Hello from North Central Florida, USA, where the winter temperatures can reach the 20s.

My hobbies include reading, scrapbooking memories, and paper crafting, including making junk journals.

I read murder mysteries like Agatha Christie, contemporary mysteries like Janet Evanovich, and classical Victorian literature. I follow Booktubers and recently discovered romantasy books.

I'm not a fan of non-fiction, but have enjoyed reading about Simon Bolivar and Frida Kahlo. I love all things Frida, like her quotes and her portraits.

As part of scrapbooking and junk journaling, I collect stickers, washi tapes, and cute images. Owls, mushrooms, forest animals, butterflies are some of my favorite themes. I also love steampunk and Gothic images. I've made junk journals from scratch: chipboard covers decorated with fabric, with coffee-dyed pages, and hand-stitched signatures.

I like to use my crafting skills to make special gifts. My sister has been the recipient of many of my projects, including a home made Downton Abbey bed runner quilt!

My comfort TV shows are NCIS and all the Harry Potter movies. They are my background noise when I'm working on a hobby. I'm anxiously waiting for the final season of Stranger Things.

I appreciate different types of music, but am partial to Latin pop, bachata, Spanish rock (Mana), and old-school rock (Journey, Meat Loaf, Foreigner).

My goal in participating of swaps is to engage in snail mail, with an opportunity to brighten someones day with thoughtful mail.

Please note that I don't care for anything raunchy, witchcraft, bawdy, aliens, living dead nor gruesome.
