I've been retired for 19 years, and recently celebrated my 74th birthday. Sure don't feel that old! I was a programmer/analyst and before that I was a professional librarian. I've been crafting most of my life, and have been in several trading groups for the past ten to fifteen years. I swap postcards, ATCs, skinnies, and other items. I enjoy most paper crafts, crocheting, drawing and painting, and any other thing that looks interesting to me.

all paper crafts --- cardmaking, bookmarks, etc. Love ATCs and just starting to do inchies, twinchies, etc. I've been enjoying zentangles, and am addicted to them... so relaxing! I enjoy iris folding, quilling, and other cardmaking techniques. Also starting to try making books. I've liked to crochet most of my life, and especially like thread crochet. I do needle tatting, and rarely knit. I'm also interested in Chinese brush painting, collage and so on -- and on, and on.

all kinds of papers; embellishments for cards and ATCs; trims - rick-rack, lace, ribbons, appliques, etc; I like postcards of cities, lighthouses, courthouses, landmarks, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and beautiful scenery.
