Hello! I haven't been on here in 4 years ~ life changed ~ but things are settling down & would like to get back into swapping and re-connecting with some old friends & make some new ones!

I am newly married….again have 2 boys in their early twenties a lab puppy & 2 pugs who consume a lot of my time, in my spare time love to play in my art journal, create mosaics & mixed media pieces, etc.

I love music, it has the power to change your mood instantly! I am a die hard rock fan from the 70s to present.

I love crafting, it's been a "happy" place for me for a long time.

I love~

• Decorative Painting
• Mosaic
• stained glass
• recycled art

Have learned how to make dotees, chunky pages, atc's, paper dolls, stuffies etc. from this site!

Am inspired by other members talents!

My absolute favorite things to receive are items that you make! The best swaps I have received thus far are things that you talented women have made that are themed to my LOVES! I will treasure those and the ones I am lucky enough to receive in the future forever. They are all displayed in my craft room!
