About Me

My favorite color is GREEN!

As of April 2015, I am a czt and totally addicted to tangling. I also hold classes in zentangle.

I love things from nature like trees, leaves, butterflies, flowers and birds. Even fairies and goddesses make me smile. I love to make art! And I love to receive something handmade from you. I love to make art dolls and altered books, which include tip-ins and chunky pages.

Sometimes for fun and more creativity I make a few ATCs, decos, altered tins... I love to try new art projects... And I knit when I want to relax. Sometimes I sew, quilt and crochet, too.

Favorite Books

I love to read! I like cozy mysteries, darker mysteries, non-fiction, and sometimes even a young adult book or two.

What I like to Receive

I love to receive handmade items! Some of the things I just love that I've received from swaps here on swap-bot so far include... a beautiful quiltie, dotee dolls, a handmade quilt, knitted prayer shawl, knitted washcloth with handmade soap, knitted dish rags, painted spoon ornament, tip-ins, altered book, sewn pin cushion, mini-fairy doll, a wonderful painting of Happiness... so many wonderful swappers here! Even a handmade deco page or ATC would be appreciated. I find so much inspiration in seeing what someone else has made.

Did I mention that my favorite color is GREEN...

What I don't want: please no strong smells, like perfume, bath stuff or incense. I'm vegan, so nothing about farm animals or meat.

Comment: Love your little kitties! I think it’s cool you’ve got a peach truck that comes by! Fresh peach jam sounds sublime.

Response: Thanks for the rating and heart. Yes, I finally dropped off the kittens! It was a first time for me with a peach truck. I think it's an East Coast thing.

Comment: It is fun to recognize an envelope from you, and always nice to hear from you. We have a number of Free Little Libraries and some Blessing Boxes, but no FLAGs.

Response: Thanks for the smile and the rating. I guess my envelopes have a certain look about them this year. Yes, I like free little libraries, too, but I love when I find one of the rarer FLAGs.

Response: Thanks for the rating and heart. Yes, I was surprised to read about his grandparents and their property. I'm planning a visit sometime to Mr. Roger's hometown of Latrobe, too.

Comment: Sorry to hear you didn't get much done but since you had a guest, I know that makes it harder. Hope you feel more accomplished next round!

Response: Thanks for the rating. I didn't get many things on my list done, but I had a mini vacation and enjoyed myself. I think I deserved that break.

Comment: I loved your Walk in the Park zine. It reminds me to go out and pick some wild flowers. The daisies and crown vetch are in bloom here, chicory too. I love the catalpa tree. A giant among trees. Their huge heart shaped leaves are magnificent. Thanks so much for making and sharing your zine with me.

Response: So glad that you enjoyed my zine with nature journaling. This is definitely something I want to do more often. Interesting that you have similar plants near you. I had never seen the catalpa trees before.

Comment: Hi, thanks for sending these 2 zines. I've been Geocaching since 2009, it's lovely to see a zine about that. Maybe this time I will try to find one in Paris. Adding to the Summer Bucket List: Sit in a café, watch people. Sit in the rocks see the waves of the Atlantic Ocean coming in. Some other items from your Summer Bucket List will be done, too.

Response: How wonderful to meet another geocacher here on swap-bot! I hoe you find a cache in Paris. I love what you added to your summer bucket list. I'd love to hear how it went at the end of the summer. Thanks for the rating and heart!
