About Me

I always appreciate tuck-ins on swaps, but if youā€™re my partner don't feel it's expected. I'm almost out of crafting storage space!

A few things about me:

  • 47yo, female, married w/ 4 kids (2 grownups, 2 teens)
  • she/her
  • LBGTQ ally
  • atheist homeschooler--no denim jumpers here!
  • I cook several hours a day--all gluten-free and vegan
  • paper addict, esp unusual writing paper
  • washi paper addict as well
  • constantly reading, donā€™t leave home without my kindle or a book
  • unrepentant potty mouth
  • I love coffee!
  • after 5pm you WILL find me drinking white wine
  • NPR is my jam
  • Most of the day I listen to podcasts or news shows while working, driving, crafting, etc.--I'm always looking for recommendations, so feel free to suggest. There are about 70 podcasts on rotation in my ears.
  • I like to write and receive long, newsy letters, though I warn that I'm not terribly efficient at time management so I might not write for a month then three times the following month. I'm full of surprises that way!
  • Mail art delights me. #NoPlainEnvelopes

LIKES:

  • books! Fiction, non-fiction, mysteries, thrillers, classics, poetry...I will read pretty much anything except fantasy/sci-fi. I like there to be at least some semblance of realism
  • pen-pal letters
  • sarcasm
  • smart, creative women, especially in the arts and politics
  • Indigo Girls
  • washi tape/stickers
  • colors: olive/jade green is favorite, followed by purple, silver, teal, turquoise
  • bright prints/motifs
  • men in kilts
  • podcasts, especially humorous or political
  • vintage/retro
  • art nouveau
  • art deco
  • mandalas
  • daisies, sunflowers, bonsai
  • botanical images
  • butterflies/dragonflies
  • unusual typography
  • book/magazine pages, especially vintage or non-English
  • kaleidoscopes & similar imagery

DISLIKES:

  • hair
  • rodents
  • housework
  • stereotypical "girly" stuff
  • animal prints
  • camel toe
  • fantasy/sci-fi
  • traditional holiday stuff; it just seems so artificial, especially xmas
  • GLITTER IS THE WORST. CONFETTI IS HER BITCH STEP-SISTER
  • anything containing lavender (I'm allergic). Love the color, not the plant
  • sweets/candy
  • ribbon/fabric
  • religious or faith-based ANYTHING
  • ā€œcuteā€ or kawaii
  • kiddie/juvenile stuff

Postcards:

  • out-of-the-ordinary
  • artsy
  • funny
  • eccentric
  • vintage
  • non-touristy

Comment: Oh my! You spoiled me with this one. Such a cute mini booklet and I love all the goodies. The washi samples are beautiful. Do you have a corrugated embossing folder? I love the cover. Such attention to detail. Iā€™m going to buy some magnets so I can do the little bag topper like you did. Thank you so much. I enjoy swapping with you.
Response: I seriously had so much fun with this project! Itā€™s not a folder, itā€™s an actual little manual machine that you put paper in and twist a knob. Iā€™ve had it for probably 20 years; if I can find it online I will send you a dm with the info. Tip for the magnetsā€”office stores have business card size adhesive magnets that are easy to cut. Flat, small, one pack of 50 will last for years. Thank you for the kind words and heart!

Response: I'm so glad you like them! I wasn't really sure what I was doing, which always means I'm positive I'm doing it wrong. :)

Comment: You didnt put the swap name, it took me quite awhile to sort through all my swaps to find your name. Just remember that next time!
Response: Oops, sorry! There should have been a business-card size swap card included; I bet itā€™s still on my craft table under papers.

Comment: Thanks so much for sharing your list. I've tried Kindle Unlimited from time to time and it's been a huge waste for me. One year, on Cyber Monday, I bought a FULL YEAR subscription (it was very discounted, just like $20 or so) and I forced myself to read books through KU - UGH!! Never again. I subscribe to Book Bub's newsletter and Freebooksy newsletter & have found a lot of better cheap or free books through those (both services are free) than I ever did with KU!
Response: I'll look into those, thanks!

Comment: WOWZA Deb...... you really took great care in knowing me through my profile..... thank you for that! I absolutely loved every piece of this happiness! The PCā€™s, paper and wonderful pin up stickers..... not to mention the envies all so different and I will hate to use them. When I do I hope you donā€™t mind me referring to you (by swap name) so people can see and connect and maybe even want to join swaps.... thank you sooooooo much
Response: Of course you can mention my name, but I hope you do use them! I love making envelopes and it makes me so happy to make someone else happy. Glad you enjoyed the swap, it was a joy to put together!

Comment: Super awesome swap! Thanks so much. Loved it all and especially like the dried flowers.
Response: My husband actually got me several packets of dried flowers for a "mail enthusiast version of flowers" (his words) for valentine's day. What a guy! I'm sharing some and saving some. :)

Comment: Thanks for the great pc! I weirdly didn't read Harriet the Spy until I was an adult. I knew of it when I was young, but somehow didn't read it. I should have!! It's a great book.
Response: You should check out the sequel, "The Long Summer."

Thank you for the notecards and understanding my goof. I will enjoy using these cards for my chemo buddy (I send once a week to a woman on IV chemo).
