About Me

After a very long Hiatus whilst dealing with what life has thrown at me, I am happy to be back to swapping. Not back in full force mind you, but back none the less. :)

what I pledged

Hi there everyone! Welcome to my Profile! A few things about me...

I am a Stampin Up! Canada Demonstrator! If you have any interest in purchasing any of the current products or have any crafty questions, feel free to have a look at my online shop link or to shoot me a PM!

  • I am Happily Married to the Best Man in the world!

  • In the evenings, you will usually find me enjoying a cup of tea, my most recent crochet/knitting project and a Disney Movie.

  • I have a Professional Cooking Degree, and I enjoy cooking at home for my hubby and others greatly. Not cooking for a living anymore has helped me re-invent my passion for food :) Recently I have been entering baking into the local Country Fair and got several prize ribbons!

  • My favourite sweet treats are Purdy's Georgia Browns and the Gummy Frogs

  • I believe in a happy and healthy lifestyle! So I do my best to stay active! My husband and I enjoy fresh ingredients in my cooking.

  • We love Geocaching! @rscho7 and @facesigma are our handles on the app!

  • I LOVE animals! From the fuzzy kinds to the scaly kinds! (Just as long as they have no more than 4 legs I am FINE lol)

  • Any Magic:the Gathering players out there?? I have played and collected Magic Cards since I was 12! I am currently playing a lot on Magic Arena. If you play standard, shoot me a PM and maybe we can play some time.

  • Shopping for gifts for other people is one of my favourite things to do!

One More Thing I would like to ADD....

If there is a time where you do not receive a Swap or Tag from me, please be respectful and give me (and other swappers) the benefit of the doubt. This means that before rating a 3 or a 1 attempt to contact your partner FIRST, and not give your rating first "to let them know". Most swappers will do their best to rectify what is in their control. The Postal system is not always in the best working order, ESPECIALLY during the holiday season. So please DO keep this in mind. Treat and Message others the way you want and expect to be treated and messaged. :)

My Crafty Side!

At the moment I am sticking with Swaps for Tea, Handmade Cards, Holiday Cards, Flat Envies etc... Small Swaps Only

There are a few specific crafts that I stick to, but I am always willing and interested to try different things!

- Handmade Cards

-Paper Crafts

-Stamping

-Alcohol Markers

-Knitting & Crochet!

Making Cards and Folio Albums are my main hobby, followed closely by Crochet/Knitting

SOOOO...MUCH....YAAAAAARN lol I also volunteer at a local Non-Profit yarn shop who is partnered with the Salvation Army. https://onceuponasheep.ca/

Hobbies/Likes/Dislikes

I love music, can't go a day with out listening to something or I would literally die. I listen to just about anything, but at the moment I am very into Pitt-Bull. I love Rihanna too! But my favourite of all time would have to be Billy Joel, Bryan Adams, the Backstreet Boys and Savage Garden.

As for books, I am an avid Audiobook listener. I have minor dyslexia and so reading for longer periods of time is difficult. Plus this way I can do 2 things at the same time lol. My favourite genre is Cozy Mysteries. I use the library app as well as Audible.

TV shows at the moment are Criminal Minds, DR. WHO, NCIS, NCIS:LA, NCIS:New Orleans, The Ghost Whisperer, 911... but most of all 100% Fav show of all time is CHARMED ^^ (The Original...not the really bad reboot)

I love to cook. Hubby is spoiled rotten, as he gets homemade baking to take to work with him...lol.

I LOVE DISNEY ANYTHING! Collectables, clothing, stationary, figurines, POP! Figures...seriously anything! Nightmare before Christmas is my NUMBER 1 FAV!

I Collect Squishmallows... yes I am over 30 and I don't care, I LOVES THEM.

My Wishlist

Thank you in Advance!

Flaked :(

It's been a long long time.... so everything that's happened years ago I have forgiven and forgot. Anything that happens as of June 2024 will be added to this list...

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful Christmas cards. I love how you combined textures for interest, with an embosed wood grain and foam snowflake stickers. Also your colour combination is great.
Response: Thank you so much! I'm so happy you like them :) The snowflakes were actually die cuts popped up on foam tape. They came with the stamp set I used for the snowflake.

I'm thankful for a lot of things, but I'm most thankful for you.
