About Me

Recently moved cross country to small town from big city. (Blanketed in snow right now and loving it.) Snow is almost gone... blanketed in grey road sand.

Live with Bill and our high-energy dog (Belgian Malinois/Shepherd) and loafy B & W cat. .

I want to be organized but a I am not, if I just had more baskets, boxes hehe.

I spend my time - making crafty/art stuff - BBQing - traveling - camping - beachcombing - cooking - baking - playing poker, euchre and games

So excited to discover swap-bot.

Comment: I did laugh when I opened it up!!!! I love Groucho Marx and the red hair is very funny. Did you do the face yourself? It is very cool. And I love the funky stuff you enclosed. Right up my alley! I like things that make me go, "oh cool!! I never saw that before!!" Using the poster was very creative! I was wondering what was up before I opened it! Looks very pastoral where you are from. Thanks for an awesome package
Response: That's great! The face is from some Groucho Marx ribbon that i've had for years... probably vintage? yes i guess where I'm from IS very pastoral .. I haven't seen a summer here yet... hehehe.. can't wait! Wiarton Willie (groundhog) said there's more winter comin'. You're very welcome.
