07/2020 - going through some very unexpected health issues at the moment. I will finish my current swaps but will have to take a break after in order to focus on my health - thanks for understanding
{Hello!} I've joined swap-bot because I LOVE sending and receiving mail that is fun and doesn't require me to pay a bill :) I am a wife and a mother to two sweet energetic little boys.
I am a licensed teacher but recently left the profession to pursue other interests. The profession may have changed but the love of learning has not! I love learning new things and building on my creativity.
I love a mix of vintage style with modern colours
I have done some travelling but that's been on hold since having my sons. I did a 4 week teaching placement in Clacton-on-Sea England, lived in Trinidad and Tobago for a year and moved to Saskatchewan and enjoyed the prairies for 6 months but have always considered Ontario, Canada home :) I'm a country girl at heart
Crafting:
I have many hobbies but making ATCs (and recently ATC coins) is my favourite go-to to keep me busy. I also enjoy making mixed media collages, crocheting, quilting, learning to sew, painting and working on my Jane Davenport online workshop (love her!)! (and more)
Favourites:
ATC/APC cards/coins - These are my favourite thing to make when feeling creative! - stamped images, scraps of different paper etc. are always appreciated to work into my atc cards
I am just starting to get into journaling and have started art and junk journals - loving how they allow me to explore my creativity
Journal Pages! I love adding journal pages from others into my album :)
All Colours! but the colour yellow (specifically golden/mustard yellow), teal, lime green and dark blue tend to be what I pick the most
Zines! I've been experimenting making my own
Paper Doilies, paper napkins, lace and vintage scraps of fabric/linens
Friday Kahlo or Jane Davenport inspired anything!
things with a story or history - like old pictures and postcards!
Cancelled stamps! I love using them in my art journal and on ATCs
Postcards: naked is my favourite but I just started getting into post-crossing so in an envelope is nice sometimes too! I prefer postcards of places and local/famous landmarks, art and historical items. Single view postcards are my favourite but anything you pick out will be appreciated :)
colourful paper, magazine and book pages to use in journals and collages are always appreciated!
Tea: I like most kinds of tea but my favourites are black teas like Earl Grey and English Breakfast. I dislike any teas that taste like flowers
Dislikes:
Rude people and bananas

Thank you so much for angeling me for the AAA: Quick Coin #4. I love what you made for me. Aloha
Happy Friday!!
Thank you for sending back my set for the buddy card swap! They are all so gorgeous; I love what you did to each starter! Take care
Just a quick note to thank you for the swaps you host on All about ATC. I'm really enjoying your themes. :)
You're never going to believe- but the ATC I thought was your re-send, was apparently the original one! I just received the re-send today. The ATC is amazing and I really appreciate both cards, thank you! ~Tracy
Thank you for being my Angel and thank you for the squirrel ephemera :) :)
Welcome to Butterfly lovers! It's great to have you here!
Blessings,
