About Me

I love to put pen to paper and I am here looking for fun reasons to do that more often! I'm particularly interested in swapping postcards and letters.

I'm married, we have two adult children and three cats! I have various hobbies and interest such as collecting vintage and primitive witches, fountain pens & ink, hoarding stationery and houseplants, fiddling with needle crafts and fiber arts, often while listening to audio books - Sometimes I read the old fashioned way.

INTJ

A - Z (work in progress)

A: Antiques, art, autumn

B: Birds (crows, ravens, owls, song birds, etc.), bees, botanical art, buttons, brooches

C: Cross stitch, crochet, crystals, cats, cherubs

D: Doors, doodles, dinosaurs

E: Envelopes, evil eye, earthy jewel tones

F: Fountain pens, faeries, forest, flora, fauna

G: Green (my wedding dress was green!), greek mythology, gnomes, goats, goblins, gray

H: Halloween (retro witches & cats)

I: Ink (fountain pens), INTJ

J: Journals

K: Knitting

L: Lunar moths, Lenormand decks

M: Mail! moon phases, mythology, mermaids

T: Trees, Travler's Notebook (standard), Tarot

U: Unicorns

W: Witches (vintage and primitive) washi tape, woodland creatures

XYZ: Zentangle

Favorite Crafts

I'm currently spending most of my creative time snail mailing! :) I'm a long-time knitter, crocheter, cross stitcher, and I sew a little as well.

I also have a daily doodling habit, journal (memory keep) most days, and use a Traveler's Notebook system primarily for functional planning, but I enjoy incorporating artistic elements too.

Favorite Television

Schitt's Creek, The Last Kingdom, The Big Bang Theory, The Office (not much of a tv person)

Favorite Movies

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors, The Lost Boys, Sweet Land (rarely watch movies)

Comment: I have 1 house plant and that is a Christmas Cactus. I would enjoy more. My youngest son had a snake plant but he took it with him when he moved. He told me they are the perfect air filter plant. I have outside plants/flowers. I love not just the colors but I need the aroma they put off. Thank you for sharing your inside green thumb with me. Happy Easter

Comment: I hope everything is back to normal after that crazy potential tornado scare! It was so interesting to read. Must be a pain not to have electricity for days on end. We have these above ground power lines in Australia and often get power outages there too. Here in German they're underground and we've never had loss of electricity! I hope the Betta Fish survived <3 Thank you for your notecard :)

Comment: I’m sorry that you didn’t get to experience having siblings growing up and that none of your step-siblings have really tried to be close all throughout your childhood! I’m glad your youngest brother has reached out and that you two are closer now. Thank you for sharing your story!

Comment: Cute Chicken card! <3 I enjoyed reading your response. I'm the same way about cleaning. Everything needs a home! If it doesn't have a place, it's going to get donated soon, haha. Thanks for the goodies. Happy Swapping :)

Comment: I congratulate you for your upbeat attitude in the face of no power. We have no alternative source of power for even so much as a phone charger, so if the house temperature dropped a single degree below chilly, hubby would have us bundled off to a hotel.
Response: 😂 It was a long four days, for sure!

Comment: Thanks for your weekend card! It's nice to see unique vintage cards, because I feel like you see the same cards being sold in so many online shops. I hope the new fountain pen is just how you wanted it!
Response: I'm glad you like it! I agree, cards, especially postcards, are a challenge to find. Indeed, I love the pen, btw. :)

Comment: Thanks for your nice notecard! I’m always intrigued by these estate sales, I haven’t heard of them happening here and I always wonder what happens to the stuff people have. That’s why I love second hand shops, they’re always more interesting than the normal shops! Thanks for the tea and hope you enjoy Swap-Bot as much as I do.
Response: You're welcome! :) I agree, it's always fun to consider the "stories" an object would tell if it could!
