About Me

I am a Southern girl, having lived in Louisiana all my life. I've been married for 28 years to my best friend. We are proud parents of a 24 year old daughter, a 21 year old son, and a 3 year old Boston terrier. I am a Christian. :)

I was a stay at home mom till about 10 years ago and since then have worked as a special education teacher's assistant. I love my job, especially when I'm off during the summer!

Favorite Crafts

I love paper of any kind. I scrapbooked for years, then started making cards. Most of them are of the paper and rubber stamp kind, but am getting into designing digital ones as well. My latest FAVORITE craft is making and collecting ATCs. I love these little works of art. I sew a little now and then, mostly purses or window treatments. I enjoy repurposing items, especially vintage ones. I love shopping at flea markets and garage sales, searching for "treasures" to do something crafty with.

Favorite Music

I enjoy listening to contempory Christian music and country music.

Favorite Books

The Holy Bible,The Secret Life of Bees, Cold Sassy Tree, To Kill a Mockingbird, the Mitford Series books by Jan Karon

Favorite Movies

Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, The Secret Life of Bees, Driving Miss Daisy, Secondhand Lions, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, My Big Fat Greek Wedding (My dog, Toula, is named after the main character.)

Favorite Television

American Pickers, Food Network's The Next Food Network Star, The Closer, The Office, Big Bang Theory

Comment: This was a fantastic swap - I love the card you sent me and the ATC is so cute (both my husband and son said "awwwww" when I showed them). And then you for the bubble stickers too! And thanks for the Etsy favorite - I can't wait to try out the pattern. I'm honored to have mentored you and I hope you have many, many enjoyable swapping experiences on Swap-Bot! P.S. Once you have 20 Type 3 swaps be sure to join the "Paper Cutz" group - we have a lot of fun and great swaps! Thanks again for swapping with me!
