About Me

I am first a Christian and next, I'm married to my best friend. We have 3 sons, all married, 7 grands (2 married), and 1 great grand.

I enjoy anything to do with papercrafting...stamping, making greeting cards, making and swapping ATCs. I've had to downsize a lot after three moves in recent years, but I still have more supplies than I need! Years ago, I taught some stamping classes when I lived in Michigan and then in Texas. Now, I do lots of learning by watching YouTube. I also make cards for "Cards For Kindness". They have a website, if you would like to see what they are all about.

Thrift stores are my favorite places to shop. We have a new store in town that's fun, too. It's called Bargain Hunt. They have bins of returns from Amazon and on certain days anything in the bin is $1.00. I've found some great bargains!

I really enjoy most woodland animals. I also love giraffes, zebras, sloths and birds. I love dogs and cats but we don't have any right now. In the past we've had all sizes of poodles and a Cairn terrier. We've never had a cat because hubby is very allergic to them. We do feed the stray cats and the squirrels that come to our patio and, of course, we name each of them. Our favorite kitty is BarCode. She likes to nap on the patio or under the bedroom window. The three squirrels are Squeaky, Poppy and Sweet Tea. We also have two birds (brown thrashers) that come and bathe in the water bowl. My husband has also seen a possum out there eating during the night. We never dreamed we would be able to enjoy some wildlife on our tiny patio here in the city.

I love all colors, but I cannot handle neon colors as they trigger my migraines. I like to do collages and masterboards. Ephemera is much appreciated. I love die cuts also. I'd rather not receive postcards as I don't collect them.

I drink tea, but not real often. I have quite a collection of it right now. I don't drink coffee or hot chocolate. I know I'm weird, but I don't much care for chocolate any more, and I do like black licorice. I also still like peppermints, and peanut butter fudge! The fudge is only a Christmas Eve treat though.

Favorite Music

Old hymns, acapella

Favorite Movies

Hallmark's and other family-type movies

Favorite Television

We don't have cable, so watch family-type movies and the news on YouTube.

Favorite Crafts

Rubberstamping and ATCs. I like "tasteful" ATCs - none with even partial nudity or very weird and nothing from the dark side, no Halloween and no skulls. Please, nothing with snakes or spiders on. I'm very afraid of both. Also, I'd prefer not to receive any religious items.

I do mostly collage ATCs. Occasionally I've done some stamping, and I love watercoloring. I definitely don't consider myself an expert, but I really enjoy making and swapping those little pieces of art.

Favorite Books

The Bible, Christian novels, Amish romance, anything about papercrafting. Also, I love to read cookbooks. I like Daphne's Diary and some Stampington magazines, but don't get any magazines now.

About Me

If you ever receive something from me with Postage Due, please let me know. I will be happy to reimburse you.

One more thing...just to let you know I have asthma and can't handle smoke odor. Also, I'm allergic to chemicals used in fragrances.
