About Me

teardrop

I am taking some time off due to some life changes!

I am a former preschool teacher and I taught Summer Camp and other grades.. for many years!

When I am not teaching, I love to sew and craft....and camp in my teardrop camper. I am married and have 3 grown children and two dogs(sadly, one of our dogs passed. He was a very loving dog and will be greatly missed.).

I rate when I receive. I try to send what I would love to receive. I mark sent when I put it in mailbox ...stamped send dates may be different due to when collection is. Please let me know if you did not receive.

I reuse when I can...Do not be offended...I will reuse bits and pieces and envelopes!

I love snailmail. I like to get to know others...

Love the papers you chose for your journal, and you've gifted me with so many fun goodies. Love the tag you made that is actually a pocket, the cute clipped on envelope, the little envelope of butterfly cutouts - love it all! Thanks for a fun swap. Happy Holidays!

Comment: HI Donna and how lucky was I to receive no one but two fall themed swaps from you. This little package of fall happy mail truly made me happy! You created such a lovely little pocket envelope to hold it all and I am just overwhelmed with the wonderful goodies you tucked inside. I find fall themed ephemera kind of hard to find, but I will find so many uses for all these bits and pieces in future projects. Thank you again for another wonderful swap!
