Hello all!

My name is Akanksha, am married and a Stay at home mom to an amazing 7 year old.. He really loves going through my craft stuff and sometime crafts with me! Am born and brought up in India, presently staying in Texas, USA . Moved to Houston in 2018 after living in Michigan for 4 years. I love to cook and to craft.. Am into scrap booking and love making pocket letters and flipbooks for swap or to send to my penpals.

I am a stationery addict and love papers, pens, Washi tapes, ephemera and scrapbooking supplies.. I love anything cute and pretty and colorful. But I also love vintage themes! Quite a contrast!

I love to travel. Have visited most of the tourist places in India. Have been to Thailand, Nepal, Canada, exploring and visiting various places in the USA. Would love to travel to Australia someday! I collect fridge magnets, pressed pennies and postcards from all over the world. I would love to receive one from your city/ state/ country!

I collect bank notes , coins, bus/ train tickets from all over. I am happy that my state quarter collection is finally complete!

I love collecting playing cards with interesting back designs..my collection is slowly growing. My Missing cards are: Spade - K . Club - 5 . ** Thank you my wonderful swap friends for sending me my missing playing cards in the swap envelop. Am just missing 2 cards to complete my Franken deck! ** My favorite colors are Pink, Red,pastels and gold.. Spring is my favorite season and I love to see flowers in full bloom. I doodle, draw mandalas and starting to learn lettering!

l collect postage stamps (new or old) and have quite a colllection. I have also recently started collecting Starbucks cards( no value) . I love the designs and patterns on them.. and am looking for state/city cards from the US and also from other parts of the world.
