For Rubberstampers: Please NO cutesy or cartoon-style images. Prefer images that are vintage, detailed engravings, animals & birds, octopus, crab, documents (maps, diagrams, forms, tickets), trees. Favoirte stamp companies include: Leavenworth Jackson , 100 Proof Press, Beeswax

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS I love getting foreign mailing/stationery envelopes, not the fancy kind, just your everyday ordinary envelope and if you throw in an extra postage stamp (can be used or new) from your country that would make a great goody for me:) THANKS:)***

Married, two furry children of the feline persuasion:), my husband and I are pescatarians (eat only fish and veggies), I love to travel, US and Europe (finally made it to Australia and now am in love with abor8gnal dot paintings!), time at the ocean or in a forest. Not a very good gardener but I love poppies and snapdragons, and growing veggies in containers:)

Mixed Media, handdrawn art, Art journaling, ATCs and anything I can make by hand.

I love doing hand-drawn art with Sakura Pigma Micron pens (#02,#03,#05) and then using watercolor to add color to the drawings.

Gelli prints are also a fun addiction:)

I have a 1" button machine...too much fun

MOO cards...love to trade MOO cards. Do you MOO?

MAKES ME HAPPY
