About Me

Mail is terribly slow & unreliable these days. Sometimes mail arrives like it should and other times taking over a month or more.

I always rate asap after receiving a swap. If I haven't rated, I haven't received.

I'm a mother & wife. The hubs and I have been together for over 30 years. Married for 23 years. We have an 20 year old son. We travel the United States doing courier deliveries.

I've been collecting State stickers during our travels for work, for my journal but can't always find one.

Stickers needed: Louisiana, West Virginia

My preferred style to receive is mixed media, happy colors.

(Love Dina Wakley & Jane Davenport styles.)

My style tends to be somewhat eclectic, especially with my creative/junk journals.

I love odd and quirky. Love little trinkets and things from the 80's & 90's.

I love creative Journaling, Mail Art, Collage Fodder, Art Journaling, House shaped art & Art with Human Faces. Ephemera, rub-ons & quotes. Mixed Media. Drawing. I love pom pom trims!

I have a huge rubber stamp collection and a Big Shot Machine for diecutting.

Comment: Wow what a great swap! First I love the envelope you created. Where are those cute mail & pigeon stamps from? You went above and beyond in creating this swap. I love the sewn pocket you created to hold the clusters. The clusters are all fantastic too! I like the wide variety of materials you were able to incorporate.
Response: I'm so happy you enjoyed it all. Those Pigeon stamps are from Diamond Press. Thank you for the heart rating!

Comment: Oh my goodness Tanya!! I would never know you struggle with watercolors!! I love every single fodder that you sent. They are all so different, creative & cute!! I can’t wait to use them but it will be so hard to give them up using them on swaps!! The book page pocket you made is awesome also!! I was recently in a swap to make something with a book page.

Comment: What terrific paper doll art! Her dress is gorgeous with all the trim and details you've added on what looks like hand-painted paper. And the fish net socks and sleeves are beyond awesome. (By the way you've found the perfect image for her head. That part really vexed me on this swap!) I look forward to creating a scrap book for this queen, starting with a dress made from that iridescent paper bag you included!
