Lover of all things paper !
I appreciate anything people have put effort into. I am not good at freehand art ,drawing, painting but appreciate other peoples talents. I love vintage images. I prefer feminine, elegant, whimsical art. I like butterflies, birds, bird cages, candelabras. , flowers,. Some days I like vintage colors, the next Moroccan brights. I love new techniques..mixed media, embossing, spray inks, My latest love it embossing enamel. I love flowers on everything. My most expensive addiction is to Graphic 45 papers. I am trying to collect many of the discontinued papers.
I am a Breast cancer survivor. I have just had my 10 years since diagnosis. One supportive husband who is the nicest human being I know. He is a model train layout fanatic and also collects old matchbox toys from the 50-70s. My adult children bring me great pride both beautiful human beings. Sorry to you all but I have the most gorgeous grandson on earth. Nothing brings more happiness than that little voice running in the door...hi Grammy.

No need to send extras. I have all I need . Truly I have enough paper etc to stock several shops. I rate and give hearts firstly for effort and secondly because they are free and you can never be too kind ! My Christian values and faith are very important to me. However I am not judgemental or particularly opinionated. I believe in love and living at peace with all. I try to show respect and treat fairly all without judgement. I find that kindness and acceptance are easy to give and I enjoy bringing joy to others . Please do not send that which may offend. ( Wicca, Pagan, Violent, Ghoulish) I do enjoy "nice"halloween themes and fantasy.

Bev, thank you so, so much for the wonderful assortment of laces, ribbons, and trims...you are a wonderful Fairy Godmother; I treasure every bit of it!
Bev, I absolutely love the way you decorated my puzzle pieces -- thank you so much!
Received your puzzle pieces today. Will get working on them. :)
Hi! I put my puzzle pieces in the postbox yesterday afternoon -- hopefully they went out last night but if not, they'll definitely get picked up this morning. I was going to enclose them in a card -- but they were at the edge of the postage band and adding a card would have added a pound (around $1.77 AU) to each envelope so I carefully removed the card from each envelope! I'm really looking forward to decorating other people's puzzle pieces and to receiving mine back. A fun swap!
Hi Bev - puzzle pieces on their way to you! xx Dee
Thank you for the wonderful tin full of goodies!
