Hi there! I'm a high school biology teacher with two (kinda) grown boys, a loving husband, and two ginger kitties named Oscar and Chester.

I am an avid reader, and will dive into just about anything I can get my hands on, other than sappy romance novels.

Some of my favorites of all time are: Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, Harry Potter Books by J.K. Rowling, anything by Jane Austen, The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien.

I love anything book-themed!

Knitting and spinning - this is my first love.

Paper crafts - art/junk journaling, bullet journaling (I just got a Hobonichi planner and I'm in love!!), some scrapbooking (mostly mini-albums and vacation albums).

Cross stitch, sewing/quilting.

I love stationery in general, specifically washi tape, sticky notes, and cute, quirky stickers and note cards.

I have an unhealthy addition to Japanese stationery items. ;)

My favorite colors are mint/seafoam green, turquoise, navy blue, and orange.

I have just begun junk-journaling, and am starting to build up a collection of magazine clippings, ephemera, and other bits of paper goodness for that. I am also playing around with ATCs and pocket letters.

Love tea and coffee, red wine, peanut-butter anything, dark chocolate.

Favorite themes: elephants(!), llamas, woodland creatures (hedgehogs, foxes, and owls), cacti and succulents, vintage botanical (especially field guide-type illustrations).

Not a fan of pastels, girly patterns, neon colors, or childish themes. Please save your reward stickers for another swapper that would appreciate them. :)
