About Me

**FYI five-cent increase for Forever stamps, July 13, from 73 cents to 78 cents. **

This is Rita, my new Jack Russell, can you believe someone abandoned that face?

Don’t know what’s going on with postal system- last year I had more than a few I had to resend. This year, I had a card returned for .46 in state, & not overweight or too thick. Today I received a card again, not overweight or thick. Another.46 to receive it. I’ve also sent an international postcard 3x & still hasn’t received :(

I really like receiving postcards without plastic wrapping. I like the stamps & marks on the card, otherwise it seems more like a journal page without the stamps

Rethink Waste: Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle. Reuse packing materials & pass on things I can’t use.

My name is Sandra, married 32 years, and live in Ohio.

Married my husband after dating 8 weeks. He has 5 children & I have 2. We have 18 grandchildren & 14 great children.

Retired after working since I was 16. I’ve done factory, retail, customer service & last was medical billing.

Love taking photos. And over the years many craft things, such as sewing, ceramics, and now paper crafting.

Comment: Hi Sandra! Thanks so much for your 4x6 (which is beautiful in a spooky way ;+) and all the sweet extras you included. Who knew there were doilies in leaf shapes? Not me--now I'll have to try to find some~

Comment: Fun details in card! Happy Birthday wishes coming your way too! Fall of course is my favorite time of year too! Been awhile since we swapped! How have you been? I had my right knee replaced on Sept 2nd so am just now getting to where I can get around better but not to point where I can drive! Happy Fall! Thanks for cute extras,too!
Response: Must be something in the air, I get right done also, but in Dec…I got the gel injection hoping that would work, but they make you wait 3 months after that if it doesn’t. So surgery it is. Thank you for rating & heart, glad you liked it

Comment: My son gathered up all the mail that doesn't look "official" and brought it to me in a paper grocery bag (which has ripped under the weight of it); I'm enjoying opening all the swap envelopes and rating my partners. Of course I love the cat theme of this journal page, and I appreciate the mixed media aspect also. As always, your letter is maybe my favorite part (I'm with you...I thought a banana was a banana, full stop. Don't the stores all use the same few distributors?). Thank you for brightening my day!
Response: So excited to see a rating from you! Thanking your son for bringing you your mail. I know it would have brightened my day! You’ve been there so long already! Thank you for heart & rating!

Comment: Sandra, got your beautiful clusters. And thank you for the extra one. They'll make my journal pretty. If you want to send scrapbook stuff that would be great . I can use most anything because I send to Ukraine for children's and ladies crafting (we were missionaries there for 22 yrs). Also I lead crafts in a senior center and lastly, I will start doing crafts in a new development for the homeless in the fall. Well, there is one more thing....we are making cards to go in food baskets for a mission trip to Guatemala. So...anything except alphabets. I have plenty of them. May the Lord bless you for your interest.
Response: You must have received the first set not the ones I sent Sat or Sunday! Thank you for Rating & heart

Your puzzle piece ATC for the Mystery Supply swap came out great, Sandra. I like the dark and mysterious vibe it's sending. Thanks and I'll post pix soon. Cheers!

Hi Sandra. I just received the USATC Mystery Supply ATC #3. You did a great job of using the chain. So fun! I'll post photos in the group forum once I receive the others. Cheers!

Hi Sandra- I LOVE 💜 your Mystery Supply ATC #2 card. It's so well done, using so many mediums. The pumpkin mirror image is so unique. Thanks also for the Telugu book page. What a gorgeous text...I don't think I can give that one away on an ATC. Will post all pix to group forum once received.
