About Me

Hi my name is Lori. I am a NewYorker by birth and a Texan by choice. My husband & I moved to Texas back in 1981 right after graduating college and never thought we’d still be here!! But we love it!!

MUSIC: My Favorite music is Country & Classic Rock.

BOOKS: I love to read in my spare time. I find it very relaxing to get lost in a book. Mostly Romance with some mystery are preferred. Some of my favorite authors right now are: Colleen Hoover, Susan Mallery, Nicholas Sparks, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Jodi Piccoult, Kristin Hannah, and Ruth Ware to name a few.

TRAVEL: I love to travel with my husband & grown children when they are available. I love learning about other cultures in the USA as well as going further to foreign countries. We frequent the Bahamas a lot. Anywhere in the Caribbean is a plus. We also travel to a National Park at least once a year. We take turns on which member of the family gets to choose the park for the following year!! We have been to Europe several times also. But I do believe there is still so much beauty in the US to see!

CRAFTS: As far as crafting goes I love just about any crafts. My favorite is Cardmaking, bookmaking and creating Art Journals. Basically Papercrafting & things that can be made with it. I’ve also made homemade paper. I’m a big recycler and like repurposing whatever I can in my crafting. I can stay in my Art Room for hours and just lose track of time. I am not afraid to try just about any craft and have done many over the years.

FAVORITES: *I don’t really have a favorite color but do like bright colors rather than pastels. I also like Fall colors. The combination of black & white is pleasing to my eye in both photos & paper crafts. * I have recently started liking vintage things & ephemera. I’d like to start using it more & seeing what other people do with it. * I love collages and mixed media art as well as when done in crafts.
* Stamping & Stickers of- Dragonflies-they are such interesting insects!! Ladybugs Bumble Bees Sea Turtles Starfish Llamas Sun & Moon Coffee & Tea Fairies Nature * Contemporary, modern, geometric things * I always prefer homemade rather than store bought.

DISLIKES: I am pretty easy going and can’t think of many dislikes right now. I may edit that at some point!! LOL!! Hopefully I won’t offend anyone!!

*Cats *Glitter *sequins that will fall off art *Although I like using ribbon please don’t send any because I have so much of it. Unless it’s lace, I don’t have any of that. *Crocheted, knitted, or yarn art. *I have plenty of paper so unless it is very unique I don’t need any. *Please do not send food items

I am looking forward to being a member of Swap-bot.❤️

Comment: I loved my ABC's and 123's happy mail you sent! ☺ Very creative and fun items. I'm glad you had fun with the scavenger hunt! The little envelope you made from the magazine to hold everything was super cute too! If there's a tutorial showing how to make the magazine envelopes, you should definitely host a swap for us in the group! Thank you for joining my swap and hope to see you in the swaps again soon! ♥
Response: Hi Michele-Thanks for the rating!! I had so much fun making everything!! I really don’t know how to host a swap and that envelope is so simple!! I can forward you the Instagram video that I found it on. It’s one of those that goes super fast & you have to watch a few times!! Let me see if I can copy & paste it to a message. If it doesn’t open on here maybe you can send me your email or phone to text it to.

Comment: Yowza Batgirl! The lemons on the hidden journal card are delightful and the envies are precious, but the #4 and #14 tickets are much appreciated. But by far my favorite is the circular bookmark!! Shall have to make a few of those for sure! Many thanks for such a personalized swap.
Response: So glad you like it all Linda!! And glad I knew your favorite numbers!! I love that bookmark too. I thought it was so unique when I received one from another swapper I just had to copy and share!!

Response: Glad they arrived Melissa. The short explanation is you just have to decorate & send 2 PC’s to the same partner. Funny because I received 2 from my partner this round for the 1st time!!
