First, Some Important Stuff:

For every swap I commit myself to, please be assured I will send on time; therefore, if you haven't received a swap from me, I ask that you let me know so I can resolve the problem.

Type 3 Swaps - I will ALWAYS have a delivery confirmation attached for both our benefit.

Ratings - I will rate my swap partner(s) in timely fashion. If for some reason, I have not rated you, please contact me ASAP so I can rectify this. As well, I expect to be rated in a timely fashion when you have received my swap. :))

Hi! I'm Marti. I'm a married mom of 2 grown sons!! I live in North Central Florida. I'm Puerto Rican / Italian and have 8 sisters and brothers. Yes, I am Catholic!! :)

I am a mixed media artist and enjoy crafting, journaling, cooking & baking, spending time with my family & friends, doodling & reality TV. I work full-time outside the home for a major insurance company as a CSR II.

I love rock and roll, classic rock and some new stuff. I like too many groups to list but mainly:

• Pearl Jam
• Journey
• Default
• Creed
• Rush
• 3 Doors Down
• Fuel
• Breaking Benjamin.... ....and so many others. I also enjoy going to concerts.

The movie that made the most impact on my spiritual being was, The Passion of the Christ.

One of the most inspirational movies I've ever watched was Eat Pray Love. What a wonderful movie!! Quotes galore!!!!

I love making my mixed media art! That has to be my passion. I also enjoy:

• Decoupage anything

• Papercrafts
• Whimsy Jars
• Art journaling

Things I like/collect:

• Postcards - indie, artsy, retro, handmade
• Inspirational messages/quotes
• Industrial charms/pieces
• Graffiti Art

I love sending & receiving postcards!! As stated above, the type of postcards I enjoy receiving mostly are: HAND-MADE!!!, indie type, artsy & retro although any will do.

Can't think of what to write on a PC? Send me your favorite quote!! I love quotes...

International PC Swaps: I would love to receive postcards that are written on in your own language. Very cool.

FOR ALL PCs, please please date your postcards!! Thanks soooo much!! :)

Final Word on Rating PCs: I realize it's kind of "hard" to do something special with postcards as in other swap types where you can add an extra goodie in the package. I have no problem rating my partners with a heart unless of course, I don't receive a heart from you. How "wrong" can it go sending a postcard to someone? This is suppose to be fun... and like everyone else, I enjoy swapping and I also enjoying receiving a heart. So if you don't rate me with a heart, please don't message me asking why I didn't rate you with a heart. :)
