A wife of 30+ years, two grown boys, a cat lover. I love to read anything and everything, love to play games, love to travel and see the world, love to craft and be artistic.

Summer is my favorite season and tropical locales my favorite vacation spots, but Christmas is my favorite holiday (in spite of the cold). I thoroughly enjoy decorating for Christmas!

My favorite color is red but I really love all colors in their bright/bold state. Not so much a pastel person.

I've tried so many crafts and like each of them for different reasons. Currently I'm loving paper crafts, collages, making mixed media, cards and handmade postcards. I also enjoy beading, stitchery (small) projects, and photography.

I collect pear themed items and Santas. Other than that I enjoy Asian styled or themed items, modern/contemporary style, and nature and flower themes.

Things I would enjoy receiving:

paper: scrapbooking patterned paper, patterned tissue papers, pretty napkins, handmade paper pieces, etc. canceled postage stamps general paper ephemera like tickets, maps, music, stationery/envelopes, etc. pretty writing or photos book pages (non-English preferred) bookmark ATC or tags any handmade art, mail art, postcard, painted papers, etc. ribbon, novelty yarns, decorative tape, fabric swatches stencils rub on letters or small stamps beads, charms, etc preferably glass or metal not plastic

I don't do scrapbooking (except digitally), so no stickers please.
No shiny, sparkly, glittery things. No kids themed things or things for children including teddy bears, doll themes or cutesy, overly sweet things.
