I live in Los Angeles with my husband, my 4 kids (ages 20, 23, 26 & 28 - 2 still in college), my dog and my two rabbits. I am a former music teacher and still play the flute & piccolo on a regular basis.

I have been doing all types of crafts for many years. I make and exhibit quilts, knit, cross-stitch, crochet, and sew. I draw and paint, including watercolor, acrylics, and pastel, and take many photographs. I am a member of the Southern California Society for Calligraphy and attend workshops throughout California.

I was introduced to ATCs about 5 years ago in a class with Bernie Berlin. I have been trading monthly at 3 local scrapbook stores, trade at the Rubber Stamp Conventions, and am now trading on-line. I have been a life-long rubber-stamper, card maker, and scrapbooker. I now belong to a Mixed-Media Group that meets once per month and we attend each others exhibits.

I love making books (all different structures) to display my calligraphy and journals.

I enjoy hiking and walking my Siberian Husky named Juneau. I love to read, watch movies, and listen to music. I also like to travel, go to museums, and attend plays, concerts and sporting events.

Anything Asian - Cats, Rabbits, & Dogs (esp. Siberian Husky) - Ephemera - Vintage, Victorian - Sewing & Quilting Themes - Birds, butterflies, nature - Music - sheet, stickers, instruments (esp. flute) - Angels, love, etc. I love coffee and drink way too much! I also like tea (not herbal). Thank you!!!!!

I ALWAYS SEND MY SWAPS. IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE AN ENVELOPE FROM ME, IT HAS BEEN LOST IN THE MAIL. CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY AND I WILL RESEND.

ALSO - If your envelope doesn't have sufficient postage & is returned, please don't ask me why I didn't pay the 20 cents! OF COURSE, I WOULD PAY but the USPS in Los Angeles doesn't even send "postage due" mail to my local post office, let alone to me. Remember: There are 10 million people in Los Angeles County and nearly 4 million in the city of Los Angeles. They told me I'm lucky if I get any of my mail!!!
