I enjoy a variety of crafts - sewing, cards, scrapbooking, altered books, counted cross-stitch, collage, miniatures, journals, embroidery, soft dolls, mixed-media, doodles, etc. I have been crafting my entire life; and I currently enjoy making handmade greeting cards. Crafts are creative therapy for me. :)

I like to swap note cards, stationery, pens/markers, stickers, FBs, friendship sheets, etc.

I do rate all swaps received, and would appreciate the same in return. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me directly. I am here to have people enjoy getting swaps from me.

I am always interested in snail mail pen pals and individual swaps.
