hola -- i am a creative and work with mixed media collage, a quilter and fiber artist.

i have made and sold many fabric post cards in galleries thru new england and also the texas national quilt museum. I love to send out cute cards to friends for surprises and special days. i am also a member of a fb group that sends cards and fabric postcards to veterans, thanking them for their service, as well as milestone birthdays!

Hobbies (obsessions) -- i love to grow flowers, herbs, vegetables. i rarely eat meat, mostly vegs, soups and salads, pastas, along with tea and coffee too - my new year resolution is try all kinds of herbal teas this year. i do like to bake in the winter time, and always trying new recipes. as for tv, i don.t watch much -- follow food channel shows, joanna gaines, and hallmark movies in december! (hot cocoa in hand, scented candles burning).

I am a big-time dog-mom, i even sew dog items, bows, and bandanas to sell and donate the money to help shelter animals. I wish i could have half a dozen more dogs, maybe once i retire i will.

I sew and also quilt, and now i found postcards and notecard swaps, a new passion of mine! I am still new at this, but love the creativity it takes to turn recycled cardboard into cards, bookmarks, postcards, and other fun things.

I love my life in the hills of new england, in the middle of nowhere, but still am just 2 hrs from boston, cape cod, rhode islands beaches, new hampshire and vermont mountains.

I do like to travel, and have visited almost all the states in the U.S through the years, i loved the southwest desert - arizona, navaho lands, and grand canyon, as well as the state of Texas and their great BBQ! I havent been out of the country in a long time, but have visited almost every island in the caribbean before the world changed, as well as amsterdam and greece in my college days. Nowadays i tend towards road trips when i can, and stay closer to home due to work and family obligations. i try to take my dog if possible too!

I like almost anything but my favs tend to autumn and winter solstice landscapes, celtic music and songs, rock music and indie, angels, foxes, dogs and wolves, moose, birds, whales, mushrooms, gardens of any kind, also the beach and oceans --I do not like steampunk style or superhero themes, anything overly religious, violent, or abusive.

Thanks for checking my profile, still a newbie learing as i go, if something is wrong or you didnt receive a swap let me know, as i will always send and give a good rating too! Thanks!
