About Me and My Likes

I am a bookkeeper by day and a crafter by night. Crafts made from textiles are my first love. My sewing machine is never used for traditional sewing...I like to sew items to paper for a unique look.

It is funny recently I discovered I love losing myself to songs with great lyrics. Great singer-songwriters who express life through music. Ahhhh!

I have two teenage children, three dogs, wonderful parents, and I am blessed with a fabulous job.

I love thrift stores, garage sales, & estate sales.

Several years ago I started my Etsy store. The experience has been wonderful and many of my customers are also friends. The best of all worlds.

I appreciate all gifts and have gotten wonderful items.

  • Things I do NOT LIKE:
  • Passion Stickers
  • Foam Cutouts
  • Nothing Modern or Way Out There
  • Anime
  • No Super Heros - Marvel, etc.

Dreaming of Mountains

I live in the suburbs of Houston, TX, and dream of moving to the mountains. I will always research where my swap-bot partner lives. It is nice to mentally escape my surroundings. I have lived in the Houston area all of my life.

What I LOVE

Recently, I discovered Postcrossing...very exciting to receive cards from all over the world.

I LOVE making ATCs and PCs if you ever want to do a private swap. It would also be fun to collage a shape if anyone would like to play.

I love textiles!!!! Any sort of sewing notions, vintage or new. I love online auctions!!! When I find vintage quilts, vintage fabrics, notions, and ephemera, I go crazy....probably too crazy!!!!

Comment: Rating has been changed from 1 to 3 after several back-and-forth emails over a period of 2 months. Her claim was that she never received from her (other) partner to pass onto me. However, she never contacted me to let me know that she had nothing to send for over a month. Therefore, I had no book to send to my partner. After giving her a 1 rating she reached out again and we agreed that I would change the rating if she sent a book even though the swap is long over. I received it today so I'm changing from 1 to 3.
Response: I do not feel my response was hostile. I cannot send what I did not receive from a participant. So this put me in a bad place. All I CAN say we have had issues with our mail. It is all over the news. I went through my email and noticed I was in touch with Donna. She asked me if I had a book round that round and that someone turned up MIA. I NEVER got any of my TWO books I made back.

Comment: Thank you so much for the cool PC and answers! We matched on everything except how to cook a turkey. Fried turkey is big in Texas these days. Personally, I prefer baked. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Hugs, Diane

Comment: Thanks for a neat chunk. You didn’t include the month portion of the swap ID so it took a little longer to track it down.

OMG! I feel so very spoiled this morning! I just opened your wonderful gift for my AAtW Sept wishlist. All of your creations will go into my junk journals. I love the scrappy cluster and tag for Halloween and the altered book page pocket for AIW. Thank you for really making my day special! Aloha

Thank you for the August AATW wishes! I love the space postcards and plan to hang them up above my craft desk so I can see them often. I love seeing pictures of anything in the universe as it's so incredible! :)
