DeMarie

My name is Rebecca and I am 37 years old and live in the great state of Iowa (really, I love it here.) Anywho, I am married and have 3 kiddos and the majority of my time is spent taking care of my 4 people and 3 animals but as often as I can I try to fit some me time in here and there. My favorite thing to do is write to and make paper crafts for the children I sponsor through a world aid organization (I can only send things made of paper and no bigger than 8 1/2x11 and 1/4 in thick). I love those kids like they were my own. I really LOVE getting fun stuff in the mail and that's what led me here. I'm new to swapping but am eager to jump right in and give it a shot.

I love books. Classics for reading and vintage children's books for the illustrations. Beatrix Potter is one of my favorites.

All things paper~ stickers, stationary, vintage, maps, take-out menus, address labels, note cards, post cards, handmade envelopes, children's vintage book pages, mail art. Anything, really, will make me happy.
