NOTE 18-4-2026 There are days when I cannot log in to swapbot. This is happening on a regular basis now. I will keep trying but for right now I will not be hosting or swapping.

Hi there I’m Robyn. I am married and have two adult children who live close by and drop in regularly for food. I’m a California native. I was born and raised in L.A. I moved to the netherlands in 1991.

I work as a LPN in a nursing home.

I do not like to cook,I like to eat.

I love foreign films and documentaries.

Things I like:

  • Pandas

  • Listening to audiobooks or podcasts.

  • Making Collage Fodder.

  • Watercoloring (expecially flowers)

  • collecting postage stamps.

  • papercrafts

  • I love birds and flowers

  • Postcards/Stationary

  • English paper piecing.

  • Bits and bobs of things.

  • messing around with my gelli plate.

My swap vibe is vintage.

Please don’t send me:

Disney stuff. Planner/reward stickers. Easter colors and the color pink.

But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. – Psalm 59:16

Comment: All the way from The Netherlands a beautiful one page wonder came to my mailbox! I love the washi you used on the envelope and the pretty little postage stamps. Thank you for all the goodies. (The Netherlands/Holland is my favorite place in the world. I was there once about 50 years ago and I wish I could visit there again.)

Comment: Thank you for the review of Ä Half Baked Idea"and your personal connection with the subject. I read "The Hare with Amber Eyes" from the reading list. It was a memoir of sorts and I also received the history lesson on WWII that I did not know I needed :). Also - the postcards you included are beautiful. Thank you!

I was about to open a claim. It took 3 months to get it delivered. Where do postal people take these packages? Can't believe the quantity of time, but so glad it's finally at your home. Enjoy it.

thank you so much for the forum tag "I Request" swap you sent me, so many pretty papers and washi and notecards :)

Thank you! These [ ] are what I couldn’t remember. I wanted to post a group swap & when I did my clicky link didn’t work. So I deleted it. Now I can rework my swap & post it tomorrow. Thanks again.
