I am usually early in mailing out trades. If you haven't received mine in a decent amount of time, please let me know. I try to make every trade a happy one for YOU! If it is late, it is definitely the mail system.

Hi! My name is Deborah, and I just turned 54 years old. I have three adult children and two grandchildren, one of which was born July 2023. We have several Marine and Army members in our family, and we are super proud of them. I have had many serious health issues including cancer, sepsis, and a time on life support. I consider family, friends, and making new friends the #1 blessing in my life. I'm a very easygoing person, and I do not sweat the small stuff. I am not easily offended. I believe in putting kindness out in the world.

Making art is therapeutic for me and it makes me very happy to share the things I create/collect and hopefully brighten someone's day. These swaps are meant to be FUN. I'm not here to read postmarks or to critique art skills.

Crafts I Enjoy: artist trading cards, collage, mixed media, gelprinting, acrylic painting classes, art journaling, beginner junk journaling, and beginner cardmaking.
