QuiettCreations

I am a wife, girl mom, and business owner with an additional 40-hour work week job woman. I stay busy with my family, the housework, my creative business, and everything else life throws my way. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology. My family has 4 cats; in my opinion, that’s way too many. I work for a private university and sell handmade and upcycled journals and Cricut projects on the side.

I am new to swap-bot, but I have been sending happy mail for years and participating in other swaps on Reddit and TikTok. I have TT videos available of the happy mail I just finished sending/receiving. It was actually hosted by someone that suggested swap-bot to me. I am excited to get started! Christmas and the month of December are my favorite holiday and month. It’s mainly my favorite month because it’s my birthday month!! Anyways, I decided there would not be a better time to join than now with Christmas right around the corner. I want to bring some cheer and joy to other’s homes and hearts.

I make junk journals and cards. I enjoy making stickers, decals, and t-shirts/sweatshirts with my Cricut. I love any paper craft project really! My essential craft items are paper, fabri-fix glue, Tim Holtz distress inks, stickers, little golden books, and vintage books. Since I make journals, I like creating embellishments and ephemera for each book I create. More of my book-making process can be viewed on TikTok where I share all my journal projects.

My favorite colors are burnt orange and teal.

My favorite themes are Christmas, vintage, bees, and florals. I do want to create a recipe journal as well in the future.

Country is my favorite music. However, I listen to about everything from rap to metal to pop. As long as it has a good beat or the lyrics are meaningful, I will give it a listen. My favorite music this time of year (December/Winter) is, of course, Christmas music!

I enjoy reading when I am not crafting. However, I do not read a lot of mainstream published books. I am a beta-reading which means that I read books for independent authors before they publish their books. I look for plot holes, grammatical errors, sentence structure, and so much more. It is a lot of fun to work with authors, but also a lot of work.

Favorite authors (Indie and Mainstream): Kira Adams V.C. Andrews Haven Cage

I do not spend a lot of time watching television. However, when I do, I love watching crime shows, serial killer documentaries, and anything with Shemar Moore or Ryan Reynolds in it.

Horror is my favorite movie genre of all time.

Criminal Minds will always be the best crime show from start to finish because it combines a lot of my favorite things into one show.
