Lover of bright color, (💚 is my favorite), slow stitching and embroidery, weaving (paper, fibers) paper crafts, mixed media art, art journaling, and DIY home projects. I am a Christian, carnivore, flower gardener, organizer, list maker, pen pal. My favorite medium is currently alcohol ink, but my gel printing plate with acrylic paint is a close second.

I enjoy my volunteer job of editing and really enjoy writing. I like to cook, so if you have a great recipe for cooking meat, please share! I am very interested in alternative health, and prefer to stay away from prescription medication. I believe our thoughts and emotions are far stronger than any Rx ever created. A merry heart does good like a medicine.

Favorite things include little houses, (I absolutely love them and have a rather large collection on my walls!) washi tape, mushrooms, flowers, trees, birds, butterflies, hearts, geometric shapes, patriotic symbols, quotes, Bible verses, silly or cheerful things, clean jokes for my grandkids, play on words, gelli prints, outside-the-box.

I don't have a die cutting machine, but like die cuts, especially botanicals. I like art journaling and am currently working in a handmade journal with just inspirational quotes and verses. I prefer hand made and unique to store bought embellishments.

You can see my style on my Instagram if you are interested. (Link above)

My granddaughter (11 yrs) is wild about anything llama and is a budding artist herself, so if you have something for Makayla, she and I would be delighted!

I am a sporadic but very reliable swapper, and send very soon after the partners are assigned.

Not wild about pictures of faces/people, vintage, grunge, loose glitter, religious icons, or creepy stuff. I have no use for scrapbooking paper, memo sheets or store bought note cards. I no longer make ATCs so I don't need any blanks.

Thanks for swapping with me!

No one knows what the future holds, but sometimes we have a wakeup call that changes our priorities. I just had one of those November 11, 2022, so I may be MIA for awhile in the swapping world while I work at kicking this latest health issue. If you are the praying sort, and you feel prompted to pray for me, I am grateful.
