I am the mother to 2 wonderful neurodivergent daughters who I consider my heroes, they are 20 and 23. We all live together (when my youngest is not at college) with our sweet puggle, Chloe. My youngest has an emotional support mule named Chimney! We live in the Adirondacks and winters can be hard but summer here makes it all worth it! I am just getting back in to swap-bot and used to do it when my girls were younger! We did a lot of children themed package swaps, matchbox art, and mosaic art back then. Now, I am excited to learn new crafts and correspond with some of the great people here!

I am learning and re-learning a lot of things- ATCs, junk journals, tags and envelopes! I enjoy writing, paper crafts, art that allows for rookies like me, and making dioramas or odd things that make a statement! I usually create a display and then change the space I place it after a while with some other display! I have had Sesame Street figures on a kids colorful water play toy on display, an Animal Farm creation/ adaptation and most recently a 1984 creation/ adaptation so it is varied. I have a lot of strange little creations that I have up for a while and then take down and store - it brings me joy!

I love watching movies with my younger daughter - we watch 1-2 movies per month, we dislike horror films! We love Marvel and DC films and shows. We also watch a lot of science and nature based shows and anything about animals!
