JanJak

My name is Janet. I am 58 years old. I have been paper-crafting for around 20 years. I started making cards with a local group of women and then moved onto scrapbooking, ATC's, journal covers. Currently, I love to create mixed media flip-books.

I live on the South Coast of NSW, Australia. I am married and have 3 married children and 4 gorgeous grandchildren. The simplest things in life give me the most pleasure: being with my grandchildren, making crafts with paper, cooking, reading, and photography.

I love handmade objects with bright colours and painted artwork. I also like to make mixed media backgrounds, flip-books, ATC's and handmade cards for birthdays and to say thank you. My favourite colour is crimson.

I enjoy knitting, but I often don't find time for them. I love to grow veggies in my garden.
I really enjoy creating mail art and snail-mail. If I had all the time in the world, every day, I would spend time in my garden, create papercraft things, travel and spend time with my family.

I always send my swaps and I mark send only when I have posted them. If you haven't received my swap please contact me before rating. I always rate as soon as possible after receiving the swap. I like everything handmade. I want to make my swaps as best I can, so I do appreciate ratings with hearts and comments.

I love travelling with my husband. We like weekends away, camping and international holidays. I enjoy seeing new places from the city nightlife to the outback and beach destinations. I love meeting people on my travels and hearing about their culture and learning about the history of each place.

If you're looking for more specific info about my preferences, it may be helpful to know I especially like:

Die cuts, washi tape samples, ribbon, and scrapbooking paper. Handmade bookmarks I like to receive blank cards or matching stationery. Vera Lane Studio’s whimsical and quirky digital art digital stamps. They can be found on Etsy. Vera’s images are a wink, tongue in cheek, and a smile. ElenaZinskiArt on Etsy is also a favourite of mine. Some fun characters to play with.
