About Me

I'm a mother, wife and nature lover.

After working 21 years in a local elementary school, my time is now my own. And I have filled every minute of it.

I have two incredible volunteer jobs ever! During the summer months I am a trail guide at Timpanogos Cave National Monument. And I love it! Spending days hiking the trail and talking to those who are on an adventure is amazing. You can check it out here: https://www.nps.gov/tica/index.htm

During the colder months I volunteer at the Thanksgiving Point Butterfly Biosphere working with the entomologist and horticulturists to help the butterflies thrive. It is peaceful, beautiful and humid. LOVE! You can check it out here: https://thanksgivingpoint.org/experience/butterfly-biosphere/

I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, swimming, pretty much anything! I volunteer as a leave no trace trainer and love to teach and educate others on the importance of respecting our beautiful land.

I love deserts, beaches, forests, all of it! Being outside centers and balances me. You will always find me with a rock, shell or leaf in my pocket. I can't help it!

I have been married to the most wonderful man for 33 years and have 4 children, ages 28-20 and two sweet grand babies! Life is good!

I am an eternal optimist. I try to always look for the good in situations and people.

In Conclusion

Letters are my favorite part of swaps. I love reading about the lives of others.

Tell me about your favorite hobby or your favorite food.

Tell me what makes you happy or what frustrates you.

Tell me what you did yesterday or what you hope to do tomorrow.

Tell me anything.

Happy SWAPPING!

Comment: Cute! I really adore the little bird card 🥰 Another very lovely swap and equally lovely letter. I do enjoy the winter and I wish we got more snow here. However, I can see the snowy tops of the Dolomites from our balcony and I know they are only a day trip away. I look forward to swapping with you again! Merry Christmas

Comment: You always send the most beautiful things. I love that you theme them every time, as well. I think I've kept every wrap band with the palette and inspiration, so far. Some of these will go perfectly with a pile of secondhand supplies I picked up, too! Thanks again.

Comment: Hi from O~Hi~O ! Thanks so much for the wonderful swap. I enjoyed reading your letter. The paper rockets sound like fun! The kids would love it. I've been through Zion National Park, unfortunately we didn't stop. But it is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. As a former semi driver, I've been to 48 of our 50 states. I love all the ephemera you sent, the tag pocket is awesome. The papers you sent are beautiful also. Thanks again and Happy Holidays ~ Judy

Comment: Hi Jill! Thank you for joining my swap, for the pocket and your letter about Glacier National Park and a family tradition. I enjoy these so much! One of my most treasured Christmas traditions with family was driving in the Oregon forest to find and cut our Christmas tree, and a tailgate party (they didn't call it that back then lol) eating Mom's homemade chili, drinking hot cocoa, and snowball fights! Is the blank photo card taken in that national park? It's very pretty! Thank you for the snowman joke and Happy Holidays! Peace. ❤️

Hey I am sorry I just found your letter and will write you I feel so ashamed it was in the fold of the letter.

Random! I just saw that you had written on a rating that you grew up in Reno!! So cool. I am a Nevada girl. Maybe one day we will swap and talk more about it :) If you are interested in joining a fun group that I do a lot of swaps in let me know. It's Sunshine Swaps and Mail if you want to check it out.
