, wool is my favorite, worsted weight or thereabouts...Someday I may learn to spin--I have tons of wool roving and combed top that I also use to make felt.

My husband comments that I have enough wool to last til the next millennium, but I think I could use a bit more...

Comment: They're wonderful! I absolutely love them - especially the ingenious two-in-one! (The translations of Dostoyevsky that I like have loooots of endnotes, and it will make reading SO much easier.)

Comment: Yay! The package arrived! And I've been thinking my door needed a wreath. Now I've got many, many wreath ideas. And since I don't go into that kinda cross stitch much, but I make lotsa stuff for people, the pattern book will also be most useful. Thanks immensely!

Toupti on Jul 22, 2009:

I love personalizing my belongings and I also like reading. To combine both, I came up with the idea of creating a profile related bookmark swap. This swap was created before the group.

Please feel free too visit my Profile Related Bookmark Swap and join.

Hoping we will have a lot of fun because I intend to do a series of them, but they will be within the Bookmarks of all kinds group.

Happy swaps. Toupti =D

We used to live in Portland (about 20 years ago...) My sister still lives there.

One of my high school teachers (from Idaho) moved to West Linn. I wonder if he retired there? Jerry Kuykendall- he was a great teacher and a wonderful person.

Thanks again for the packet!
