About Me

I am a 56 year old divorced lady. I currently care for my elderly mom who is not all that well, so there are days when it's hard for me to leave the house. I will always do my utmost to get my swaps sent at the post office no later than the last day of the swap. And I pick up my mail once a week at the post office. I am totally addicted to this new hobby, and it certainly brings a bright spot into my life to receive this fun mail :)

If there are any issues with you receiving any swaps, please PM me, and I'll re-send, if necessary.

Penpalling and swapping, photography, hiking, cooking, gardening. Please feel free to add me as a friend on facebook and twitter. I love meeting new friends from all over the world. I collect postcards, bookmarks, stickers, FB's. I am always looking for new penpals.

I work at home as a court transcriber and also an Avon rep., so that allows me a lot of flexibility. I can't imagine working for anybody but myself :)

To be honest, I don't have any dislikes that I can think of. I'm a very open minded person and love to try and experience new things. Just no horror movies or books :)

Wishlist

Penpals

Postcards -- I love all kinds from all over the world. I'm an avid lover of Postcrossing.com too :) I especially like scenes of your local area, or really just anything you want to send. Not picky at all. Please write a little note about yourself...I love making new friends :)

Stickers -- no "rewards" stickers

FB's

ATC's -- I've never seen one so I'd love to see how they're made.

Decos -- the same: I'd love to see how they're made as well.

Bookmarks

Garden Seeds, fruit, veggies, flowers, herbs

Coffees, teas and cocoas

Any kind of paper, stationery, notepads, notecards

Recipes

Maybe even exchanging paperback books.

Anything dealing with the ocean. I love anything with dogs, horses, flowers, nature.

Gel Pens

Journals -- both lined and blank. I love to write and I'd love to create garden journals and dream journals for business planning, etc.

Anything Native American. My boyfriend is Comanche :) So wolves or anything related to that genre.

Favorite Books

I enjoy reading:

Christian devotional books

Books about the Amish

Business and Network Marketing

Historical fiction

Romance novels

I don't like horror or Steven King type books. But I do like murder mysteries, the who-done-it type.

Cookbooks are a big hit with me too.

Favorite Movies

Comedies and romantic comedies are two of my favorite types. I don't like horror at all. I love to laugh and I'm a hopeless romantic!

Favorite Television

Anything on Food Network, especially the cake decorating and competition shows. Cake Boss, Little Choclatiers. Ethnic cooking

Forensic shows. Forensic Files, etc. I am a court transcriber, and I love anything dealing with criminal law. Fascinating to me how they solve cases.

Fox News Channel and Fox Business.

Amazing Race. I love to travel, just no money right now, but that's why I collect postcards! I love seeing all the scenery and cultures.

Undercover Boss, Shark Tank, The Apprentice (when I remember to turn it on lol)

Favorite Crafts

At this time in my life, I don't have much time for crafts since I run two home businesses. But making FB's and ATC's and Deco's look like it's a lot of fun and it's something I could take a break from work and dabble in.

So if anybody wants to send me one of each of those, I'd be forever in your debt, just to see what they look like :)

Scrapbooking looks like a lot of fun, but I haven't had much time to delve into that. I like to spend my time writing penpals.

When I used to live in my own home, I grew lots of flowers and roses that I would dry. I'd like to get back into that and make cards, gifts and bookmarks with them.

Hello! SO glad you joined the Newbie Pen Pal swap - hopefully it'll be a lot of fun, and a great way to meet new people. When you get the time I suggest making a wish list or a likes/do not likes list. It'll help your partners out with future swaps! ~Rebekah
