PLEASE NO WASHI TAPE ON PLAYING CARDS. I think the heat is causing the tape to ruin cards. Thank you.

July 13, 2026: Just completed my 500th swap!!

With Swap-Bot being unpredictable, I'm not tracking dates marked "sent". And, with the USPS being so crazy, I'm not checking postmarks. The PO can postmark 2-3 days after they receive my envelope.

Okay, listen up 2026…you’ve got to be a lot nicer than 2025. LOL. I have been sick since I woke up on 12/19/2025. I went to urgent care 1/4/2026, now I have a sinus infection and bronchitis. As if, having the flu wasn’t bad enough. While I was at urgent care, I heard them say they didn’t have a test yet for what they’re calling the “super flu”. Yikes!! Stay healthy, all my swapping friends.

While I was on vacation, hubby fell 11/22 on his left hip, breaking it in 2 places, 3 days before I returned on 11/25. I’m back to being a full-time caregiver, working and taking care of the house. Gotta love life…LOL.

5/31/2025: poor hubby fell off a ladder & shattered his right leg. :(

I was born in CA, grew up in OR. Lived in MS 14 years, ID for 11 years, now we’re in AL.

Hubby and I have 3 dogs. We’ve been married for 32 years. We do some hobbies together, but I haven’t gotten him interested in paper crafts. LOL!

I’ve been listening to a lot of Christian music, lately. I really enjoy Crowder, TobyMac, Brandon Lake, Haley Jones, Lost & Found, Zack Williams, Third Day, Jars of Clay, Ann Wilson, DC Talk.

I love older (classic) rock & roll from the 70's & 80's.

Some of my favorites are: AC/DC, Tom Petty, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Bad Company, Billy Idol, Depeche Mode, Fleetwood Mac, Kid Rock, Jimmy Buffett, The Steve Miller Band, Paul Simon, CCR, Eddie Money, Cher, Michael Jackson, Warren Zevon, Boston…. I don't care for country & western.

I don't read very often, but when I do I like a good mystery. I enjoy Mary Higgins Clark, James Patterson, Stephen King.

I guess since I've discovered Smash Books, that's my favorite book now. Teehee. I'm always watching for things to smash.

Now, I love making Junk Journals. They are SO much fun and they have endless possibilities.

I don't have cable (by choice). I love law enforcement, court room/law, mystery series. Bruce Willis is my all time favorite actor.

2025: I’ve discovered napkin art and I LOVE it. I’m so amazed at all the different available napkins. They’re so awesome.

I love all sorts of paper crafts, altered playing cards, I do a little bit of beading too. My current favorite colors to craft with are: Purples, pinks & lime greens. I love turquoise too, it's a very pretty color to work with. I love red and black together. I really like pink & brown together. My least favorite colors are yellow & orange, but they have their purpose and get used when needed. Teehee. Orange and turquoise together are pretty cool.

POSTCARDS: I like them naked, stamped and with a little note. If the swap calls for them to be in an envie, that's great too. I like all sorts of postcards.

Ephemera

I collect Queen of Hearts playing cards - Really love fun shaped ones too.

I love swapping and being a good swapper. If I sign up for a swap, I will be sending out the item(s). If there has been a misunderstanding about swap requirements, please message me before rating a 3. I will happily discuss it with you, and fix any mistake I have made and resend the swap! If you do not receive something from me, PLEASE message me, and I will rectify that. I want my partners to have a good swapping experience as well.

I mark sent when I put the swap in my mailbox. Our PO is small (they close early on Wednesdays). They only clear out the inside drop box once a day at 2:30pm. My mail pickup is late in the afternoon. If I mark sent on a Sunday, that means I have dropped it by the PO on my way to church.

Don’t have many, just don’t care for witchcraft related stuff, tarot cards, etc. Thanks.

Silver tone is my preference.
