My name is Diane and I live in Anoka MN. I had lived in Wisconsin for 18 years and did not like it there at all. I was born and raised in New Jersey, that is where my heart is but my home is in Minnesota since 1999.

My hobbies are crocheting amigurumi, watching Hulu, learning rock painting and starting a kindness rock garden and postcrossing. I love to organize things and big projects are my favorite, I am always up for the challenge. I am not into traveling, in fact I get panic attacks when I am in the car on a highway (passenger only as I can no longer drive.) I enjoy my own shower, food, bed and surroundings more than going places. However, I have gone on many trips and have enjoyed them, once I was there and the traveling part was over.

I have been collecting postcards since October 2013 when I got started in postcrossing. com group. I remember being so excited to get my first postcard...the wait was so long at first and then finally they started coming and now I send over 80 a month. Sending postcards is as much fun as receiving them.

I ONLY LIKE WRITTEN AND STAMPED POSTCARDS... A BLANK ONE IS SAD ONE. I DO NOT LIKE VINTAGE (3X5) CARDS AT ALL THEY ARE SMELLY AND THEY TEAR EASILY AND THEY ARE JUST NOT SOMETHING I LIKE AT ALL. I LOVE GIVING HEARTS SO I WILL GIVE TO THOSE WHO DO NOT SEND VINTAGE. I LIKE TEXT NOT STAMPS AND NONSENSE ON CARDS SO THERE IS A HEART FOR YOU AS WELL FOR WRITING MORE THAN ONE LINE ON YOUR CARD.

Please save your homemade cards for those who like them as well. I don't. I send REAL postcards and I prefer them as well.

I binge watch medical tv dramas and law tv dramas, I don't watch movies as a rule they are not long enough and I like to multitask. It takes me a long time to find series and I would be constantly searching for a good movie and that would take up too much time.

Natalie Wood is my all time most favorite actress, loved her since I was a teenager and first saw her in Splendor in the Grass, such a tear jerker.

Reo Speedwagon, Bon Jovi, Billie Eilish are my fave musical artists.

I love Gone with the Wind and Scarlett.
