About Me

****NOTE - I am on vacation from September 28 - October 29, 2024. I may not be able to login to check messages during that time. Thanks for your understanding. ****

I have been crafting my entire life, and have yet to find something I don't enjoy. I have made and sold many pieces of beaded jewelry, but has taken the back seat to paper crafts. I discovered junk journals in 2022 after my mother passed away, and I used it to get me through the grief and in the meantime found a connection with her in it. She was an excellent painter and professional artist most of her life, and whenever I create journals or deco books with botanical items, I feel the connection to her. She loved to paint nature and flowers, and throughout my life I learned to love them too. I retired in 2023, and now have plenty of time to feed my addiction to art! I currently belong to deco swapping groups outside of swap-bot and am looking to increase that here, as well as find other swaps I am interested in. Aside from art, I love music, playing the Elder Scrolls video game as "Guild Mom", and playing with my grandchildren. I try to teach them a love for art so their imaginations will take them the rest of the way.

Favorite Music

I love classical, jazz, swing, big band, electronica, most pop, classic rock, blues and chill.

Favorite Books

I don't read as much as I used to, but when I do it's definitely going to be either historical fiction or some young adult.

Favorite Television

Science fiction, documentaries, crime drama, period drama (particularly 1700-early 1900's) and comedies.

Favorites

I love almost every type of deco there is, but especially these: Botanical / Floral, Vintage (1950's and older), Medieval / Fantasy, Beautiful women - clothed or unclothed, Historical, Postage stamps, Butterflies and Birds

Always Looking For

Original papers--eco dyed, hand painted, Stationary sheets for writing notes to swappers, Illustrations from old books, Music papers, Hand made washi tape

Comment: Hi Annie! Thank you for passing on these pretty decos to me. It's been HOT here in Michigan, too, but we don't get fires the way the west coast does. Just heat and lots of humidity.

Comment: Thanks so much for your collection of decos! This is the perfect swap to send those non-art ones, I tend to do that too! The 1970s will be the challenging (but do-able) one in the bunch, the rest should come together fairly easily!
