About Me

After many years as a healthcare professional, I love being retired. :0D

I'm primarily drawn by textures and colour-- in art and life. I love the scent of lilacs and of dinner cooking.

In terms of style,I enjoy classic, vintage, English country, French country, quirky or fun/funky but not "cute-sy" .

I love reading(mysteries,historical fiction, journals,memoirs,some chic-lit) live theatre, foreign films, walks, farmers' markets, Scrabble, NYST crossword puzzle, visiting local art/craft galleries and studios, new foods and new recipes. And, I lose track of time in bookstores, antique/2nd hand/thrift stores and art/craft supply stores. :0D

Favorite Music

classical(Bach,Beethoven,Mozart,Borodin,Greig, classic folk(PP&M,Weavers...), Leonard Cohen, DoWop, Broadway musicals, campfire rounds... :o)

Favorite Movies

Smoke Signals, Calendar Girls, Alfred Hitchcock's mysteries, anything with David Niven, Finding Nemo, Shrek(I loved the donkey!), Victor Victoria, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat(and musicals generally),foreign films, classics.....

Favorite Crafts

chunky/altered/handcrafted books; atc's, handmade postcards; photography, collage, mixed media, embroidery(blackwork/samplers). Though I've yet to "go there", I LOVE crazy quilts-- so much variety, and all that embroidery![chuckle,chuckle}

Comment: I've contacted to find out about this swap but with no reply. Others have received it so I'm sure it was sent and probably missing. I will change my rating when I receive my page.

To all the caring souls who sent me well-wishes during a very dark time, thanyou. They are truly appreciated. Now that I have at least one foot firmly back in the land of the living, I will be working at honouring my "overdue" swap-bot committments. I'm aiming to have them all in the mail by the end of September.

As hostess of this swap I'm mailing you (by snail mail 1/5/08) a hard copy of the swapper that you may or maynot have their address~You may be having computer problems which could explain why you haven't mailed out the Christmas 4x4 or Christmas Circle book?
sojourner on Dec 16, 2007:

A lot of your friends here want to know if you are OK. Just let us know if there is a problem
CARROLL on Dec 14, 2007:

Hi Barbara,

Still waiting to hear if you received the ink-blot postcard I sent back in October. If it never arrived, let me know and I can resend.
JerseyTjej on Oct 7, 2007:

Dear Cookiebear: Just a note to let you know that I ALWAYS look forward to receiving packages from you because you are such a caring artistic and generous swapper. Please know that I think you are among the best on SB and I always look forward to exchanging goodies with you!
