Please note If you are sending mail in a colored envelope that has a soft texture to it most likely it will arrive shredded if you don't tape up the edges. In the last week, I have received 5 envelopes that I am surprised had anything left in them, and they were all colored envelopes. Especially if they feel soft and fragile.

Please reach out to me if my mail doesn't make it to you. I always send within a day or two of being assigned a partner. I will gladly replace or resend. I don't check to see if my swaps have made it to their destination. Some mail can take up to two months I have found!

I rate based on the swap, not on the extras. That being said, if you want to send extras, please feel free to do so, however, I give hearts if you make an effort with your handmade items.

I am retired and loving spending time making art. I love abstract, funky, bright colors, and earthy tones as well. I love to see people create...all levels. I love exploring, taking classes and expanding my art journey. I enjoy making new friends, but have become somewhat introverted since Covid. Trying to "say yes" more to new things.

I am a mixed media artist, making homemade journals, ATC's, tags, zines, and various mixed media and collage art. Drawing and painting faces in journals is my favorite pastime.
I love abstract art, but not geometric. More quirky or bizarre.

I am easy to exchange with. If you make something that makes you happy, chances are it will make me happy also. I just love going to the mailbox and finding an envelope of happy mail :)

HANDMADE POSTCARDS ARE WELCOMED! EVEN IF THE SWAP CALLS FOR STORE BOUGHT.

I love bizarre, strange or unique postcards if you have them. I do not offend easily. (people have tried...lol)

If you want to do a one on one exchange outside of Swapbot, for ATC's, tags, bookmarks, art journal pages, gelli prints, cards, or any kind of art, please send me a private message. Love exchanging art.

Love the oldies, 40's through the 70's and all folk music. I listen to Christmas music all year long, as it inspires me. All musicals.

Harry Potter Movies Jurassic Park movies Time travel movies Apocalyptic movies Oldies such as Doris Day movies Comedy TV shows that distract me from current world situation. Christmas movies (all year long.) Hamilton and Wicked.

I don't have many dislikes as far as swaps. I am not easily offended. I do not care to receive artwork with overly religious sayings. Or art that comes from a very smokey house. That's about it. :). If you take your time to make something, I most likely will like it.
