About Me

I live in a very small town in NY. I've been married for 55 years. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two grandsons. I love animals and have four cats ( Dusty, Smokey, Sparky and Spot, our feral barn cat). They love treats and anything that can be used for cat toys. All the cats were rescues. I like gardening, flowers and veggies. I love watching the wildlife at my house, and have many feeders in my yard.

About Me

I enjoy all music but Brad Paisley is my favorite singer.

Favorite Books

I read a lot and enjoy all types of books. I am really a fan of a lot of young adult books. I share a lot of books with my daughters.

Favorite Movies

My favorite movie is The Italian Job.

Favorite Crafts

ATC's, junk journals, sewing, , stamping and paper crafts. I love trying new techniques.

I collect

Candles, pigs, fabric, gnomes, cat items , anything fairy/vintage related. Favorite colors are red, purple and yellow but really like all colors. I also like hot cocoa and decaf black teas. Enjoy peanut butter M and M's, Kit Kat's, peanut butter cups and dark chocolates.

Comment: Goodness Julia, it was like Christmas receiving your swap! Your skeleton PC is just amazing! It is so cool & I love that it's a cat. I'm keeping it for myself! Lol If you got the texture using embossing powder, I'm so jealous! I haven't quite mastered it yet. Thanks so much for everything, including the neat stickers!

Comment: I love them!! I have the perfect jj to put them in. Don't you just love making cute things to share!! Love your story of "leaf peepers" I've actually done this for deco books...watercolor a city scene and then used faux leaves to cover it up but the deco owner gets to lift them up to see the scene. I got the idea from Joony Art - here's the video that inspired me https://youtu.be/91CJcY_Jzmg?si=bx1g8FfxQN-789Jb
Response: Cute and little.. I do enjoy making them for sure. Plan to watch your video tomorrow. Happy fall.

Comment: Hi Julia, I received all three envelopes and wanted to thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful gifts. Each one is so special--the handmade card with the mouse inside of the fuchsia cup, the handmade "Chase your dreams" butterfly pocket letter with themed items inside, and that gorgeous handmade mini dragon envelope--I absolutely love them all. I'm placing the dragon envelope in a small frame for display on my fantasy shelf. Everything feels so personal and full of care, and I'm truly grateful. Thanks again for these beautiful treasures.
Response: I am so glad that everything arrived safe and sound. Have a lovely summer.

Comment: Your envie was almost too cute to open!! I have read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society". I think every book club has had it on its list. I first read it in 2014, then twice since for book clubs, especially before the 2018 movie came out and everyone was trying to read it. I hope you watch the movie too. xxMuggleMom
Response: I shall for sure.

Comment: I will update my rating as the others arrive 😉 but I just wanted to say “thank you” for the adorable gnome fold-out tuck spot thing that you made me with fun-facts about the nation and our USPS! I loved learning more about our country and the cool barn postage stamp on the envelope has a perfectly stamped commemorative cancellation! All three arrived safe and sound 😁
Response: This was a learning about our Country swap and fun too.
