About Me

My favorite color is GREEN!

As of April 2015, I am a czt and totally addicted to tangling. I also hold classes in zentangle.

I love things from nature like trees, leaves, butterflies, flowers and birds. Even fairies and goddesses make me smile. I love to make art! And I love to receive something handmade from you. I love to make art dolls and altered books, which include tip-ins and chunky pages.

Sometimes for fun and more creativity I make a few ATCs, decos, altered tins... I love to try new art projects... And I knit when I want to relax. Sometimes I sew, quilt and crochet, too.

Favorite Books

I love to read! I like cozy mysteries, darker mysteries, non-fiction, and sometimes even a young adult book or two.

What I like to Receive

I love to receive handmade items! Some of the things I just love that I've received from swaps here on swap-bot so far include... a beautiful quiltie, dotee dolls, a handmade quilt, knitted prayer shawl, knitted washcloth with handmade soap, knitted dish rags, painted spoon ornament, tip-ins, altered book, sewn pin cushion, mini-fairy doll, a wonderful painting of Happiness... so many wonderful swappers here! Even a handmade deco page or ATC would be appreciated. I find so much inspiration in seeing what someone else has made.

Did I mention that my favorite color is GREEN...

What I don't want: please no strong smells, like perfume, bath stuff or incense. I'm vegan, so nothing about farm animals or meat.

Comment: Love that you used the front of your house as the subject for your 10 in 20 challenge. I love the mates. I would have either a "We're probably pretending not to be home" mat. I LOL'd at the kids car by the adult car.

Comment: Holy moly! That bridge is amazing - kind of creepy, but very cool. Thanks for sharing these, and you can never send too many favorites each month!
Response: I know. I got the same vibe, thinking they should use it as a set in some action, scary thriller. Thanks for the rating and heart!

Comment: Hi Laurina! Always wonderful to have you as my partner and I really enjoyed your letter! You did put a smile on my face! I am so happy your time with the kindergartners went well! When we had a sub teacher, I remember lots of movies! LOL! Yes, letting go of fears sounds like something we should do but yet, it can be so difficult! I love your quotes and you go girl with Daffy Duck's help! All the best! Hugs, Happy Thanksgiving, and Swapping! ;)
Response: Thanks for the rating! I read my Daffy Duck quote everyday and many times per day. I hope it helps get me through what is to come in December.

Comment: Fabulous pictures -- they absolutely evoke autumn! I can feel the cold bite in the air and smell the wood smoke as I look at them. I love the yellow and orange leaf pictures -- such vivid colours. And that is an absolutely fascinating seed pod -- I've never seen anything like it! Do you know what plant it's from? And the flowers and pumpkin work so well together as a composition. Well done!
Response: Thanks for the rating! I found piles of those seed pods next to a tree so I assume they're from that tree. But I don't know what kind it is. I'd like to know, too.
