About Me

I am 48, happily married and mother to an eighteen year old boy.

I am French Canadian so I can also write/swap in French.

I have been a phone repair clerk, teacher, post office worker, book buyer, floral designer assistant and flea market vendor. Currently, I am working at an agricultural consulting business. I love cats, the circus, Star Trek, books, Doctor Who and stamps. I am a Christian but tolerant of all views of the Creator/Creatrix as a loving being.

I love short handwritten letters, postcards and any other items that a life archivist might cherish.

November 2011 for the first time, I met one of my swap bot partners! That was an exciting day and a great stamp sale (if you're ever in Hamilton Ontario, I recommend it).

Things I love/love to swap

*Postcards *Stickers *Pretty stamps(see stamp section) *Stereoscope cards *Quotes *Recipes: I love chocolate, mint, gooey pecan desserts and the other food groups:recipes with chick peas, pork, bacon, pizzas.... *Anything cats *Maps *Bookmarks *Square Magnets *Book reviews *Buttons *Keys *photographs of doors *photographs in cemeteries *pingu *patterned socks *horses for two friends who collect them *any broken jewelry/watches *fortune cookie fortunes *anything North/South Dakota, esp. Fargo *anything New Mexico (even just information)

Collecting by themes

Most of my collections are sorted by themes. My stamp collection is sorted by themes rather than countries. For example, I have pages of cat stamps and of women of worth stamps.

My book collection contains a few themes that I love to read over and over again. I love books written by people with autism/aspergers like LOOK ME IN THE EYE. I love books about holocaust survivors since they celebrate the strength of the human spirit. I also have a selection of circus and animal biography books.

I would love my house to be decorated by themes. I have a Star Trek room already (Next Generation is my favourite followed by the original). Someday I would also like a circus room. I collect memorabilia from a local circus, the Conklin show but I would love items from other circuses...postcards, tickets, anything. I love Cirque du Soleil and just saw Totem. Didn't like it as much as Ovo but it was awesome and Ovo was beyond extraordinary.

Please don't send me...

*Scented items *Food/edibles *Dollar store items (stickers okay though)

My cats

Skittles is a black and white short haired five year old. His name suits him because he is very skittish (nervous). Skittles would eat himself to death if allowed. All he thinks about is kibbles.

Smokey is my rescued baby, found at a construction site across the street. He was four weeks old. He is grey and long-haired. He shows signs of being a little bit simple like when he forgets that he is hunting a fly or forgets where we are and starts crying.

New addition 2013: Vinnie!!! Vinnie is in the witness protection program for his connections with the mob but he still has mischievous criminal tendencies.

RATINGS

I usually prepare my swaps as soon as I sign up and have them ready before having partners. If the swap would benefit from looking at someone's profile, I adjust or start the swap after looking at my partner's profile.

I have resent a swap when for some reason it did not get there. So just let me know if there is a problem.

I am caught up on my rating so if you have not been rated, I have not received your swap yet.

My erratic schedule

You'll notice that I am inconsistent in joining swaps but that's because I don't join them unless I truly know I have enough time for them. In the summer I have less time because of camping.

My stamp collection

I inherited my dad's stamps when he passed away in 2009. I didn't know much about stamps at the time and although I have learned some things, I am still fairly new at this hobby. I don't collect by country. The themes in my albums include: animals, pages of historical women, art, maps, any Winston Churchill, cartoons, astrology, seasons and keys on stamps...I think that's all but I might add a new theme tomorrow! -Added themes: world expo 1967 in Montreal Canada ( I don't collect any other expos). My son is collecting stamps with mustaches!!!

Favorite Movies

I love odd movies like Harold and Maude or The Gods Must be Crazy....I guess I'm an indie kind of gal. I also love Up and Finding Nemo. I cannot abide horror or needless suspense created by music. Don't get me wrong though, I enjoy most action movies, westerns and mysteries. I would also like to explore more of the classics. My favourite classic is Charades. I also love movies with twists like Sixth Sense, The Village and The Book of Eli. Just saw Cowboys and Aliens and I loved it too!!!!

Comment: Linda I wish I could give you two hearts. I don't even know where to begin to tell you how happy your swap made me. You read my profile and I gave me so many things from it. I loved every single stamp you sent me. That large space one was AMAZING! I have never seen anything like it. All the dog ones were adorable. Thank you so much for everything and for making swapping so enjoyable for me.

Comment: I got your envelope too! Love it when that happens! Thanks for everything... I think my favourite is the postcard of Native American symbols. And thank you for picking out such nice stamps. I'm so jealous of you getting a circus museum, would totally love to do a related swap :)

Hi, you are a great swapper. I always love to trade with you. It is very sad you got that one. The same person gave me a one 1 too (and changed it later in a 5 with a heart). That person has personal troubels at the moment. It is a pity it affected you. You don't deserve that one.

Barbara on Feb 15, 2014:

Linda, you have a great profile here on swap-bot. Thanks again for the cherry blossom maxim card and little winter bunnies stamps on your recent cover. You are so lucky to live near a stamps store!

Lexidh on Apr 7, 2013:

Thanks for all the great stamps from the exchange sheet envie =) Loads of goodies!

Lexidh on Dec 22, 2012:

Thank you for the gorgeous, glittery kitty-Christmas card! Merry Christmas =)

MBrunt on May 8, 2012:

Thank you for the stamps in the forever stamp exchange. The stamps on the envie are also beautiful. Think I will find lots of new ones. Have a beautiful day!!

Lexidh on Jun 7, 2011:

If your packaging gets any cuter I'll flip over and die on the spot!

Lexidh on Oct 21, 2010:

I would love to do a private postage stamps swap with you =)
