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 ecstatic. I am a mixed media artist (totally amateur) 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.
