groundhogstamper

6/20/26. My husband is very ill. I may not be able to do any swapping for a while. I have one swap ready to mail and will send it as soon as I can get it to the mail room. Please be patient with me if I don't get to rate incoming swaps immediately. 6/22/26. A very sad day as my dear husband has passed away.

I am first a Christian (Acts 2:38). Next, I'm married to my best friend. We have 3 sons (all married), 7 grands (2 married), and 2 great grands.

I enjoy anything to do with papercrafting...stamping, making greeting cards, making and swapping ATCs. I've had to downsize a lot after four moves in recent years, but I still have more supplies than I need! Years ago, I taught some stamping classes when I lived in Michigan and then in Texas. Now, I do lots of learning by watching YouTube.

Thrift stores are my favorite places to shop. I also really like Hobby Lobby. I rarely get to go shopping anywhere now, though, as health issues prevent me from getting out much.

I really enjoy most woodland animals. I also love giraffes, zebras, sloths and birds. I love dogs and cats but we don't have any right now. In the past we've had all sizes of poodles and a Cairn terrier. We've never had a cat because hubby is very allergic to them.

I love all colors, but I cannot handle neon colors as they trigger my migraines. I like to do collages and masterboards. I love to do fussy cutting. Ephemera is much appreciated. I love die cuts also. I'd rather not receive postcards as I don't collect them, but when I do receive any, I pass them along to others who collect them. It's always fun to find return address labels in Happy Mail.

I have a collection of plants, including Thanksgiving/Christmas cactus and succulants. and some herbs, even celery. Some stay indoors and some go out on the patio during the warm months. We have a few flowers growing in pots on the patio also. The purple petunias are so pretty.

I like herbal teas and trying anything except chocolate flavored and English Breakfast. I don't drink coffee or hot chocolate. I know I'm weird, but I don't much care for chocolate unless it's milk chocolate, but I like black licorice. I also like peppermints, and peanut butter fudge! The fudge is only a Christmas Eve treat though.

Old hymns, acapella

Family-type movies

We watch family-type movies on YouTube. We also enjoy keeping up with Cog Hill Farm on YouTube, and we watch the local university basketball games.

Rubberstamping and ATCs. I like "tasteful" ATCs - none with even partial nudity or very weird and nothing from the dark side, no Halloween and no skulls. Please, nothing with snakes or spiders on. I'm very afraid of both. Also, I'd prefer not to receive any religious items except Bible verses.

I do mostly collage ATCs. Occasionally I've done some stamping, and I love watercoloring. I definitely don't consider myself an expert, but I really enjoy making and swapping those little pieces of art.

It's always a joy to receive any of your handmade paper crafts in the mail.

The Bible, Christian novels, Amish romance, anything about papercrafting. Also, I love to read cookbooks. (I don't enjoy cooking so much, but I do enjoy baking). I like Daphne's Diary and some Stampington magazines, but don't get any magazines now.

I'm happy to receive almost anything, but I do have a small list of dislikes: . Snakes and spiders . Neon colors . Anything Disney . Kids and teacher stickers . Anything for kids (no littles close by any more) . Some religious items/best not to send any . Smoke, musty and fragrance odors that trigger my migraines.
. Anything to do with witchcraft, etc.

If you ever receive something from me with Postage Due, please let me know. I will be happy to reimburse you.

One more thing...just to let you know I have asthma and can't handle smoke odor. Also, I'm allergic to chemicals used in fragrances. Please do not send me anything with odors that will trigger migraines and asthma attacks.
