MAILING SITUATION:
My mailbox got burned in the Bobcat fire, so I am using my work address for incoming swaps. We are closed on Saturday, so my mailman can't deliver. So, you might get a tracking notice "unable to deliver" , but he will come back on Monday, so don't worry ;)
FYI: I mail out from my local post office of Valyermo (see above), which is very old, tiny & rural. Nobody is even there...you just go in and drop mail into the chute! Things don't get scanned until they reach the next city.
Where I live:
I live in beautiful Juniper Hills, which is in the foothills of the Angeles Forest/San Gabriel Mountains above the Mojave Desert in Southern California. I am near a ski resort, fishing lake, a natural spring, rock climbing/hiking area, an abbey retreat and the Poppy Reserve. There are wild animals & lots of wildflowers. Its very peaceful here with amazing sunsets and at night you can see many stars because there are no city lights. There is also an airforce base nearby, so I see a lot of really cool stuff flying around.
natural spring by my house
My Hobbies:
I love to travel, go on nature hikes, take photos, try new restaurants, visit botanical gardens, museums, old graveyards, cathedrals, tea houses and flea markets. At home I enjoy organic gardening and have chickens, a beehive and a koi pond. I do a lot of crafts: painting, paper crafts, jewelry making, resin, pysanky eggs, a little sewing and other random things.

I just opened my Ultimate Easter Basket! Thank you so much. I love everything. And a special Mahalo for including something for my husband. He added the Buzz Lightyear keychain to his work keys. Aloha
Holy moly, are you kidding me? I just opened another swap package where you were my partner. Thank you so much AGAIN for sticking to this theme. I love my coloring book as well! YES!
Hi there! I just began opening my Christmas gifts from my Swap-not partners tonight. Thank you so much for my golden girls character socks. I love them.♥️♥️
I wanted to drop by and thank you for the beautiful shawl you sent for the CPG Cozy & Warm stocking stuffer. It is so soft and lovely. Thank you so much. Aloha
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!👻
I just gave you, your 1200th "5" congrats!
A fun little note about the witchy advent calendar you sent me: the pack of incense comes says it's from Wildomar, CA; I had to laugh because I am a two minute drive from the Lake Elsinore (my town)/Wildomar city limits! I had no idea we had an incense distributor here, but I keep being reaffirmed how small the world really is!
And thank you, I absolutely loved everything I received. It was really worth waiting for.
I just opened a Stocking stuffer swap you mailed back in Jan 2019. I love my tea cup and saucer. Thank you so much. I will always remember you when I see it in my curio cabinet.
Thank you so much for the adorable Christmas card and the fun Santa tuck-in! See you in 2020! xo
