About Me

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.

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!

This was truly an amazing swap. Thanks again!

Comment: It's interesting coincidence that that I should get the junk mail booklet from you today. I was just working on mine-got the cover done just need to add the pages. And your letter couldn't come at a better time-I'm sending my booklet to a swapper in ALASKA! Very interesting facts! I have actually been to Alaska three times-my sister and brother in law lived there for 10 years or so and I had chances to go see them after I graduated from high school in 1970-then later in 70's and then in the mid 80's with my husband and my family. It is so beautiful there! Anyway-I digress! Butterflies are amazing-even the ones not dipped in gold! And most important lest I forget-I do love the junk mail booklet-love the knight-the paper variety and the cute size! Thanks for being a good partner! Take care!

Comment: Hello buddy! I loved the envelopes you made they are perfect for spring! I need to make a card to mail them in the next month. Can you believe Easter is about a month away? Time is passing quickly. I love the envelope style you made, I need to learn to make that one. I usually make coin envelopes, those come out nicely when I make them LOL Your letter was the best part of the swap, thanks for sharing Hmmm, I don't remember collecting anything when I was 12. I remember playing a lot of football, so much so, that I broke my wrist. But today, I ambivalent about it. I also loved to create things so maybe that is the obsession that stuck with me? I've had a panda collection since I was about 5 and that is still a part of my world. I came across swapbot about three years , I used to be in a club to swap homemade crafts. There used to me a monthly theme. Then they closed down and I found swapbot. One of these days I need to get to your National park. it's about a ten-hour drive from me. Death Valley is pretty cool! I've been there a couple of times on my way to or from California, but did not realize that had birds. We're usually there pretty early in the morning. thanks for sharing! Hugs.
