I am happily married with 2 adult children and 1 very good boy. I work part-time as a caregiver for patients who need long term care at home. I am american but I have been living in the Netherlands for a long time. I take swapping very seriously. I will always try to do my best to create something special for you. If you have any comments or questions please message me.
Just to let you know, Postal service is closed in Holland on Sunday’s and Monday’s. Therefore your swap might be stamped at a later date.

Togther with @stachel I co-host the @EuroSwappersOnly group .

I love to make and decorate envelopes. Before Covid I was taking painting lessons. I also participated in several intuitive painting workshops called FLOW. These workshops and painting sessions have taught me it’s more about the process than the result. My goal for 2021 is to continue this.

After experimenting with different crafts, I find I like to make pockets and flip books the most. I also enjoy making origami things.

.

These past months I have written many many letters. Some funny, some serious. I enjoy reading about others and I am genuinely interested in how everyone is coping with this pandemic. If you would like to write me send me a message and I will send you my address.

I have one child leaving the nest in December. My husband is going to fix the empty room up for me. I am going to start crying again, bless his heart what a sweetie.

If you are a well rated swapper, I would love to do a private swap.

I love tea. The only kind I do not care for is rooibos and licorice.

Should you come across anything with a chocolate labrador retriever on it that would be great!

I love dark colors. Rich reds, purple, browns, caramel. I often combine these colors with oker dark yellows, gold. to warm these colors more.

I take my labrador retriever for walks everyday. I like to jog and work out. Before the pandemic I went to the gym several times a week. Now I do home pilates and bodypump. I have a little hobby corner upstairs in our house.

I sometimes watch documentaries on t.v. I mostly watch you tube craft tutorials.
