I took a long break and have been enjoying looking at my swaps from the past and look forward to engaging with this group again.

In regards to rating, I will ALWAYS rate. I will always send if something doesn't reach you please PM me before rating and I will resend! This is a joyful activity that I partake in and I want every ones experience to be a delightful one!!

I am currently working on many projects including, art journaling, ATCs, and Watercoloring, drawing, crocheting and knitting.

I love to travel and have had the opportunity to study in France while getting my BA in French. While in France I traveled all over Western Europe and indulged in the foods, arts and culture and met many wonderful people!

In between knowing and not knowing what to do I worked on a farm as an apprentice and loved it! One of the hardest things I've done but learning how our food comes to us has made me more thankful to those in this industry then ever before.

On another adventure I taught English in Korea and find that experience still influences who I am today.

I am Montessori trained teacher and have taught 3-6 for two years and Middle School for one. We both attend a Montessori school in Kansas City MO and love it. I spend my days with a wonderful class of 4-6th graders as the Lead Guide and they never cease to amaze me in all they can do!! My son is now in Elementary and loves sports of all kinds.

Favorite colors are blue and green but I love the rainbow that surrounds us always.

I find my style is vintage/global, loving things that have a uniqueness of their own. Love up-cycled and recycled stuff and paper crafts of all kinds! Handcrafted books and junk journals!!
