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)

knitting

spinning yarn

sewing

would love to learn watercolor painting

cooking (vegetarian)

Stuff I like

New Ideas

Learning about other people

Weird or Quirky

Dark and Strange

Bad advertisements

Foreign ephemera

Nature (mushrooms, insects, plant life)

Gnomes and Vikings

Hand-lettering and Calligraphy

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

Attempts at religious conversion

Donald Trump

Racism

Custard

Maggots

Glitter and confetti

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!

Comment: Jen: If I could give you 10 starts I would! This is truly one of the most amazing and well put together swaps I have received in a long time. The cover is fantastic and you tucked so many wonderful goodies inside - love all the die cuts and papers and vintage book pages. Everything is just perfect. Thank you so much for such a brilliant swap!

Comment: First of all, I want to apologize for taking so long to rate you. Jennifer, it’s so fun receiving from you. I absolutely love these envelopes and the way you decorated them is so wonderful... I love all the fall colors and the way you collaged the cute images and critters (especially love the squirrels!). I think I am going to have a hard time parting with these cuties! And, oh my goodness... thank you so very much for the darling fall stamp set...so stinkin cute! I can’t wait to use them in my crafts. Such a wonderful swap! Thank you again!

Thanks so much for your finished touch to the ATCs for the Buddy Card Starter Challenge swap. I'm liking the frog too. I like the texture on the here & now one.

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! :-)
