Hello and Greetings to everyone. I joined many years ago and had taken a break, but now back. Alot has changed. My two girls are now grown and have left the nest. I am really OK with this. We talk every day and they are close. I have 1 grandchild, Isla and she is 3. She is my light and I am lucky to be able to watch her often. I am in my 50's and married almost 24 years. I am a Senior Tax Advisor part of the year and work at a Spice and Tea Store the other part. We live in a small town in The Foothills of the Smokey Mountains, North Carolina. We have a small piece of property that I enjoy to garden

I do not craft much anymore other than crocheting. The last few years I have done temperature blankets. I used to scrap book and have all the supplies in boxes somewhere. I hope to get back to it someday. But for now I would appreciate if any partners would refrain from sending stickers and little bits of paper, I have to much already. My favorite things right now is postcards, stationary, writing letters, and sending mail in general.

Things that make me smile: the color yellow, paperweights, funny knick knacks, books (all kinds), jars (all sizes and shapes), the small items that fit in those jars (buttons, game pieces, beads, etc.), patches (the sew on kind), candles, jewelry ( the bolder the better), art supplies (although not sure am very good at using them), nesting dolls, tutles, yard decorations, metal signs, Betty Boop, Kermit the frog (after all its not easy being green). This was just a few that I can think of by just standing around the house. I also really like pictures, all kinds: old, new, painted, printed, crafted, on and on...... After thoughts, I also like wrist watches of all kinds and anything Disney. One can never go wrong with a cool coffe cup either. Adding tins now..just realized I have a huge collection and have them everywhere.

I consider myself very easy to please. I love getting mail and love it someone just takes the time and effort to think of me. "Warm Fuzzies". I hope this helps some of my partners in the future.

Any and all. Feel free to send what nobody else wants. Ad, homemade, weird, ugly. I don't mind them naked and stamped or in an envelope. Take the opportunity to send whatever and however you want. If you decide in an envelope and wish to write an introduction, I am always game to a penpal.

Lately, my husband and I have been cooking together and in to trying new recipes. So, if you have one to share, we will add to our list.
