Favorite Music

Folk/eclectic--from Joni Mitchell's early stuff to Lucy Kaplansky to Martyn Joseph to Eliza Gilkyson.

I also like Brazilian bossa nova/samba music and some of the older mellow jazz for background music.

Favorite Crafts

paper crafts -- needlepoint & embroidery -- knitting

I make and sell books and greeting cards

I do collage, mostly as art-as-therapy for myself, but will also do it on a smaller scale for swaps.

Comment: Great tag! She kind of reminds me of my mother when she was young(with out the crown of course!)-Like all the bling with the pencil markings! Thanks also for the great Halloween tags-I will certainly use those. I've already used the wax seal and sticker that was part of your packaging in my junk journal. Thanks for sharing!
Response: Thank you, Georgene, I'm so glad you liked the tag! I haven't done anything like that before, so am glad it came out as something you like...I appreciate you good rating and the heart--Thanks!

Comment: Frogs! I LOVE frogs! My favorites are the tiny spring peepers ;+) This is such a fun design with the frog paper and images--I'm crazy for the one on the 'back' of the wallet with the celebrating frogs jumping around; is that a rubber stamp? Loved the enclosures as well, especially the embossed papers with the birds on them. What a wonderful swap--thank you!
Response: Kristy, thank you for your great rating and heart....the pocket wallet was fun to make! The dancing frog image is an old Magenta stamp, my mom used to use it on Valentines...Thank you for hosting this swap!

Comment: Kathy- This is absolutely beautiful!! I love that you added beading to the circles. The colors are pleasing and it's just so pretty. Thank you! You are very talented!
Response: Thank you, Valerie! I had a lot of fun stitching this, and just played with different ideas...I feel less "comfortable" with free style stitching, so am grateful that you like it...thank you for the 5 and heart!

Comment: Kathy, I love the card you made for me! Once again, I liked how yours turned out much better than mine though I used the glaze she had in the tutorial rather than the floor wax. I found the technique a bit messy as well, but would definitely try again. I also tried one sample using Mod Podge, but the glaze worked better. Thanks for the happy mail! 😃
Response: Hey, Michele, thanks...this was a tricky new technique, and I didn't love it, but it's worth trying...thank you for your kind words and good rating...

Comment: OMG! Tooooo cute! Such beautiful work. I wish I could turn them into earrings, but they are too long - gives me an idea for the small paper clips (lol)...always thinking.... Anyway, I love the pretty paper clips you made for me. Thank you so much! ❤️
Response: Jan, what a great idea to make these into earrings with the smaller paperclips...easy to do, and you can make them to go with absolutely any outfit, given all the colors of scrapbook paper...glad you liked the ones I sent, and thank you so much for the heart and the great rating!

Comment: Oh Kathy, I love my "medicated Twinkie" and the story that went with it. I'm going to keep it in the drawer with my pills. It will increase my happiness level for sure! I also love the sparkly lime green bag. Your swap cards are so cool, they are like a gift by themselves. I really appreciate the green heart on the envie, too. Thanks so much for everything!
Response: Hi Jo, so glad you liked the Twinkie! LOL! Thank you so much for the heart and the five, I'm always happy when I get to swap with you!

I can't wait to use them and the other extras you sent too! Wish I could give you more hearts! 😍

Comment: Thank you SO MUCH for the beautifully embossed greeting card, Kathy! It's so rich and elegant; I'll be sending it to someone really special if I can let go of it. I appreciate the extra embellishment coins as well, something I don't have, which is hard to do because I have so much stuff...hahaa! I wish I could give you two hearts.
Response: Dorothy, I'm very happy you liked the card...it was fun to make, and fun to try an old technique again... Glad you like the little coins, too! Thank you for the great rating and heart!

Comment: Thank you for hosting such a fun swap - I love learning new techniques! The card you made for me was so cute! Her fairy wings did great through the mail! Your background turned out a lot better than mine did. I used a baggie and my backgrounds have more of a marbled look and yours are more sphere-like. Did you use a baggie for the technique or something else? Anyway, thank you for my happy mail! 😃
Response: Michele, thank you for your comments, and for the great rating! I'm enjoying the group swaps a lot!

Thanks again for the felt flowers and buttons. They came at a good time. I used some of them on my own N&T ATC coin swap.

Jippiefant on Jun 5, 2019:

Your sticker RAK came in my mailbox today! The stickers are perfect for in my bullet journal and I love the little journal pockets you made, they are so cute! The tip on finding stencils is also really helpfull, I am definitely going to have a look at Ali Express. Thank you so much!

I am so happy you are enjoying the bookmark I made for you 4 years ago. Your message made my day. :-)

The stamps came in today and I am so excited to try them out! And you included an ink pad, which means I get to use them faster! Thanks so much for holding the RAK ♡

Oh Kathy you are so thoughtful! You didn't have to send the postage. I do love the article on Julie Nutting, so excited you sent this to me! I knew this existed but never got to see it until now. THANK YOU! Peace Bonnie
