January 2021.......I have been away from swapbot for a time (almost 10 years) and have missed it terribly ! Happy to be back and so excited to get back into some fun swaps !

I tend to prefer muted colors and natural palettes like beige, cream, white, tan, grey and black...but I really like all colors !

I love glitter and bling...everything...I even have sparkle/glitter shoes !! I own every color of glitter that Martha Stewart makes ! I love sparkly anything !

Things/Themes that I like.. Well....let's start with the basic stuff.....things I like.....or might like to receive....

postage stamps used or new....I kind of have a collection started : ) but don't know much about stamps at all.....I just really like them and bought a great stash at a garage sale last summer and I have been having great fun crafting with them, Stickers, Monkey themed things...especially SOCK MONKEYS, I like all colors.... I love Glitter and sparkly things !! Atc supplies, woodland creatures, nature---I love to camp and hike.

also.....Postcards......cool pictures or things you've found...and the story behind them.

I like kind, nice, patient people and I try to be one myself. I always send out my swaps, read profiles, and try to send something you will appreciate. I always rate. If you are expecting something from me and haven't received it yet, please, as a courtesy, contact me first and give me a chance to resolve it. I haven't had any problems with this yet....but I've heard other peoples horror stories !! Thanks......in advance !

I am happily married. Our home is filled with love and laughter and that is very important to me/us.

We have a rescue dog named hunter. He is a big guy at 100+ lbs. He is a big gentle lover and we love him dearly !

I love Depeche Mode....ahhh.....the first musical love of my life....a little DM can fix anything !

Other favorites...Led Zeppelin, Erasure, Lana Del Rey, OMD, Lyle Lovett, Billy Joel, and classical music.

I am not offended by anything at all....so don't worry about that !

I love books and definitely have a "Book Habit" I have a very big soft spot for vintage children books. I am an avid reader....a few things I am currently in love with or adore....

I Love Charles Vansandwyk...hard to find in the states....much more readily available in Canada. I love and adore all of his works.

The magical world of winnie the pooh. Alice in Wonderland.

Any storytelling or art that depicts or implies that the little creatures have a little life or world of their own.....I find this completely precious...and believe it to be true....... Beatrix potter, Winnie the pooh, The art and books of Charles VanSandwyk, Maurice Sendak is a god ( and he would want me to say that.)

I love stories of a simpler time, many contain the secrets to a happy and joyful life. I have an old tattered, yellowed, copy of Walden, it is like a bible to me...I travel with it and re-read it often.

Crafts....wow ! Swapbot has opened my world to all kinds of new crafts. I had no idea what an ATC was until I came here......I was petrified to make my first one...now I make them all the time...I love them !

I made my first envelope the other day.....that also intimidated me....now I can see they are easy !
