About Me

I have changed addresses as much as I have changed shoes over the years (OK maybe I'm exaggerating just a bit;). I have swapped over the years so many times, but I'm finally in a position where I can devote some of my free time to swapping again. I love getting snail mail, it's like Christmas in my mailbox every time I swap. LOOOOOVE IT!

Creative outlets are always soothing to the soul. I love trading ATC's, paper crafts, and some of the envelope books I've swapped over the years have been staples in my art supplies. I love crocheting blankets mostly but I've recently been dabbling in arigurimi. I just finished a Jack Skellington for my sister's birthday gift.

I used to teach elementary school, but I've just become one of the people switching to a new career in search of more money and better hours. Although my new career involves helping veterans, I'm still keeping my heart in education by teaching a couple of courses at the local university.

I live in a grey area always, in everything I do. I have the ability to see something from every angle. Sometimes people see it as indecisive but I see it as a gift. It even creeps into my art likes/dislikes. I love the light, bright and the dark, macabre. Nothing bothers me, if I don't like it I will find someone who does.

Favorite Music

I love literally everything about music. There is something from every genre that I like. I grew up in the 90's so I am partial to Nirvana, Alanis Morrissette, Jewel, and Reba. I love going to concerts and have collected a lot of great names on my list lately.

Favorite Books

I love to read, especially Stephen King (Bag of Bones is my favorite), mysteries, The Hunger Games, and children's books. I have a huge collection of children's books. Miss Nelson is Back is one of my favorites because I used to substitute teach. My all time favorite children's book has to be Glasses, Who Needs Em? The funny thing is I don't even where glasses.

Favorite Movies

My favorite movies are comedies and horror movies..but ill watch anything once.

Favorite Colors

My favorite color is blue, all shades. I really appreciate all colors and combinations.

Comment: Hi Helen! Thank you very much for the gorgeous envelope and card, the song recs (currently listening to Ground Zero, it's great!), and the washi :). I'm glad you also like Clarity by ENMY, and it was nice to read your interpretation of the song! I interpreted the whole song as someone who recently cut off a toxic person from life who continuously talked down that person and their goals, dreams, etc, and now they are trying to rebuild themselves and their confidence. Happy swapping to you too! - Amy
Response: You are very welcome :) I'm glad Ground Zero is loved by more people. My partner introduced me to Parkway Drive; they put on an awesome show.
