You don't choose what you go through, but you can choose how you go through it! Choose optimism!

"A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset"

My word of the year is:

Please message me before poorly rating if you are missing anything from me. I am an honorable and fair swapper (see my ratings and amount of swaps I've completed!) and will always strive to make my partners happy!

Hi! My name is Gabi! I'm a happily married, mom of 2 girls (both in college). I love paper crafts, my planner (Hobonichi Cousin a5 and Weeks), journals, Iced coffee, making friends, traveling, photography. My husband and I are WWII Living Historians and own a traveling WWII Museum. We attend many events each year displaying our full WWII FIeld Hospital and our fully stocked, WWII 1942 Ambulance! We are also very active cosplayers in the 501st Legion (Star Wars Charity Organization)

• Have a look at my MERCARI shop !

I list LOTS of things, including planner stickers, planner stuff, clear stamps, stationery, embellishments, scrapbooking and journaling stuff -- take a look - might see something you need, want or have to have!

My heart belongs to my three doggos... Comet (Pomsky), Astro (tiny unknown mix) and Kirby (Pomeranian)

I am a DISNEY WORLD FANATIC!

-- FOR JJJ Let's Make a Junk Journal --

This year (2024) I am not going with any specific themes in my journal. I'd love anything you would like to create for me in any color scheme, any theme, any style!

My journals are all different sizes so anything in any size works just fine for me! I use a lot of regular sized Traveler's Notebooks.

My Planners for 2024 are a Hobonichi Cousin A5 and a Hobonichi Weeks

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ True Antique Ephemera is what I love most! Most of my ephemera collection spans from mid 1800s to the 1950s

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ I collect Starbucks gift cards. I love the unique ones from different states and cities, countries and holiday ones (all of them!)

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっI love vellum stickers and clear backed stickers - not a fan of planner to-do or List stickers.

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ Medieval, Regency, Victorian and WWII Eras are all areas of my interest and ones in which I do living history impressions.

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ I love CHINESE NEW YEAR Red Envelopes! I collect them and have many different ones (Not just Red!) from all over the world.

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ POSTCARD SWAPS

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ When joining swaps that are just for writing postcards - I really like all sorts of themes -- I'd love one from where you live or depicting something special about your region, state, province, country etc.
