Hello all...

*** Update 7-05-19 Update ***

I had to have a 2nd surgery on the same hand on 6-25-19 due to some complications. This was not planned and completely caught me off guard!!! As a result of this new surgery...the time I will be off Swap-bot unfortunately now has to be extended. I hope to be back to fully participating by mid-August or at the start of September.

Thanks so much for your understanding! 🙂

*** Update 6-14-19 Update ***

I will not be participating in any swaps for approximately -45- days. I had surgery yesterday, 6-13-19, on my right hand and arm and are not able to do to much. I will be checking in from time to time to make sure all my swaps are taken care of...all have been sent and I’m waiting to receive a couple to rate. I should be back to participating fully in swaps around mid July...or early August. Thanks!!!

I’m originally from Knoxville TN. My family moved to So California back in 1968 so...I guess you could say California is my home now.

I love to do crafts...especially with paper. I don’t know what it is but I absolutely “love” paper products; Cardstock, stationery, notecards, journals, whatever ...if it’s made out of paper...I want it. I especially like cardstock with bold patterns. If you are my partner in a swap and you are sending me cardstock samples... please tell me who makes it.

I have quite the crafting arsenal to play with as well...Cricut Maker, Cuttlebug, Big Shot Pro, Big Shot, Sidekick to name a few. If you ever need a die cut of something...ask me to send you a few... chances are I will have that die...🤓

I’m also a very good cook and love cooking gourmet style dishes.

I love all types of music but will have to say that soft jazz and contemporary gospel are my favorites.
