Laughter is by definition healthy.- Doris Lessing

Hello everyone! My name is Rebecca.

I always send, if you don't receive from me, please let me know. The mail is not always predictable!

I reuse mailing envelopes and boxes. If I receive something I can't use, I will pass it along to someone I think can put it to good use. I hope everyone does the same thing, one person's dislike can be another person's love!

I am a stay at home Mom. My husband kinda supports my crafting, as long as I don't forget to make dinner. My kids range from 24-10. 3 boys and one girl. 4 furboys- Mikey, Benny, Woody aka Tubby and fluffy Harvey. Our sweet pup is Junie.

I am rarely a serious person- smart arse, nerdy and silly describe me best. I usually get a joke about 3 minutes after the punchline is told, I've learned it's okay to laugh at yourself.I I love to read, bake, watch True Blood now it's Game of Thrones, go on nature walks, skip rocks, craft, craft and craft some more. I suffer from depression and ADD, the depression is finally under control, working on the ADD. It's much better!!

I will be swapping only in the groups I'm in and tagging in the US only. Ugh has postage gone UP!

I haven't listed my fav books, cause I don't want to hurt any book's feelings. I LOVE books!! All kinds- romance, mystery, paranormal, modern, cookbooks, self help....you name it and I will probably read it!!

I love to craft!! I get part of one done and then move on to the next one. I am now making wreaths, felt owls, covered journals, cat and dog toys. Art journals, ATCs and backgrounds. Plus learning to draw and use alcohol inks.

Here are a few of my likes-

Cats, cats and more cats!- pens, pencils, trinkets, ornaments, stuffies, Maneki Neko, fabric, ribbon, lace, key chains, hair clips, scarves, books, calendars, Kliban and Simon....you get the picture :P Pusheen is adorable!

Steam punk- especially animals in steam punk gear.

Catnip kitty toys or bell balls or real fur mice/balls.

Flower themed items- I love violets, peonies, cabbage roses, tulips, wisteria, plumeria and dandelions plus poppies.

My favorite color is blue, all shades. I like purples and light to med. pinks. Black and grey are lovely. I love most cool colors. I don't care for orangey red or bright green... I don't like orange or yellow unless it's pastel or muted. Yucky to gold!

Chocolate- dark, milk, white- with nuts, without nuts. Kinder of all kinds are greatly appreciated! I like it with oranges, raspberries, strawberries, pomegranate. Truffles, yummy :)

Buttons!!! Any size, colors, wood, vintage, glass, plastic...any and all are fine.

Scarves- lightweight, floral, solid color, thin or fat ones. I wear them with tees and jeans, tees and skirts, I love them! Or heavier weight ones for winter.

Vintagey handkerchiefs- I put them in the pockets of my jackets, a fun quick fashion statement. And I'm making kitchen curtains out of them.

I adore 40's kitchen themes. Colors, dishes, linens, etc.
