About Me

11/24/24 I need your HELP. I RECEIVED A VERY NICE CARD FROM "AMY (craftymtngal). I don't have a last name and I've misplaced the envelope. I would like to send a thank you and a gift for her kindness. If there is anyone that can help me find her I would appreciate it. Or, AMY if you happen to read this, please contact me. Thank you

EDITED 09/30/2023: I like to read, make junk journals, altered books, ephemera from cut-outs from magazines, cards, scraps of paper, ribbon, buttons and other bits and pieces I find.

I LOVE YouTube!!! I follow many crafters and various channels. I like documentaries, history, wild animal cams, some music channels and many other channels that catch my eye.

READING. I got hooked on reading when I was in the 1st grade. It was a highlight of my days in the summer when the bookmobile would come. I started out reading mysteries and love them to this day. I have many many favorite authors. To name just a few; Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Robert B. Parker (RIP). Jonathan Kellerman, John Sanford, and more which I will add later. The list keeps growing as I discover new authors. I welcome any recommendations and would really like to hear about the books and authors you like. I don't read as much as I used to as now I spend a lot of my time on Swap Bot.

I love animals, especially cats; big cats and domesticated cats. I also am fond of dogs, birds, elephants, and cows. Actually I love almost all animals. I love their eyes.

I collect USA postage stamps for the most part, but now also collect stamps worldwide thanks to Swap Bot. I got my first stamp album when I was around 8 or 9 years old. I still have it to this day. So, I've had it over 60 years. Stamps are tiny works of art.

My favorite color is green. As a young girl my favorite color was Cobalt Blue, so it comes in pretty close to Green! Actually, I love color. I think about all the other colors that are truly beautiful.

I want to be the best that I can be. I want to never stop learning and striving to be better. I make mistakes but I try to learn by those mistakes and move on.

I am a Christian and the Lord Jesus Christ is my Saviour.

Comment: Thank you for the Christmas postcard!! :D Denzel Washington is an incredible actor, and my dad's favorite movie series by him is The Equalizer! My dad could watch that series all of the time, and Denzel is his favorite actor as well, so that made me smile when you wrote that Denzel was your favorite actor because he was amazing in the Equalizer one (that was the only one I watched with my dad. My dad has seen the whole series). Thank you so much!! Have a good day!
