About Me

I currently work 4 days a week as a substitute teacher in the public high schools.

I am the mother of 3 girls and a boy ages 15, 17, 18 and 20. And a Golden Retriever and an Australian Cattle /Lab Retriever. I am half Mexican and love learning about the Mexican side of my heritage. I love traveling to Mexico to meet and visit family. I am still learning Spanish.

WHAT I COLLECT

I love touristy postcards and vintage pre 1990's postcards. I am NOT interested in random postcards of quotes or animals.... unless the swap calls for it.

I collect Calico Critters especially the furniture and the adult characters. I am making a little outdoor looking village that will be displayed in my art room and I need more characters and furniture.

I collect miniatures to put in my modern dollhouses. I collect Barbie size all the way down to 1/12, 1/16 and 1/24 sizes.

I LOVE postcards of cityscapes, landscapes, art and architecture. I especially love PCs from Mexico, Europe and outside the USA.

Favorite Movies

My favorite Movies- Pride and Prejudice (BBC version and the Kiera Knightly version) as well as Nacho Libre (Jack Black), Emma (Masterpiece Theatre version with Jonney Lee Miller) and the Harry Potter films.

My favorite TV shows: Schitts Creek, K Dramas, Modern Family. Sister Wives. Black Mirror. Miniseries filmed in the U.K. and throughout Europe and those Scandinavian Noir tv series, plus Black Mirror on Netflix. PBS Masterpiece Theater specials. I also watch a lot of shows with subtitles.😍😍😍

MY LIKES

I am obsessed with Travelers Notebooks!!! I love my planners B6 size.

I love to read Thrillers, self help and autobiographies and short stories. I receive a book each month from Book of the Month club and have read so many wonderful ones that I never would have picked up.

I discovered the Enneagram in 2013 and have studied it ever since. I quickly realized that I am a SEVEN with a 6 wing.

I just have to declare my love for alpacas!!! We stumbled across an alpaca farm in rural Oregon one night and spent a day there just watching those beautiful creatures. Now they are my favorite animals on the whole planet.

MY WISHLIST

CITY STREET POSTCARDS-especially small town downtown America or British villages

VINTAGE PC'S

JANE AUSTEN ANYTHING

ANYTHING ENGLISH (as in England)

POSTCARDS FROM OUTSIDE THE USA

ANYTHING DIA DE LOS MUERTOS OR FRIDA KAHLO

Things with gnomes

Dollhouse miniatures

I love anything and all things Mexican. The food, the decor, the colors, the music!!!!

Don't send me:

I belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter DaySaints (Mormon) so I do not drink Coffee. (I do t drink tea BUT I use them to age paper for junk journaling AND to use in pocket letters so I would enjoy getting those.

I don't need any more bits of colored cardstock or patterned paper. I find that this doesn't get used.

Loose tiny stickers that are not on a sheet. I will loose them immediately and that is sad.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW....

If you do not receive a swap from me... PLEASE send me a private message and let me know it was not received. I will resend after waiting an appropriate amount of time to ensure the mail is not just taking the long route to you. I ask that you give me a chance to get your package to you before rating a 1 or 3. I never give out 1's or 3's when the swapper truly makes an effort to fix a problem. Anyway... so far things have run super smoothly (and hopefully they continue to do so).

Comment: So sorry for taking so long to post this, but thank you for sending your Round 10 journal. I especially loved the adorable-yet-bewildering large creature! I want one as a pet now. LOL.
Response: Thank so much. Yes... I wonder what that creature is. It is cute and ugly too.

Comment: (Sorry for the late rate! I thought I had done it already) Oh my goodness!!! This was truly one of the most special swaps I've ever received <3 I never got to do the whole Tooth Fairy thing growing up, so this was such a sweet surprise. It was so well decorated! Thank you! :-)
Response: Oh I am so glad you got it and that you liked it. I was nervous that maybe you would think it was strange. I am very much into miniatures and so this was something that I wanted to create. I am glad you appreciated it. I need to make one for myself now. We got the tooth fairy as kids but only a quarter was ever left behind. I hope they host another of these swaps so that I can make other things in the future.

Comment: I enjoyed your pocket letter so much! We have so many things in common! You seem like a very nice person. Glad to have met you!
Response: Yes, I noticed that we do have a lot in common! I really enjoyed learning about my partner. I did enjoy making that page for you. I would host it again if there was a guarantee that I we could all get new partners. But with swap-bot you can't do that. Bummer.

Comment: Thank you for sharing your page, it's nice to see a happy family. "Family traditions reveal what you value enough to repeat and if done with love build warm happy associations" I really love this sentiment!! Yes, I can imagine it is difficult to manage these swaps as they're so involved. I appreciate the ones I've participated in this year and have a nice fat folder full of my pages to look back on.
Response: Thanks for the kind words. My family is my everything. For sure! thanks so much for joining us so many rounds. I will miss this group of ladies. I just have hosted for years now and needed to 'regroup'.

Comment: WOW - I loved your envelope itself, and then everything in it was just amazing. I adore math so math flashcards are always a hit for me, and the antique postcard was beautiful, and food labels make me smile, and everything was just... wow. You are so generous and this was so fun! (And thank you for hosting, of course, too!)
Response: Oh yay! I am so glad that you liked what I chose to send you. I need to order some more ephemera because I am running low. I have like one of many things but I like to have duplicates so that I can hold on to one myself.
