About Me

I am a 27 year old stay at home mom who loves all things crafty! I love my God first and foremost, my best friend, husband and soul mate (who luckily are all the same person) Tommy, and my newborn son, Beckett!! I enjoy special time with family and friends, reading, walking, and doing anything creative; including baking, knitting, cooking and gardening. I have a BA in Musical Theatre and just started back at school to become Certified in Holistic Nutrition. I also love to travel all over the world.

I am an absolute hippie at heart. I breastfeed, cloth diaper, garden, walk when possible, compost, eat a diet of high raw, knit, and make just about everything possible myself. I would rather trade goods/services for everything and eliminate money all together. I believe in sharing, reusing, living simply, and enjoying the little things.

I love health food, handmade items, working out, gnomes, writing and receiving letters, my amazing puppy ROSCOE, my guinea pig Moertimer, antiques, left overs (projects not food!) making my own ANYTHING, making beautiful things out of NOTHING and just plain creating!

Favorite Crafts

I love knitting. I do it almost constantly and teach people any chance I get. I just finished a beautiful baby blanket for my son Beckett. I knit for gifts and enjoy praying and wishing well for the person as I knit them something special. I love knitting and hand knit things :)

I just bought an official smash journal. I am so excited to fill it will all things WONDERFUL!

I love art supplies that have been loved. Buttons that have fallen off of an old sweater, an old shirt that has been cut into strips of "loved" fabric and sticker sheets that have only a few left. No need to impress me, especially if it sounds like something I would love. I have learned about myself...

It's even the littlest things in life that I love because I already have the biggest thing. That is my Savior, Jesus Christ. God Bless!! And thanks for swapping!

Wish List

*Washi tape, writing pens, and stamp pads!!

*Long, sincere letters. I'll write back if you ask.

*Stationary, cards, memo sheets, anything good for writing letters :)

*Interesting, Unique, Handmade, or Organic Yarn

*I am a stamp collector. Not only would I like used/unused stamps but also stamp papers, pictures of stamps, stamped images of stamps, lol, any mail related ephemera.

*I would love scraps of interesting fabrics, felt and buttons. I LOVE making stuffies so any bit will help.

*Stickers and embellishments. All types; especially earth tones and one of a kind things.

*Handmade goodies like knit stuffed animals, purses, Homemade accessories or XS clothing.

*Anything hippiesh, organic, recycled, BEAUTIFUL!

*Beckett's nursery theme is sports, and specifically baseball. Anything personalized with his name is an automatic heart.

*Anything Gnomes is an automatic heart! I would especially love stickers, stamped images, or gnome papers :) OR Gnome Softies! :)

Random Facts...

My favorite color is blue. I love monkeys.

I love ziplock bags. I would organize everything in them and I could and I use them over and over and over. I would love for what you send me to be organized in small bags, or just for you to send a few along :)

A personal note always means a lot to me, and if you ask, I would gladly write back. I don't think I could ever have too many pen pals!

My Compassion Kids

My husband and I sponsor and write to four children through Compassion International.

A little girl from Thailand named Ahkheera, who just turned 10, A little boy from Uganda named Ambrose who is 9, a little boy from Bolivia named Jheremy who is 9, and a 17 year old teenage girl from Ethiopia named Semegn. Anything flat with their names written, stamped or stickered on it would be amazing.

I am currently working on themed envies to send them. So if you have any stickers, coloring pages, stamped images, magazine cut outs, bookmarks postcards, or stationary in any of the following themes, I'd so love to send them to them...

*Zoo Animals *Fish/Ocean Animals *Sesame Street

Thanks in advance :)

Stamps

I do collect stamps. I have been enjoying this hobby for about 15 years but go through phases where I do it on and off. I love all stamps!

I collect CHRISTMAS and FLORAL stamps from anywhere. I enjoy USA or International stamps.

In addition to actual stamps I love all postage ephermera. :)

If you'd like to do a private stamp swap I'd love that! Just let me know :)

Comment: Great selection of goodies! I will certainly make some fun ATCs! Thanks for swapping, anytime you need to 'destash' let me know, I think it was a pretty fair trade for 5 stamps..lol
Response: I'm so glad you were pleased! I was hoping it would feel like a "great deal" to both of us :)

Got your letter in today! LOVE your garden gnome! He looks like he's ready for springtime planting! :)

I wanted to share a couple of verses that's I've been really meditating on lately... Lamentations 3:22-23. "The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning."

Brand new day... brand new mercies! How great is our God?! :) Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs!
