5/16/21 I'm a newbie here and I've just mailed out swap 3 (4 recipients so far). I'd be so grateful if you would rate my swap right away when you receive it, being a newbie those first few ratings are important to get started! I'm learning my way around Swap-bot and if you ever feel what I sent was not correct please contact me and I'll fix the problem. If there is any problem with mail (and covid seems to really be affecting US mail at times) and you have not received what I sent in a reasonable time, please contact me and I will always make it right. I will always follow through on sending for a swap I have joined. I've received my first swap in the mail, which was very exciting, and I went right away and rated the sender. I will rate within 24 hrs of receiving. Thanks for patience as I learn : )

About Me: My day job is artist, author, and illustrator. I am @boldmovesstudio on Instagram and I have a website www.boldmovesstudio.com that you can check out. I write children’s books and when I illustrate children’s books I use mixed media artwork but when illustrating other books I create acrylic paintings. I enjoy providing author visits to elementary schools. (Pre-pandemic life) I am a Reiki practitioner at the Master level and enjoy studying all types of energy medicine. I’m a soulcollage® facilitator and enjoy gathering with other soulcollager®s as well as leading playshops. I am beginning the journey of studying the Medicine Wheel in June 2021.

I enjoy creating/making, painting, crafting, making ATCs, snail mailing, pen paling, reading, gardening, photography, and spending time with my family.

I love everything nature, seashells, rocks, crystals, leaves, flowers, the moon, animals of all kinds, (whales to bunnies, to bears) the beaches and the mountains. My favorite colors are purple, orange, green, and yellow. I’m an alpaca farmer wannabe.

My favorite holiday hands down is Halloween! Second is Thanksgiving, but my version is all about celebrating family, friends, and gratitude. Third is Valentine's Day to celebrate friendships and love.

My daughter and I have a cottage business (Lina’s Lemonade Stand) creating all natural skin care products and lifestyle products, you can check it out at www.linaslemonadestand.com or on Instagram @linaslemonadestand_

I am happily married for 35+ years. My husband Nick and I have 3 kidults ages 33, 32, 29 and our first grand baby just turned one! I love spending time with my family and hosting family gatherings.

I am the cohost, with Erica Richmond at Open Sky Stories, of The Mail Art Stories Project; an international mail art opportunity to express your feelings/experiences amid this pandemic through mail art. For information or to participate check out @mailartstories on instagram. Extended mail deadline 8/14/21
