FieryCanuck

Hello from the We(s)t Coast of Canada! I live here with my husband, 5 kids and 3 cats and am, what you call, indoorsy (despite living by the ocean and the mountains). I love writing, creating, reading, napping, drinking tea, and listening to music and dancing in my living room. :) My favourite things to do is to make cards and send snail mail! I have been penpal'ing for years in the traditional sense (writing long letters) and find an absurd amount of happiness sending things! I am a positive encouraging person who loves to make people smile! :)

**my daughter has an account as well and we live together, so if you come across both of us and wonder about the same addresses, that is why! She and I are similar, but you will quickly see we have different styles and crafting skills! :)

I love papercrafts and am a cardmaker (my favourites are working with rubber stamps, water colouring, and heat embossing ...see my IG page listed above) @tHartInk

Journaling is another favourite of mine ---traditional writing as well as travel books -- I like learning new styles and techniques. I love shabby/ vintage/ scrappy styles.

My favourite book is Pride & Prejudice. I also love historical fiction (love Liz Curtis Higgs' Highland series & T.L.Higley). And fantasy (like Chronicles of Narnia and Donita K. Paul)

my favourite movies are Disney's Beauty & the Beast (animated and the live action), the LOTR trilogy and Pride & Prejudice (2005). I also love Anne of Green Gables, Princess Bride, and Sherlock Holmes series by Guy Ritchie.

I don't watch TV. Except for hockey -- when I can find a game and it's not too crazy loud at home. I'm a Canucks fan. :)

Music is the most important thing to me (besides snail mail!!!) I love listening to CityAlight, Sovereign Grace, Crowder, Sarah Sparks, Imagine Dragons, Bastille, Tommee Profitt, old skool Newsboys and any music that has a strong beat and makes me move.

To be honest, I don't have a lot of dislikes and am not picky. Receiving mail is fun so don't stress! Whatever I don't use, I pass on.

Things that make me happy: (in no particular order)

*tea (white, herbal, earl grey)

*washi (the traditional kind not decorative tape)

*buttons (with pins-- not the kind you sew with!)

*stationary/pens

*chocolate

*heart shaped things

*lettering

*black liquorice

*cats (don't hate me but I'm not a dog person at all, even though they're cute, lol)

*butterflies

*vintage papers (even faux handmade vintage)

*glittery/shiney things

*leaves

*Bible verses and quotes

*vellum

*flowers

*crochet ribbon & paper doilies

*Canadiana stuff (eg: Roots, old HBC)

*little pockets/envelopes for journals (like glassine)

*gnomes, faeries and cottagecore

*Classic Winnie the Pooh

*homesteading (I dream of having my own small farm!) gardening, herbal medicines, apothocary, husbandry, self sufficient living, old wives tales

*memes

My favourite colour is yellow followed by grey, orange, and green.

If you speak a different language other than English, I would love to learn a word or phrase! Tell me about traditions or what it's like where you live! I love learning about other cultures and families!

I don't like vanilla or heavily scented things, horror stuff, witchcraft or ants.
