About Me

I'm a mother, wife and nature lover.

After working 21 years in a local elementary school, my time is now my own. And I have filled every minute of it.

I have two incredible volunteer jobs ever! During the summer months I am a trail guide at Timpanogos Cave National Monument. And I love it! Spending days hiking the trail and talking to those who are on an adventure is amazing. You can check it out here: https://www.nps.gov/tica/index.htm

During the colder months I volunteer at the Thanksgiving Point Butterfly Biosphere working with the entomologist and horticulturists to help the butterflies thrive. It is peaceful, beautiful and humid. LOVE! You can check it out here: https://thanksgivingpoint.org/experience/butterfly-biosphere/

I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, swimming, pretty much anything! I volunteer as a leave no trace trainer and love to teach and educate others on the importance of respecting our beautiful land.

I love deserts, beaches, forests, all of it! Being outside centers and balances me. You will always find me with a rock, shell or leaf in my pocket. I can't help it!

I have been married to the most wonderful man for 33 years and have 4 children, ages 28-20 and two sweet grand babies! Life is good!

I am an eternal optimist. I try to always look for the good in situations and people.

Bees and butterflies

Rocks and minerals

I love all colors!

Everything, I'm not picky. I just appreciate the time it takes to mail something. If it makes you smile, most likely it will make me smile.

In Conclusion

Letters are my favorite part of swaps. I love reading about the lives of others.

Tell me about your favorite hobby or your favorite food.

Tell me what makes you happy or what frustrates you.

Tell me what you did yesterday or what you hope to do tomorrow.

Tell me anything.

Happy SWAPPING!

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful swap! Peridot is one of my favorites, I have a peridot necklace that was once a ring. I looked down one day many years ago at work and saw my ring was empty, I was heart broken. My bosses son ended up finding the stone and my boss had it made into a necklace for me. Green is one of my favorite colors, I find it to be comforting. I will find a place to plant the seeds you sent. Should I wait until spring to plant them?
Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed the swap! You can plant the seeds anytime. You can even just scatter them around. They don't need much!

Comment: Thanks again for a wonderful swap! It is cool you sent a packet associated with Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The aquarium I work at is on Roosevelt land and we have a Roosevelt trail on property. Also you mentioned petrified forests, my friend lives in Petrified forest AZ and her husband is a park ranger. Thanks for everything, your swaps are always so beautiful I hate to take them apart to see what is inside. Happy Day!

Comment: Oh my, what a SUPER FUN swap to open! If I could give you more than 1 star I would, and not because you sent me extras, but because everything was so well done, and because you wrote me such a nice long letter. I really appreciate that! For me Swap-Bot is all about connecting with people, not just collecting stuff. So thank you for that! I've been to Moab three times and still feel like I've only scratched the surface. I love hand made "pockets" and the ones you made are super cool! I need to drag out my sewing machine. It adds such a nice touch. I adore tiny things, so the butterfly card is a hit with me too. And last but not least, the grid postcard is beautiful. :-)

I'll have to see what my community is doing these days. I love the fall. Thank you for all the lovely things you sent that will go perfectly in my swap-bot journal - woohoo!!

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely packet of autumn-hued goodness! I especially love the sunflowers, and the gnomes, and description of Petrified Forest; that and the redwood trees in California are what I would like to see before I die. Enjoy the autumn!

Hey I am sorry I just found your letter and will write you I feel so ashamed it was in the fold of the letter.

Random! I just saw that you had written on a rating that you grew up in Reno!! So cool. I am a Nevada girl. Maybe one day we will swap and talk more about it :) If you are interested in joining a fun group that I do a lot of swaps in let me know. It's Sunshine Swaps and Mail if you want to check it out. Have a good week! Kristi
