I am a HEALER in many ways. I love nature and all it offers. My flower garden is my inspiration and my sanctuary. I like to paint, scrapbook, make simple little jewelry like earrings and I love music of all forms. During the day, I am a nurse and in the evening, I am my disabled fathers nurse. I have cared for him many, many years. I am excited about starting this venture to enhance my creativity that I let slip away. I am a very creative person and one of the things I like the most is to give little gifts to family, friends and co-workers. I turned 51 this year but am living through it. I live in a small town but love the big city. New York is one of my favorite places. I also enjoy all things from Scotland and participate in Renn Faires. I do hand tooled leather work such as journals, bracers, and items for Faire. I taught my hubby this and he now has his own business. If it is any thing you can do with your hands and mind, I'm there. I love horror movies, long baths, good books,good wine, mornings in my garden and good friends.
MUSIC - I love all music, 70's is my favorite, jazz, Celtic, and many new artists. My husband was in a band for years so I am a groupie at heart. Beatles, Stones, Cream, Bread, Guess Who, Bad Company, Eric Clapton, Moody Blues, James Taylor, Indian Flute, on and on!
FOODS - I love it all! My husband is a chef so we eat alot of different things. The more exotic the better. I love different chocolates and shortbread cookies. It's not food but there is nothing better than a glass of red wine with my food! I also love Starbucks coffee and all coffee flavored dark chocolate.
COLORS - I love black and white but in my home there are alot of burgandies. I decorate with a world travel flare as my husband has traveled alot.

SCENTS - I like the smells of Rain, Musk, Woody, Fireplace, Leather, Fresh Coffee, Fall, Cinnamon. I dislike floral smells, food related candles like cookies, cherry, strawberry, etc...
FAMILY - I have no children but watch my 4 year old great nephew and 6 year old great niece every weekend. They are the love of my life.We have great adventures each weekend. Sage loves Fairies and we have turned my back yard into a little girls dream world. We love fairy wings and collecting fairies. We spend rainy days making fairy books and journals. Little Trent plays along as a Super Hero or a Pirate. Being involved in the Renaissance Faires has increased the little ones love of adventure, history and make believe. We are all currently learning Italian for the faire!

Ok, i have all my littel Halloween deco's that you sent me in my lovely box ready for Saturday. I can't wait! I can't get over how wonderful you were to send me so much stuff! You're one in a million that's for sure. I am finishing up my box for you, and i hope you will enjoy it. I'm enjoying using everything you sent me and my mom in law especially loved that fabulous vintage tin you found at the thrift store. Thanks again, and Happy Halloween!
All I can say is a big WOW and an even bigger thank you!! I received your Mystery Pouch yesterday and I was blown away by the things in it. I've never seen stuff so cool...and so very me!! It's without a doubt the most awesome package I've ever gotten. I can't wait to use the various items in my medieval bedroom! Thank you, thank you Mona. It's a shame we can't give hearts for Tags. <3<3<3<3<3<3
Thanks much for joining the Handmade Holiday Swap! We are very happy to have a great swapper like you aboard!
Bless you for joining my medieval bookmark swap, it's always so nice to have you in my swaps!
Well was I surprised with what the mailman left for me today. Why, I felt like a little girl left loose in a candy store. That was sooo sweet of you Mona. I'm sure I will put everything to good use. Thanks again.
Sorry I haven't posted until now I have been so busy finishing up a journal, but OMG Mona, you spoil me! The pouch you sent me for the KoA tag makes the top 5 list for all time favourite pouches!!! The heavenly soap, and bath confetti, all sorts of crafting supplies for ATc's, embellishments, charms, a little notebook, trinkets, the list, seriously would go on and on, I can't do it justice but suffice to say it blew me away and I cannot thank you enough, if I can I may post some pics on the forum. My favorite thing though for some reason (and I carry it with me all the time now was the fairy penny)! So pretty! Thank you again and again Mona, you rock! And thank you for the cards to my mom again, I am going to see her today and will take them with me. Bless you.
Thank you so much for your sweet note! You are the nicest person!! :)
Thank you!!! For sending my mom4 wonderful note cards and telling her about your days, your garden, etc. I read a couple of them to her and she said she was going to re-read and finish reading the rest of them tonight. She says she is sorry that she cannot write well anymore to reply, but it really touched her heart to see people caring about her. She is going to show my sister from Arkansas all of her cards when she visits next month! Thank you again! Sher
Thank you very much for the lovely pouch and tag game items. I love every bit of it. I will post some pictures soon in the Keepers of Avalon forum. Thanks again!
Opps, here is the comment Every once in awhile on swapbots I get a partner that really goes beyond the requirements of the swap and that is the case with Mona. Not only a lovely aTC but a note pad and cards with envies all tied and wrapped beautifully. Thanks so much Mona this makes up for some of the duds I have gotten. Rosalie
