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 16, 18, 19 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 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 don't need any more bits of colored cardstock or patterned paper. I find that this doesn't get used... unless it would work in the junk journals that I make.

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: Thank you for the nice postcard. I want to go to Venice someday. In Fall we are planning lots of activities. There is always something going on at my club house.
Response: You are welcome. I hope to see Venice before it is ruined by tourists. That is totally a contradiction. I know. I hope they can somehow control tourism in a way that does less damage to the city.

Comment: Thank you for the pretty postcard. I love this painting. Unfortunately I have broken bones before. Mostly my ankles.
Response: I am sorry about your broken bones. I have been fearful of getting some myself. I am a wimp with pain.

Comment: Thank you so much for the awesome Roswell pc! We visited Roswell just this past July. It was a hoot! I loved it. I now have two different Roswell pcs. I got a magnet there, but didn't get any pcs. :) To answer your question, yes, I am. :)
Response: Those postcards were my only souvenir from there during that summer road trip. We drove from Vegas to Tucsan, Carlsbad Caverns and came home by way of Roswell and Taos. I am happy to see another member on here. Not that it matters. But we have swapped a lot in the past so it is nice to see that connection.

Comment: Hi Maggie- Thanks for the lovely story about the painting that your mom made for you! It was delightful! Something to warm your heart forever. All the best to you.
Response: thanks so much for appreciating the story. I realize that I have told this to only a couple people. I don't have the painting hanging where people outside my family see it. So it is very personal for me. Thanks.
