About Me

**** I had to go out of town on a family emergency. All my swaps are out but will now be rating for several days. Please be patient with me. THANKS

I'm a mother, wife and nature lover.

After working 21 years in a local elementary school, my time is now my own. And I have filled every minute of it.

I have two incredible volunteer jobs ever! During the summer months I am a trail guide at Timpanogos Cave National Monument. And I love it! Spending days hiking the trail and talking to those who are on an adventure is amazing. You can check it out here: https://www.nps.gov/tica/index.htm

During the colder months I volunteer at the Thanksgiving Point Butterfly Biosphere working with the entomologist and horticulturists to help the butterflies thrive. It is peaceful, beautiful and humid. LOVE! You can check it out here: https://thanksgivingpoint.org/experience/butterfly-biosphere/

I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, swimming, pretty much anything! I volunteer as a leave no trace trainer and love to teach and educate others on the importance of respecting our beautiful land.

I love deserts, beaches, forests, all of it! Being outside centers and balances me. You will always find me with a rock, shell or leaf in my pocket. I can't help it!

I have been married to the most wonderful man for 33 years and have 4 children, ages 29-21 and two sweet grand babies! Life is good!

I am an eternal optimist. I try to always look for the good in situations and people.

Likes

Embroidery Floss (all colors)

Unused postage stamps

Sunshine

National Parks

Bees and butterflies

Rocks and minerals

Washi Tape (all colors and patterns)

Hiking

Anything nature related (plants, animals, minerals)

I love all colors!

Everything, I'm not picky. I just appreciate the time it takes to mail something. If it makes you smile, most likely it will make me smile.

In Conclusion

Letters are my favorite part of swaps. I love reading about the lives of others.

Tell me about your favorite hobby or your favorite food.

Tell me what makes you happy or what frustrates you.

Tell me what you did yesterday or what you hope to do tomorrow.

Tell me anything.

Happy SWAPPING!

Comment: Jill, these tags (and pocket) are just beautiful. I love birds on anything and the color palette you used is gorgeous (all those blues!) Thank you so much for another wonderful swap and info sheet, too. Always a pleasure swapping together.

Comment: Thank you so much for such lovely happy mail! Yes, when I was a kid I always wanted cute stationary, notebooks, colorful pens, etc. 12 year old me would be absolutely in awe of my current stash of stuff. :) Around that age is when I first started journaling and it's a very big part of my life to this day. I love that you were able to find swapbot during covid! I found it through an online journaling site called livejournal. I was in a group about people who liked paper journaling and someone shared a link to swap bot. I am so thankful for the site. I've gone through spells where I haven't always been active but I love connecting with people through fun mail. That is so cool that you are a trail guide. I would love to see redwoods in person!! I've never been to a national park and that's a real bummer. Maybe one day I can do some more traveling. :)

Comment: Jill, your swaps are always so fun, not just how nice and neat your craft work is, but the very interesting fact sheets you send. Tho' I've never seen such, I have wondered if there was such a thing as a blue rose since it is my fave color. Hope your spring is blessed.

Hey I am sorry I just found your letter and will write you I feel so ashamed it was in the fold of the letter.

Random! I just saw that you had written on a rating that you grew up in Reno!! So cool. I am a Nevada girl. Maybe one day we will swap and talk more about it :) If you are interested in joining a fun group that I do a lot of swaps in let me know. It's Sunshine Swaps and Mail if you want to check it out. Have a good week! Kristi
