About Me

I have not been active in SwapBot for several years due to health reasons but ready to jump back in!

I am "mom" to my 14-yo granddaughter. I also work at a local elementary school.

I love paper crafts and altered art. I make hand-made journals, altered art (I alter almost anything), handmade cards, scrapbooking, handmade journals, postcards. ... well, you get the idea! I never throw away anything that I think I might use in art some day ... is there a 12-step for me?

I love soft, earthy and sea/ocean colors. I really dislike bright or neon colors.

I love antiques and vintage linens. I love browsing thrift shops and yard sales.

I like vintage and Victorian items and themes. I love the old fashioned greeting cards!

I dislike "cutesy", such as Disney or other character art. No stickers please.

Books: I love to read! I esp. like: Historical Fiction and Nonfiction, autobiography, biography. No politics. No romance novels.

NOTE: I have two "one" ratings from 2010 that were not my fault. I have repeatedly contacted those people to try to get them straightened out, but I don't get any response. PLEASE do not hold them against me!! THANKS!!!

Response: I read them a couple years ago and now re-reading them with my 11yo. We are checking them out of the library as audio books and listening to them in the car.

Comment: Beautiful handmade postcard. I think I might have misunderstood the assignment after seeing yours, so I'm hoping my partner is understanding. I thought we were to take a vintage postcard and alter it to make it upcycled.
Response: oops, perhaps it was I who misunderstood ... but glad you like it anyhow! shall I send you another?
