About Me

Currently under construction...

Hi, I'm Jen - a 45 year-old married, working (nurse practitioner in hematology), mom of 2 (Mathilde, 8 and Oliver, 5).

I'm returning from a hiatus of a few months, during which I tried to focus on the things that really matter (children, spouse, home) - and decided that crafting and fun mail IS what really matter! At least, in part.

In any event, I miss swapping and mail. So, I'm back! (And, I'm looking for 2-3 new penpals :)

Favorite Crafts

Making messes

Mail Art

ATCs

mixed media everything

Journals/planners (I use a Midori travelers' notebook)

sewing

would love to learn watercolor painting

Stuff I like

New Ideas

Bad advertisements

Foreign ephemera

Nature (mushrooms, insects, plant life)

Fish and sea-life

Nurses/medical/anatomy

Colors: Green! Earth tones, neutrals, brights in obnoxious combinations. Don't care for: purple, pastels, cornflower blue, mauve.

Green/Simple living, minimalism - the idea at least!

Exercise/Fitness (trying!)

Buddhism, mindfulness, kindness

Stuff I don't like

Glitter and confetti

The colors you used are one of my favorite color palettes and the decorations on the outside of the tag front are really wonderful. Thanks so much for a wonderful swap and such a fun bunch of stuff to add to my stash!

Comment: as busy as you were, what an awesome journal. I knowthis took time our of your busy day to do. Give yourself a pat on the back. It was a work of art! What I know is that someday, you will be an empty nester and you won't remembers these feelings of being torn from everyones demands. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I am impressed that you spin yarn! What a precious gift. Look for some spring buds. Its coming.

Comment: Jennifer, once again, a beautifully decorated envelope ( even the postage stamps are darling!). I love, love these Christmas themed catalog card pockets! Each one is so beautiful! I love your work! Even though each one is equally lovely, I have a soft spot in my heart for the one with the deer. And, I think the inserts are great and match just fine! The card you made is adorable... I love it! Thank you so very much for such a great swap!

Hi Jen thank u so much for this beautiful art journal!!! I cried! I have never gotten emotional over a swap before but I really wanted one of these journals and have not had the time to make one myself and wow you did such a beautiful and creative job, I have literally been showing EVERYONE I come in contact with lol!! Thank you for putting such love into this gift for me, you are amazing.

Hello! Jen. Just wandering through your profile to do a profile check for the Group: Artisan ATCs. You have been swapping here for 6 years! That is so awesome! I like that you spin yarn. My Aunt used to weave (she's in England). I love your children's names! I use art/crafts as my relaxation.. It is definitely an important part of my life! Oh, Welcome to the group! We are a wonderful and talented craft collective... I look forward to swapping with you! :-)
