Hello :) I am an esthetician by trade and own a small day spa. I love what I do but I long to have more time to draw, paint, sew, read and swap! I have 2 lovely daughters 9 and 13. We have pet rats and they are the sweetest little creatures. My husband is a professional chef (no, he's never home to cook for us!) and we live in California's central valley.
I love swapping. Apparently, I am a lot more creative when I have a deadline. I have had a great time making things for my partners or even just decorating the packaging that I send my swaps in. I have been on Swap-bot for over 10 years now! Thank you to everyone that has ever sent anything to me. I feel so fortunate to have received some truly beautiful and thoughtful swaps :)

My swaps come from a smoke free home. My wishlist, favorites and likes lists are just to give ideas of what types/styles of things I like. I am happy to receive used items as long as they are in good condition. I re-use packaging whenever possible.
I am always open to private swaps. The ones I have done so far have been absolutely awesome!
I love most of the ones I have tried and I always want to try more!
making miniatures is my current obsession. I enjoy working in just about every scale
hand sewing small projects and embroidery
A big love is Mail Art!

I enjoy papercrafts. I love paper and tools like punches and stamps. I do not "scrapbook" but I am impressed with the beautiful results achieved by people who do.
