I am married to a wonderful man who encourages me to spend time and money on my crafts. I am mom to three grown daughters,who also share my love for crafting. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and share my time between a home in the city, and a cabin in the woods. I have been away from swap-bot for a couple of years as I spent every day I could with my ailing mother, who recently passed away.

I am a crazy quilter at heart, but also do a lot of beading, and recently took an interest in art dolls. I have a large collection of vintage lace, fabric, threads, beads, and buttons and I would love to swap with others who share my interests. I also enjoy playing with art journals, and have started collecting vintage paper ephemera.

I love all colors, and especially enjoy things with a vintage look or Shabby Chic appearance. I collect blue and white dishes, frozen charlottes, and penny dolls, small toby mugs, and glass shoes. And CHOCOLATE.I love the victorian theme, or vintage look, therefor I prefer to avoid "cutesy " items (country animals, bunnies, etc)
