About Me

Updated June 18, 2023

Hello!

I have really enjoyed Swap bot. My favorite swaps are the journal swaps and pen pal letters. Am always up for a private journal swap.

I am the mother of 3 wonderful sons. I am so blessed to have the boys in my life. I also have a bonus son and a bonus daughter.
I have 10 grandchildren.

I am 56 years old and still like girly items like Kawaii and such. Any cute characters is a plus. I love dragonfly's, butterfly's, hearts, stationery, notecards, postcards, and small odd and ends. Send me a recipe or a joke that always is fun to see in a envelope!

During summer we like to grill out with all our family members. P As a family we like to go to car races (my brother Thomas and my son Blake race) Which causes this moma to have nightmares! On weekends everyone likes to go to the river and ride the four wheelers.

My most favorite thing to do is sit at home with my sweetie and watch tv and just hang out together. I usually write my pen pals or work in a journal during this time. Lately I've enjoyed working puzzles such as cross words and Sudoku.

Favorite Crafts

Making small quilts for gifts.

Journaling ( I like to write but can't draw anything)

Simple crafts (would love for you to share some ideals on fast and easy crafts)

I like the fast and easy crafts so I can see the results super fast!!

Favorite Books

One of my favorite authors is Debbie Macomber.

Romance books! (except I don't really like the historical romance)

Favorite Television

Yellowstone

Hgtv

WWE wrestling

Gutfeld

Favorite Music

Brett Michaels

Jelly Roll

Pink

Blake Shelton

Comment: Everything about this envie is so cute, from the envelope itself to everything you included inside! The Galveston postcard especially makes me smile. I've been on a few vacations there, and all of the memories I have are good ones 💜 Thank you for this VERY happy mail!

Comment: Received it today - the knitted cover/ pocket book is a clever idea. Started reading it but it will take a while (I read while I eat lunch) Your handwriting is a challenge but I can't complain because my handwriting is REALLY a lot more difficult -- which I why I type everything I can. Must tell you in all my live and all the people I've met or even exchanges things on Swap-bot, I have never before come across a Luther -- That was my father's name!
Response: Am so glad you got the journal. When I got with Luther he a really wanted me to use his first name Paul. I liked Luther better plus it was what his family and close friends call him. Sorry my handwriting is crazy all over the place, It is much worse the older I get. All the journals I have done yours was the first one that got a cover for the book.

Hello Karen, How are you doing? I am looking through my pile of swap-bot letters and saw one from you. We had swap back in 2010. Time flies. Hope all is well with you :) Cheers! Naomi

Hi! Your blog is really nice! You seem to be very creative and crafty and take up many journalling projects through Swap bot. I especially like the 4 Things lists. I guess writing them down on the blog makes one more accountable to get things done. Keep on blogging!
