I would describe myself as crafty, outgoing, and creative.

I love true crime and the supernatural.

I am currently reading: The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros, and The Next Conversation; Argue Less, Talk More by Jefferson Fisher. I just finished The One Memory Of Flora Banks by Emily Barr and it was fantastic! (4-20-2025)

Comment: Thank-you for the lovely postalette and vintage pics. I love that can just see the corner of the shadow of the person taking the one of the house, and that their little dogs are in the photo. A little snap of history ♥ I went thrifting yesterday to find a vase and came out with a few extra “have to have this” items lol. I love finding stationary but this trip was a bust on that front. Currently re-reading the Thursday Murder Club series, re-reading is one of the things I do when I need a break from thinking, and that is always easier if I already know how the story ends:) I hope you are having a lovely weekend and things continue to go well for you!!
Response: You’re welcome. I am glad you like the vintage photos. I think they are always fun to find. I have a Thursday Murder Club book on my shelf that I haven’t read yet. Now I will bump it up closer to my next read, lol. Thanks for telling me. Thank you.

Comment: Hi Kaci! Thank you for the awesome Canada map pc! I took a train for a day trip many moons ago into Canada but am having a brain toot as to where it took us - sigh! How exciting about your upcoming trip to Spain! We are hoping to take a trip out west to see Mount Rushmore and other sites out that way in the fall. For now, I have quick trips to CO and TN next month - looking forward to both! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Thank you for the birds PC. They definitely have wings. We got 80s here too.
Response: You’re welcome. I was worried to send something edgier. Thought maybe it would be too boring if I sent a plane or something like that. Thank you!!

Comment: Hey Kaci, thanks for the cool postcard with the cat 😄 I totaly understand the urge to read something light and predictable. It is also my to-go place whenever I need a pause from rumination. It's funny though, that I only read those books in english, because somehow I tend to think they're more sophisticated than in german or my mother tongue 😂 Take care!
Response: I am glad you liked the cat pc! Ha, ha, funny about the romance/rom-com books. Hope you’re reading something good. Thank you.
