I am a divorced mother of 2 beautiful children, daughter 19 and son 17. We love spending time together doing anything outdoors. I enjoy traveling, which has led to my favorite hobby- postcard collecting.

I have recently developed a love of journaling. I am a notebook/journal junkie!!! I have been for years. I own boxes upon boxes filled with the most beautiful, unique, weird, artsy, antique, and just plain gorgeous journals ever. I would never write in them for fear of messing them up. Since beginning my art journal journey I now have a passion for "messing up" the pages with embellishments, paint, paper, found objects, and of course lots of writing!! I have several writing journals going along with art/junque journals and my Smashbooks. Oh, I'm having a BLAST!!!

I am a huge fan of Neo-Soul music. I listen to lots of Jazz, classical, socca/reggae and country rock. I can enjoy really any kind of music except for heavy metal. I just can't get pass the screeching, piercing sounds of the guitar.

I LOVE to read, however I haven't had the time lately to do as much as I'd like. I have come to love the work of Jane Austen!!! I have been reading a lot of self improvement, personal growth type of books lately.

Any recommendations?

Belle, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Help, Dances with Wolves, Color Purple, Sense & Sensibility, Good Will Hunting, The Time Travelers Wife, Tristan and Isolde, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Notebook, The Shawshank Redemption, and Sarah's Key.

I don't have any food allergies.I love spicy foods! Indian cuisine is fabulous! I enjoy Chinese, Italian, Caribbean, Greek, Thai and seafood dishes.I would love to get recipes of traditional foods from your country to try.

*Chocolate

*Green (rich grass green)

*Pewter

*Rose Gold

*Salmon

I would love to have a mixed media/art journal page that you have created to add to my journal. Any theme of your choice.

I don't have a die cut machine and I would love any extra images you may have, or willing to cut for me. Any topic/subject!

Postcards (see section below)

Vintage ephemera

Magnets

Butterflies, dragonflies, and owls

images of birds and bird cages

Images of the Fluer de Lis

Flowers- sunflowers, tulips, orchids, lilies

embellishments for ATCs and art journaling- used postage stamps, stamped images, used rubber/clear stamps, fibers, ribbons, grunge/chip board, anything to add bling, used items okay.

I have been collecting postcards for many years now. I am active on Postcrossing.com. My favorites (right now) are Kaj Stenvall, Moomin, people in native costumes, historical buildings/places, UNESCO WHS, city views with the name on the front, and maps. I also collect bridges, courthouses, Universities/colleges, sports arenas/stadiums, lighthouses, windmills, and tourist attractions.

I DO have all 50 USA state maps.

I am looking for single image pc's with USA state bird or flower for the following states: Delaware, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Maine, Arkansas, Florida, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon, Nevada, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah.

I am looking for single image pc's of USA state flags for the following states: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Florida, Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Oregon, West Virginia, Nevada, North Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Hawaii.

I've started a new collection of Chinatown cards from various cities around the world. So if you have a Chinatown in your area get a pc and let's swap!

I don't have a preference to pc's being sent stamped and written or mailed in an envelope.
