About Me

4-22. My building is experiencing a delay in having our mail picked up and delivered. The post office are working with building management to resolve this issue.

4-22. I was banned from a swap for not having an updated profile. It is now updated

7-3-21- Please excuse my hand writing as i have developed essential tremor in both hands. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
12/29/19 Here is my new story. Within 36 hours, I was told that I had breast cancer,had my hand surgery and developed Guillian Barre Syndrome. GBS left me paralyzed from the neck down, I am slowly recovering. My hands are not back to normal, I think doing swaps is going to help. As of 10 -1 2002 I have no evidence of cancer, residuals of GBS is still kicking my butt. I am a survivor!.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 9/15/19 I will be having reconstructive surgery on my left hand. I will be back when my hand is healed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely index card! The rose side is so pretty, and the daffodil side is really cute with all the animals. I like how it looks like they're hiding in the flowers. And I love the PCs and library card, too. Thank you!

Comment: Your envelope had a slit at the bottom and top, when I received it. Not sure if that was done by the post office, during processing. Thank you for your swap. The envelope is so pretty!
Response: I hope nothing fell out!

Comment: I like Emma and her story, and I think what happens next is that Absolem the caterpillar (voiced by Alan Rickman) asks her a series of questions that are both confusing and illuminating at the same time. Yes, art as therapy! I also enjoy looking forward to receiving happy mail back when I sent out my own, as well as books/movies/etc set in some kind of non-reality (takes me away from my own physical reality). A friend of mine uses old movies, that came out before she was born, as an escape from her reality. It all happened before her, doesn't include her in the narratives. Sometimes crafting doesn't let me escape from my #spoonie body enough and I need a bigger (media) escape (and some opiates!). Thank you again for a fun swap. I really like the pocket you made for the collage, too.
