About Me

NOTICE: I had an unexpected hospital stay and am getting out 3 late swaps on 9/11/13. I believe I have contacted those effected. Hate late swaps, my biggest apologies as I get back on my feet.

I love snail mail, happy mail, letter writing, postcard sending and pen pals! I've done this for a few years now with friends, but I just discovered Swap Bot and am eager to join the fun! No flake here ;-)

I'm a Christian and I busy stay at home Mom of 4. My idea of a perfect day is spent rummaging through thrift stores, estate and yard sales followed by a green smoothie and a nap. I miss my California home and I LOVE the beach! I'm involved with local animal rescue groups and have 6 dogs! I'm crazy for anything vintage and antique especially books, dishes and jewelry. Interested in 1940s fashion and hairstyles. Love to read. I own waaaay too many books. Never met a candy I didn't like! Recently picked up running and am training for a 5k. I'm also interested in health related topics like natural remedies and nutrition. Went to Ireland last summer and think I left my true self there, lol. Best 2 weeks of my life, almost. I find other cultures fascinating. I'd like to visit Japan someday too. Like to cook, particularly vintage recipes. Although, pizza is my hands down favorite food on this planet! Nothing better than ending a day with hot tea and British TV. I collect vintage children's books and hope to author children's literature one day. Teal, that's my favorite color :-)

Favorite Music

All kinds! Country Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Lee Brice, Lady Antebellum Pop - John Mayer, Katie Perry, Rock-Nickelback, Lifehouse, Christian- Kari Jobe, Mac Powell, Toby Mac, Plumb, Seventh Avenue North

Favorite Books

She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd The Secret Fan by Lisa See Memoirs of a Geisha Hunger Games Trilogy. The KJV Bible. Anything on Abraham Lincoln.

Mostly historical fiction and a bit of dystopian literature.

Favorite Movies

The Notebook. Labor Day. Safe Haven. The English Patient. Forest Gump. Sixteen Candles. Pretty in Pink. 80s movies. Hallmark Christmas movies.

Favorite Television

Downton Abbey. Call the Midwife. Mad Men. Bomb Girls The Home Front. Impractical Jokers. Criminal Minds. Cold Justice. Breaking Bad. Catfish. Intervention.

Favorite Crafts

Paper crafts. Mini books and journals. Hand dyed ribbons. Random felt creations. Washi tape projects. Recently started art journaling and playing around with art envelopes.

Likes/Dislikes

Likes: I'm happy to receive things YOU think are neat! I'm not very picky, but appreciate a nice effort. Things that could make my day but are not necessary are vintage things, interesting paper ephemera, minature books, small journals, beach related items, mermaids, handmade things (if you have a skill or talent, Id love to see it!),decorated art envelopes, anything that represents your country or where you live . Stationary, postcards and kawaii items. Candy and snacks are cool!! Love bracelets too.The thing I most enjoy about swaps is the element of SURPRISE :-) Dislikes: Very few, but nothing related to other religions and/or dark and death themed items (zombies, blood and gore, witchcraft, spells, amulets, crystals, supernatural/paranormal, occultic, zodiac, chakras, new age, etc, etc). Christian related items are welcomed.

Postcards

I like ALL postcards, but have a special affinity for :

Weird/non sensical/kitschy postcards, old or new.. (No idea why! )

-Victorian or Art Deco themed -Mid Century era -Children's Literature or Fairy Tale themed -WW2 (bomb girls, pilots, planes, ads, etc) -Abraham Lincoln -Books/reading themed -Beach themed -Whimsical themed -Retro/Vintage
