Favorite Crafts

I like making fold-a-note cards, making use of lots of different ephemera(smaller the better!) I'v I love personal art zines, and enjoy participating in swaps. I would call myself a mixed media artist. Right now I'm really into knitting socks, also freeform knitting.

I began doing alot of mail art in the 1990's and would like to start back in this again.

I love altering all kinds of junkmail to repurpose it into either correspondence or zine material.

About Me

I also like quotes, especially about travel and Christian inspiration. Not too into anything cute, like bunnies, teddy bears or flowers(but have a real enjoyment of pansies, also pressed flowers.
I've been married for 14 years to a wonderful man that I met through a mutual aquaintance! We go on trips to Vancouver,B.C. at least twice a year and do a camping trip on the Olympic Peninsula in the summer. I'm almost 57 years old and have lived most of my life in the greater Seattle area in the state of Washington. The years I wasn't in the area wwere when I spent a year abroad in France, and did a tour of duty in the U.S.Navy living on the East Coast and ending my time up in Iceland. I also did some travelling in Italy,Germany, Luxembourg Belgium, Spain and Morocco.

Favorite Music

I listen to older Christian music of the 1960's to 1990's, as well as rock music of the 1970's. I like classical music along with fiddle music, both which I'm learning of and on to play on the violin.

Favorite Books

I enjoy reading fiction and non-fiction, but only once in awhile will I buy a book, and it's usually non-fiction, like a food essay one or a biography/memoir. I like the murder mystery series by Cara Black that takes place in different parts of Paris(reminds me of my time spent there).

Favorite Television

I watch is the Food Network channel and the one with sports, also Turner Classic Movies and any other movie on some other station that I've seen before. My husband and I both love commercials!!!

Comment: I am sorry the 6 weeks are up! I so enjoyed your letters about your students and the experiences you have with them,and the paper painted by them, I feel you must be a very special teacher to them, I could feel the love you have for them in your letters. I wish my new granddaughter could find a teacher such as you. She has just come from Russia with her mother, She has learning disabilities along with learning a new way of life. My son is a dad for the first time, She is 16 and was not wanted by her birth dad, but she has one who loves her with all his heart now. Thank you for being such a great pen pal. Marcia

Comment: LoL I have no idea if I should give a 3 for this swap because it was supposed to be for a paper creation and you sent me something knitted (which I wasn't sure if it's an extra or the actual creation) but your letter is so out of the ordinary that I just fell in love with it ! .. I can't wait to reply and hopefully have a new friend in WA and wish I could give you more hearts, it's rare that someone makes a letter so artistic !
