NOTE: 01/2021 I have Vision Problem (double vision in one eye from a past head injury) When handwriting, PLEASE PRINT as I have difficulty reading some cursive penmanship & please use only black or blue ink pens.

NOTE: I now have a 3 - This should have been at least a 5 - I met all the swap rules & mailed before time - Please read my response below - ) This was a swap for Fall Items, which I sent, This is All she had listed for crafts......doing red work, making baskets, crosswords and jumble puzzles???? NOTE: The Host of this swap contacted the ADM. to explain, she did not follow the rules..for rating. I guess some people are just unhappy and expect more from others?

  I have started a Reading Journal... I LOVE Pinterest - Spend too many hours looking all the interesting boards! Learning to "write" a few short stories and just simple essays - I enjoy writing by prompts or by looking at a picture & turning it into a story.

  Do some sewing but mostly by hand. Like to make Fabric Wall Hangings - love to embroidery

Still enjoy painting on the mini canvas with Acrylics . Have also gotten caught up in the "Adult Coloring" books....find myself coloring when I should be doing other things....:)

Always have been a Big Movie Buff - I also love to read, always have a book or 2 waiting on me during my quite time.

Have been a "Movie Buff" all my life !!!

A variety of movies, not just one type - And have a nice collection of DVD's & Bluerays....

Tombstone

Beetle Juice
