Hello, very nice to meet you - I'm really excited to be a part of this new paper crafting group. I actually think I've sent you something, or maybe you sent me something - either way I remember reading your profile before. I just recently discovered the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon - I've seen all of the TV seasons and just finished book one. I have become a bit obsessed! I don't know many others who are watching or reading so if you like those too, maybe we can chat about it :) l look forward to getting to know you better!

Hi! I'm excited to be a part of this new paper crafting group with you. I just love making new things with paper and being creative. You sound like a very interesting and creative person. You certainly have experienced many different things in your life. (The pirates! Hahaha!) I also love nature and birdwatching like you. I like to watch the blue jays in my area (Canada) I don't know if you have them in Florida. I have only been to Florida once, and I must say it was FAR too hot for me. Just not used to it! Haha. Can't wait to swap with you in our new group. For: getting to know you--Addicted to Paper group.

Hi Cathy! I saw we have a lot of similar interests, I also love dragons and cryptozoology, for lack of a better term for all of it! Working at the Renaissance fair must have been fun! Can't wait to swap with you!

thank you so much for the beautiful letter/message..i totally love your writing skills and the advice that you shared. You are an amazing person.. stay sweet, jacianne

It must be awesome to be retired. More time to do the things you like and to craft:) I had to look up hypertufa (cement) planters. Never heard of it before, looks good. I also had to look up dirty pour acrylic painting. Gheeee, you are doing some less know crafts!:))

for the "Getting to know you swap".

Hello! I was just looking at other players in the Handmade PC swap and noticed that you are a fellow Floridian AND tomorrow is your birthday. It's early but...
