Hello from Miami!

We are currently renovating a 1950s house... everything from replacing the roof to refurbishing the 1950s terrazzo... about to tackle the 1970s Pepto bathroom next!

I do like postcards and I have quite a collection, more based on theri design rather than any particular theme (like travel, advertisements, etc.).

If you asked me if I would rather read a book or do just about anything else, the answer will be: READ!

Other likes:
birds, art cards, watercoloring, gardening, the color blue (but really all the colors!) photography, writing, pen pals, turkish coffee, anything related to educating children (I homeschool my older twin sons - they are finishing first grade, I also have a 4 year old son), cooking/baking, following the markets/trading stocks, street art, and last but certainly not least: dark chocolate.

Comment: Wow I wish I could give you 10 hearts! I love the little book! I saw the youtube video on making those out of 1 sheet of paper but haven't tried it myself. Yours is fantastic. I also loved the Ginger Chews, I'm a huge fan of ginger! And the gold paint pen, I go through those so quick. Thank you! xoxoxo

Comment: I think I saw the movie version of P&P a long time ago, but I can't remember. I have to see it again. I am reading the book for the first time now. I have only ever read Northanger Abbey and that is because I lived in London at the time and visited Bath. I read Lord of the rings too. I recently saw Les Miserables and loved it. I bought the book, but have not read it yet. I live about 3 hrs from the city, it is more country here. It is nice that you asked this, because usually when I tell people that I live in New York, they usually think the city. Wow I can't believe you were in the city during hurricane Sandy!!! That must have been tough. Thank you for the book recommendations and the sunshine!!! It is still struggling here to stay nice.

Hello Laura!

I was your partner for the Tell Me About your Day swap. I really enjoyed your letter and will write back to you. Right now I'm in the UP visiting relatives on my Spring Break, but I will send a letter out to you zippity quick once I have returned home. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hey there! Me, again! I am your partner for the 12x12 Mini Book swap! I never have made one so I think it will be a challenge! Let me know if there is any particular theme you like or don't like!

Hello Laura, Here is one of my favorite bible quotes... Matthew 19:26 With God, all things are possible

indygirlfriend on Mar 16, 2013:

Hi! I am one of your partners in the Fav Bible Quotes swap. One of my favorite verses and blessings is found in Ephesians 3. Paul wrote so beautifully,assuring us of His great love....

And I pray that you being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

I pray that this is encouraging to you today! Deb

Thank you so much for the thoughtful package to help make up for the flaking in the homeschool swap!

SkipsStylishPixie on Mar 14, 2013:

Hello!! :) I mailed off the first part of your Drink Eat and Read with a penpal package. And realized I left an important part of it on my couch. So, I sent it out today, and it should just be a day or so behind the original package! Just wanted to let you know in case you were wondering why the first one was funny! :D I hope you enjoy! :D

I mailed off your cake pen pal swap today. I don't know how long it will take to get to you but it is on its way!

Hello! I sent your Newbie Niceties #2 envelope on July 15th. It was returned to me today stating "Return to Sender- Addressee Unknown." Can you please advise me what to do?
