About Me

I'm from North Carolina. I'm a wife, a mom, a crafter and a quilter.

I love receiving decorated envelopes and postcards they make me so happy!!

Some of my favorite things to do are watching action and sci-fi shows and movies, and find treasures at thrift stores and yard sales!

I have swapped many decos, I would love to get some of the ones I made back and see all of the creative pages. If you have one of my decos or a journal and want to send it home please send me a message or email to get my current mailing address. THANK YOU! (My email address is [email protected])

SB Rating

I always make something that I would want to receive. I hope for 5s and hearts.
I try to stick to deadlines and mail on or before those dates. I'll send you a message and let you know if I am having problems.

I rate all swaps. PM me before you rate me if you don't get your swap or if you are unhappy. I will fix it. PM me if you don't get your rating! PLEASE rate my swaps!

If my swap partners send what is required and they mailed it on time I rate it with a 5. I give hearts and glowing comments for thoughtful, and personalized swaps, and engaging letters.

If your swap will be late let me know by the deadline and we will be cool!! Life Happens!

Favorite Crafts

Creating is relaxing for me, my place of Zen. My favorites are quilting, sewing, mixed media art (drawing, collage, painting, stamping), reusing packaging, and junk mail to make cool stuff.

These days I love making my own journals, little books, and zines. I put a lot of time and creativity into them. l love having a book filled with collages, quotes, ideas, pieces of life, drawings, and thoughts.

MY STYLE IS: A lot recycled, collaged, slightly grunge, a little mid-century modern, quirky, a lot of color, stitched, torn, ripped, and unique.

Comment: Thank you for moving this journal along! I've recently been to a couple of estate sales and they can definitely be hidden treasure troves! My girlfriend and I will definitely be going to estate sales for whenever we buy furniture and stuff for our future home. On Saturdays, I'm either doing schoolwork or trying to be productive and do chores/errands. Take it easy!

Just over a year ago you made an angel journal for Pocketsize Journal. I wanted to let you know that it made its way home to me this week! You did a great job creating the journal! At first i thought it was manufactured b/c the binding is soo tight! awesome-sauce...i'm still trying to do my bindings as well as yours :)
