Hey! Thanks for stopping by! On August 12 of 2019, I died. Thankfully someone stopped to help me. They preformed cpr for approximately 5 minutes, until the ambulance arrived. With 1 shock, I was back. I am so thankful! Only about 5% of people survive this kind of thing! It;s called Sudden Cardiac Arrest. If you are a survivor, please share your story with me. I'm still recovering, but my prognosis is good. Only this week (10/30/19 ) was I able to complete a small piece of art. Yay me! I'm not worried, it'll come, I mean art, It's in my blood. I'm looking forward to a second chance at life. Thanks for reading!

Also if you're into zines, please share! I'm very easy to please. We've met some really great swappers! This is a wonderful place.

We love to work on projects together. 3-31-22 please if you live near water, I have a sand collection! If you can, just a small bag with the name of the beach and the date. Thank you so much for the friendship I have here on swap bot!!!

I love extras, don't get me wrong, but a note from you ( whatever it may be ) is much appreciated! Tell me a story, tell me what you ate for dinner, tell me a joke, just tell me something about you! Nobody is You-er than YOU! And that's the whole point, right? If you don't receive, please let me know. I want you to be happy! Also if I don't add enough postage let me know. I try to add more than I need, Thanks! Also, If I haven't rated you, I may not have received something. I also hate giving anything less than a 5. Honestly, I know there's a need for the messages section, but to me it's like email (I hate it) So if you're trying to get my attention, put a note on my wall. Sorry that you have to reach me that way. I have been trying to look at them more often.

Hi, I have a 3 rating..... I admit I forgot one element of the swap, a list of things I liked about Christmas. I did not flake. (Plus it cost 7$ to send!) I sent the swap, my partner did not like what I sent. She said she was very disappointed. I guess I was too. Live and learn. Plus, she didn't give me the chance to make it right.

Please look at my ratings section. I think you'll see most people have been happy with what I've sent. Thanks.

I love all forms of art, but especially paper/mixed media art. I have taken classes by Melody Ross/Brave Girls Club. I've done alot of different crafts, from sewing my girls dresses(as children) to painting (now). I live in Minnesota! I don't read very much, except my Bible and devotional. Also, If you're into zines,I would love for you to share one. You may receive one from me!
