Hello Everyone. very excited to start swapping, and I don't want to disappoint anyone. Have never done this before,

I have recently (almost 2 years now) stopped working, what I call a real job. I used to commute every day for about four years. I loved that job tremendously. I miss the camaraderie of a group and working together.
The commute was too much and the hours were long, but it was well worth the time I spent there.

I now work out of my house, mostly, and have the time to swap. I hope to meet a lot of great people and share ideas, letters, art, etc.

I just started junk and travel journaling. I love it, and that is another hobby I am trying to improve on.

My hobbies are traveling as much as I can and hiking. I love the outdoors and birding. It's where I am the happiest. I love to visit museums and gardens everywhere I go. I love photography, mostly nature and architecture. My pictures aren't as good as I would like them to be, but I continue to try and improve.

LIKES: I like anything in nature themed, birds, National parks, hiking and travel, photography, flowers, butterflies, fish, clocks, stamps from anywhere. Poetry, stickers, and washi, I love washi tape.

different types of papers to journal, vintage, embossed, scraps, etc.

stationery sheets and envelopes, seals

ribbon, twine, fabric

die cuts

Anything handmade

I like Nick Bantok's style of anything

I love teas of every kind as well as coffee

Please feel free to send anything NOT on this list. I am open to new things and should probably mix up my collections a bit. I will not give a bad rating, I would love to see what other people collect. I really would like to participate a lot in these swaps, so I am open to anything new.
