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 31 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: Thank you for the lovely swap. I have that same paper that you used for the main folio. One of my faves! Your letter was so nice to read. We are hoping to do some traveling with visitors this summer. Our spring break is right around the corner and we’re going to Sofia, Bulgaria and Malta. It should be fun. Thank you, thank you!

Comment: Hey Jill, OMG! I love the index card pocket you made for me, thank you! This is such a fun way to share goodies. Loving all the neat stuff you sent my way, especially that pic of California poppies, just lovely! I’m always interested in the scientific facts you send along and this was no exception. I can see why the narwhal is nicknamed “the unicorn of the sea”. All of nature holds a fascination for us if we would only stop long enough to appreciate it❤️

Comment: Thank you for a super wonderful, packed envelope of orange. I appreciated the letter as well. I like learning about my fellow swappers. I really liked your sewn inner envelope too. I might have to borrow this idea for future swaps.

Comment: Jill, thank you for your see-through butterfly ATC. Very interesting! Also thank you for the pack of goodies, esp the handmade mini notecard and butterfly die-cuts. It is thoughtful of you to include so many butterfly goodies. I almost missed your letter - I thought you sent me a background text page for making collage. Fortunately I opened it to check and saw that it was addressed to me. Haaa! About the homes, actually here in the Bay Area, basically all single-family homes cost (well) over $1M. California is very expensive. Happy spring!

Comment: What a fabulous swap! Thank you so much!! I'm going to write you back and answer the questions in your letter, so I'll just say here that I love your zines. In college one of my part-time jobs was with the campus landscaping crew and the head landscaper taught us about all the edible things on campus. We used to joke that we were "grazing" when we'd go around nibbling on the daylillies, mulberries, and serviceberries.

Comment: Wow what a great swap!! I love the paper you used. I will have to check out the size of my old atlas pages. I predicted from your letter that you had retired from an elementary school. I come from a family of teachers. Thanks for an impressive selection of extras!

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.
captkristi on Jan 12, 2021:

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. Have a good week! Kristi
