I love painting and dream of having my own art gallery show one day.

My favorite color is yellow but I really don't mind all the other colors.

I'm new here and I am really excited about finding this website. I heard about this website through another person who likes to make greeting cards.

I love painting with acrylics, whether it's canvas, card, cardboard, greeting cards, journals, envelopes, ATC cards, stencils, and much more.

I do want to try my hand at rubber stamping and gelli prints. I have two sisters who are into that whole paper crafting thing and I'm going to have to borrow their goodies before I decide if it's something that I really want to get into. I already borrow a lot of theirs rubber stamps for my mixed media junk journals.

They promised me that they will also get into mine junk journals, stenciling, and acrylic painting.

I've always love to doodle and really getting into the Zentangle thing, and it really relaxes me. I'm hoping to find some Zentangle swaps.

I'm not into stickers, die cuts, sticky notes, bookmarks, or washi tape.

I love cooking, trading recipes, especially recipe cards. I actually collect them and was excited to actually see a few recipe swaps.

I love coffee and I am starting to enjoy tea.

I really love the Dollar Tree stencils and would love to know if anyone would like to do any Dollar Tree stencil swaps. Sometimes it seems like you can find different items in different ones.

I have just recently started staining my own paper with coffees to help me get that vintage look for my paper. I just also started making my own homemade paper with all the scraps that my sister's don't use and if anyone has any tips on that I would love to hear them and I would really love get to the point where I feel they're pretty enough that I could swap some homemade papers here.

I like sending and receiving postcards but I really don't collect them. I hope that it's still okay that I join postcard swaps.

I do love to upcycle and repurpose items. Especially old Christmas cards.
