About Me

I learned about swap-bot from friends who make ATCs at atcsforall. I like making collaged ATCs and postcards, and I've just started learning about junk journals.

I am somnia at AFA, ykarenes on Postcrossing, and ksomnia on IG

Feb 2024; I'm enrolled in Fodder School (I ,II, and III) so I've started accumulating lots of hand-made fodder to to use in my collages.

Dec 2022: I enjoy watching well-edited process videos on YouTube - bonus points if they make a mistake and explain how they moved forward with the project!

Likes

Used postage stamps. I use them to make ATCs and collaged postcards, so it's ok to send me low collector value CTOs, damaged perforations, and duplicates. I like US love stamps, colorful stamps, Christmas, butterflies, flowers, animals, vintage.... I can use almost anything except men's heads or sports.

Wishlist: small die cuts, emtpty outer tea bag packaging. The envelope you open to get to the tea bag often has a colorful image on it. I love to receive these from other countries.

I prefer to receive written postcards in an envelope with nice stamps if it costs the same for you. You can still address the postcard and put a used low denomination stamp on it so it looks like it was mailed "naked" if you want.

Alice in Wonderland

Coffee

Tea - I love black teas. Irish Breakfast and Darjeeling are favorites
Sadly I can no longer do tea swaps because Canada Post will not allow anything that isn't paper to be sent lettermail. Sending tea bags as packages is cost-prohibitive.

The color purple . There is no color that I dislike, though. Create in any color you choose : )

Big cats - cheetahs, lynx, leopards tigers, etc.
Puffins, penguins and woodpeckers
Butterflies

Lichstenstein-style pop art
Murals and street art

Dislikes

Unicorns Horses Dogs Gore

Hobbies

Making atcs and handmade postcards. I'm currently into making maxicards using big postage stamps that would overhwhelm an ATC.

I have a perennial garden that more or less flowers throughout the season.

I use the rhubarb baking muffins. I like baking but don't really like cooking.

For workouts I like swimming, Pilates and circuit training. I used to love to run but am having foot problems.

I'm re-watching Charmed. I can't remember if I finished it completely when it was first on tv, but I remember loving that show.

I've watched Dowton Abbey twice. I really like historical fiction like the Crown.

Comment: Thank you for your paper items sent. I appreciate the used stamps. When you had "coupons," on one of the packets enclosed, I believed it to be grocery coupons. How funny, LOL! The tickets will be used as bookmarks.
