alteredartwork

Hello! I am happy to start swapping on this website! I love ATCs, mail art, altered books, cards and most any paper art.

I enjoy gourmet cooking, art, music, movies, museums and enjoying time with my husband of almost 30 years, beloved border collie, grown son and friends.

Altered anything! I love vintage style, Tim Holtz style of altering things including: Altoid Tins, books, just about anything else paper related. Love ATCs, cards, making my own tags for a tag book, chunky or fat books, trying new techniques, mini books, etc. I just got a Zutter and am anxious to try it out!

Love music of all kinds, except rap and heavy metal. I have had the good fortune of seeing Elvis in concert once upon a long time a go as well as attending an performance by the San Francisco Opera. I love all kinds of music. Just depends on my mood!

Love mysteries, biographies, however, please no manga or graphic novels. Not my cup of tea.

There are too many movies to list!! I took a History of Film class and learned so much about silent films, which I have grown to love as well as early films...my favorites have to be Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz. I also try to see as many of the films nominated for Oscars, too. Loved, loved, loved, "Precious" and "Crazy Heart" this year.

I am a Social Worker through and through. I work with first time moms and help them with parenting skills, life skills, goal setting, etc. I love my work! I am an animal lover, especially dogs and love "Dogtown", "Dog Whisperer".

I enjoy preparing a great meal and enjoying it with family and friends, posting on my blog, creating art and trying new things. I never want to stop learning!

I feel fortunate to have some close friends whom I have had for nearly 30 years....those come around once in a lifetime!

I am passionate about my art, keeping up on my swaps and "meeting" new people through swap-bot. I will always send my swaps out on time and with high quality.

Looking forward to meeting all of you around swap-bot!
