I am so excited about finding this site. I love crafting and recently became obsessed with ATCs. I love creating monster plushies and sock animals from socks that have lost their mate.

I live is sunny SW Florida with my husband, two cats, my old mutt dog and to parrots.I love going through the everglades and seeing all the wildlife we are so fortunate to have nearby. Where I live we have dozens of burrowing owls so they have a special place in my heart. I love crafts that have to do with owls

I love to crochet and give homemade gifts. My husband is my biggest fan when it comes to crafting and constantly encourages me to explore my artistic side.

I love reading and recently my book club read the Twighlight series. ( I know, we were behind the curve). The True Blood book series is also a current favorite. Dean Koontz is another favorite author, I like to be scared.

The only thing I would dread receiving is anything to do with clowns. I love animals, day of the dead skulls, zombie anything, dotees, old photos and old postcards. I love seeing things others create. We all have an artist waiting to get out.

When I travel I have an odd habit off bringing home rocks from the places I visit. So I would enjoy receiving small rocks for different places. I will also pickup leaves of pine cones, anything that reminds me of where I visited.

I love movies from the 1930's and especially anything with Barbara Stanwyck and Joan Crawford. Loved the movie 300 and my husband and I love the series Spartacus.

I look forward to all my future swaps and promise I will always deliver. If something does not show up, message me and I will make good asap.

Happy Swapping

Sammitysam for Animal skull ATC swap. Never received.

Butterfly update...... The monarchs have slowed down but we have lots of frittilary butterflies hatching. They are beutiful and quick. We open the door to the butterfly house and they fly in, lay their eggs and fly out again. We keep the caterpillars fat and happy and when they emerge as gorgeous butterflies we release them. Yay.

Wow, we have had about 50 successful releases of butterflies so far. I can't believe how well it is going.

Five beautiful Monarchs emerged this morning. They sunbathed until their beautiful wings were dry. We gave them some nectar and a nice over ripe banana(they love that) and this afternoon released them. I feel all warm and fuzzy.

Our first Monarch butterfly emerged this morning and she is a beauty! We have 12 more chrsylis ready to open this week. We are so happy. We raised them from eggs. We will let them go after a day or so. Long enough for their wings to dry.

I am so freaking happy. I decided to start raising butterflies. I bought the plants to attract the butterlies. Checked everyday until I saw eggs. Next the caterpillars hatched and we moved them onto our screened lanai and now they are coccooning! Soon we will be releasing our monarch butterflies to start the whole cycle again. Wow
