About Me

I currently work 4 days a week as a substitute teacher in the public high schools.

I am the mother of 3 girls and a boy ages 15, 17, 18 and 20. And a Golden Retriever and an Australian Cattle /Lab Retriever. I am half Mexican and love learning about the Mexican side of my heritage. I love traveling to Mexico to meet and visit family. I am still learning Spanish.

WHAT I COLLECT

I love touristy postcards and vintage pre 1990's postcards. I am NOT interested in random postcards of quotes or animals.... unless the swap calls for it.

I collect Calico Critters especially the furniture and the adult characters. I am making a little outdoor looking village that will be displayed in my art room and I need more characters and furniture.

I collect miniatures to put in my modern dollhouses. I collect Barbie size all the way down to 1/12, 1/16 and 1/24 sizes.

I LOVE postcards of cityscapes, landscapes, art and architecture. I especially love PCs from Mexico, Europe and outside the USA.

Favorite Movies

My favorite Movies- Pride and Prejudice (BBC version and the Kiera Knightly version) as well as Nacho Libre (Jack Black), Emma (Masterpiece Theatre version with Jonney Lee Miller) and the Harry Potter films.

My favorite TV shows: Schitts Creek, K Dramas, Modern Family. Sister Wives. Black Mirror. Miniseries filmed in the U.K. and throughout Europe and those Scandinavian Noir tv series, plus Black Mirror on Netflix. PBS Masterpiece Theater specials. I also watch a lot of shows with subtitles.😍😍😍

MY LIKES

I am obsessed with Travelers Notebooks!!! I love my planners B6 size.

I love to read Thrillers, self help and autobiographies and short stories. I receive a book each month from Book of the Month club and have read so many wonderful ones that I never would have picked up.

I discovered the Enneagram in 2013 and have studied it ever since. I quickly realized that I am a SEVEN with a 6 wing.

I just have to declare my love for alpacas!!! We stumbled across an alpaca farm in rural Oregon one night and spent a day there just watching those beautiful creatures. Now they are my favorite animals on the whole planet.

MY WISHLIST

CITY STREET POSTCARDS-especially small town downtown America or British villages

VINTAGE PC'S

JANE AUSTEN ANYTHING

ANYTHING ENGLISH (as in England)

POSTCARDS FROM OUTSIDE THE USA

ANYTHING DIA DE LOS MUERTOS OR FRIDA KAHLO

Things with gnomes

Dollhouse miniatures

I love anything and all things Mexican. The food, the decor, the colors, the music!!!!

Don't send me:

I belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter DaySaints (Mormon) so I do not drink Coffee. (I do t drink tea BUT I use them to age paper for junk journaling AND to use in pocket letters so I would enjoy getting those.

I don't need any more bits of colored cardstock or patterned paper. I find that this doesn't get used.

Loose tiny stickers that are not on a sheet. I will loose them immediately and that is sad.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW....

If you do not receive a swap from me... PLEASE send me a private message and let me know it was not received. I will resend after waiting an appropriate amount of time to ensure the mail is not just taking the long route to you. I ask that you give me a chance to get your package to you before rating a 1 or 3. I never give out 1's or 3's when the swapper truly makes an effort to fix a problem. Anyway... so far things have run super smoothly (and hopefully they continue to do so).

Comment: Hi Maggie! Thanks so much for sharing this! I love how you included pictures of your son and you etc! Also love how you included the words savor across!
Response: Thanks so much. I try and make these journals as personal as possible because I want them to be saved by family when I am one day gone and my thinking is that they will value them more if there are photos and personal stories. Thanks so much!!!

Comment: Very fun page - especially love the top third placement, with it growing up out of the catalog page!
Response: Ahhh thanks. It was a lot of fun to make and I love it when things are sticking off pages. I tend to like when my closed albums are fluffy on the edges.

Comment: Thank you so much for this swap. You were so much fun to work with. Loved the extra sheet. That was a great idea!!
Response: Ahh thanks. My kids are all teens and young adults so when I am not working my mind tends to come up with all sorts of ideas and I want to make things. Of course, I have to share them because I just find it is so much more fun to share than just keeping it to yourself. I hope you continue to join the swaps!

Comment: Thank you for sharing your journal! It looks awesome and I especially love the mustache man in the sales ad 😆 Thank you for hosting!
Response: Thanks so much. I have had that ad for awhile and hated to ever use it. So I only taped down one side so that I could flip it up to read and ooh and ahhh over the prices of the clothes. Thanks for joining the swaps!

Comment: Thank you for putting together such a fun assortment! I love the plaid under-theme going through it <3 Looking forward to future swaps like this one!
Response: Thanks so much. I had so much fun going through my ephemera drawers and picking out a collection of vintage school bits and fall stuff. That red plaid was a swatch of fabric that I had and just laid on the bottom since I wanted to fill that space. I hope we can get more to join future rounds. It will be fun to continue to see what ladies come up with since each of us have our own style and method.

Whoa! The zines! First, this envelope - beautiful! I love every one of these zines. I like the ideas, especially the one of "people get to fill in." I'm going to def make one of those. The sewing one is so pretty! Having Milan Pasta next weekend! Juicy secrets are always fun to read!

So you didn't want anything in return, but since zines are a make and copy thing, any that I make, I will send you a copy. Oh, I'm making a "kinky" one for a swap - let me know if you DON'T want a copy of that. Meantime, for the rest of your life (or mine...depending) you will randomly get a zine from me in the mail on occasion. I'm starting to see how useful they can be, and also how they can be put together in different ways to make different sizes. Thank you so much!
