Kalalinga

ABOUT ME: I am a Christian woman, retired from office work and living with my husband in the countryside. I have one grown daughter who is a nurse. I enjoy watching the many birds and animals that come onto the property especially the large gray squirrels, quail and deer.

HOBBIES: Paper crafts are my passion. Give me paper, paste and glue and I'm happy. Throw in some coloring agents and I'm over the moon. I am an amateur mixed media artist and a greeting card maker. I am a snail mail enthusiast and love writing to my pen friends. I have recently begun making junk journals and LOVE IT.

INTERESTS: Besides the above, I love to read, play word games, visit museums and browse through antique shops. I like learning new things and taking various courses on-line.

DECO BOOKS: I like most themes - I'm really not that picky - I'll do my best with any deco I receive as I know it matters to the maker/recipient. I swap USA only due to postage, although I know I may need to send a homer to an International destination. Please note: I DONT DO FRIENDSHIP BOOKS.
