CMBOND

My name is Cynthia currently in the Pacific Northwest (Olympia, Washington). I am 44 years old and living with my husband and two young adult daughters, 4 dogs, 3 cats, and some chickens.

I work at a pack-and-ship shop. A dream job for a snail mail junkie! !

I love reading!! I am an avid reader, reading/listening to audiobooks up to 100 + a year.

I'll read just about any genre minus a few certain futuristic themes. I am open to all recommendations!

I have been crafting my whole life and have yet to find a craft I haven't wanted to try.

Favorites are (the list is constantly growing)

• Crocheting
• Cross Stitching
• Photography
• Pocket Letters
• ATC cards
• Geli Pressing
• Card Making
• Collage Art Projects
• Junk Journaling
• Bullet Journaling
• Small sewing Projects
• Flipbooks
• Watercoloring

I DISLIKE crude, rude, or vulgarity. Otherwise, my likes list can be endless. I am not religious but not against receiving religious-themed crafts.

I genuinely love it when others swap with their hearts in mind.

I do not have small children so please no children/school-age stickers, foam stickers or glitter.

I'm a big Lord of the Rings/Hobbit, Star Wars fan, and Classic Disney Movies.

I like classic black-and-white films, suspense/thriller (not horror), comedies, historical, and movies/TV shows based on books—too many to list. I'm not too fond of rom-com movies.

I enjoy watching documentaries (all kinds from crime to nature, but especially Ken Burns)
