Hi! I'm Jen...I'm 40-something... I live just a bit north of Pittsburgh,PA ...Go Steelers! I Love Swap-Bot! What a great way to meet nice people from all over the world, make crafts,get FUN & Interesting mail, while having lots of fun!

I love my dogs. The pic on my profile is my Jezzie- she has a brother Buddy. Jez was adopted from HappyTails Humane. Buddy found us -- we rescued him from a life of abuse(he's got b.b gun pellets under his skin) & living in a field. I spoil them every chance I get!

I would have to say that my favorite craft is rubber stamping. Then of course, card making & scrapbooking would naturally follow.
Other paper-crafts, like paper quilling, paper piecing, stenciling, etc., are all very enjoyable. Shopping for paper & supplies is almost as fun as making the craft .
I also love to shop for yarn....to support my crocheting habit. my newest craft is cross stitch- I'm not very good yet but I'm trying! I like to sew, and just about any needlecraft out there. I'm just getting into beading & jewelry making. There's just not enough time to try everything!

My surroundings are decorated with wolves, bears, moose, etc...Even my kitchen is done in "Naturewood".Spring and fall are my favorite times of the year.
