Swapping

I take my swapping very seriously, I like to read my partners profile to get a sense of who they are and will always try to send things that will make them smile!

If for some reason you do not get a package from me, please pm me and I will resend. If for some reason I would ever be late, I will always pm you before the send date.

About Me

**Favorite Quote: “A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” -Walter Witchell

I’ve been swapping now since Feb. 2008. I am totally addicted and have made many new friends. I love to surprise my Swap-Bot friends with RAKs and cards.

I'm a homemake who has been married for 42 years to my best friend Mike. We have 2 grown children, a beautiful grandson and adorable grandaughter. We have a german shepherd that is a big baby. We have a Harley and love to ride through the parkway when it's nice out. I have a beautiful craft room that my husband built me to do my crafting in.

My favorite colors are green and purple.

Favorite Books

I love to read science fiction and thriller/suspense books. My favorite book series is the Xanath series by Piers Anthony. Some other authors that I like are Patricia Cornwell, Johnathan Kellerman, Robin Cook and James Patterson.

Favorite Movies

I like action/adventure, comedy and science fiction movies.

Favorite Crafts

Since joining swap-bot I have had the pleasure of being exposed to artist and art that I had never seen before. The level of craftsmanship still amazes me and makes me want to explore my own talents. I enjoy making postcards, atc's, bookmarks, and decorating envies.

Things I like

-Some themes I like: Birds, Fish, Dinosaurs, Animals, Mushrooms, Science Fiction, Bugs & Lizards

-Stickers (both loose and sheets)

-Used Postage Stamps & Airmail Labels

-Handmade postcards

-Rubber Stamps

-Small Embellishments

-Receiving swaps in decorated envelopes

-Ephemera of all kinds

-Bookmarks

-Colored Pens

-Sticky Note pads

-Fun Office supplies (I have a strange obsession with office supplies, especially fun colored ones)

-Anything made by you

Comment: What a lovely vintage feel to this ATC - very warm. And a very inventive way to make the puzzle piece stand out, by wrapping wire around it, like people do with jewelry - very clever! And thanks for the extras - all of nature - yay!!!!

Comment: First of all love the envelope from old magazine(WorkBasket?) and all the extra adds in the lovely Mikado envelope. And then we must not forget the main event-the ATC's were great-love the monotone/sepia look of it and again using the old adds. Thanks so much for sharing with me! Happy Fall!

Comment: Gorgeous, gorgeous green HMPC! I love how you used the candy wrapper - the post office machines must have been hungry too because they tried to chew it up but the pc held up well. One of the butterflies is wounded but will still fly! xxMuggleMom

RE: September RAK #5. I forgot to tell you that your collaged envelope is so beautiful. It's so colorful and interesting to look at. There's so much detail and you can tell you took your time to create a fantastic piece of art. I was able to take off the address labels so I can use it again. Maybe! Right now it's on my bulletin board so I can enjoy looking at it!!! Heart 💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️
