It's been awhile since I have done any swapping & I am ready to get back into it!! :)

I love being on or near the water and I feel very fortunate that I have lived within 5-10 min. of the beach for most of my life. I love spending time walking there all year round! My husband & I love to travel as often as possible and hope to take a trip to Italy in the next couple of years, until then we will enjoy our trips within the states! (so many places to see!!!)

Rubberstamping is my passion, but I dabble in a little bit of everything...cardmaking, papercrafts, decouppage, I love making ornaments, magnets, pins, button fairies, etc. I am still very new at making atc's and art dolls, but I'm having a lot of fun with it. I just made my first dotee doll to send out in a swap, I can see where they can be quite addictive to make.... they just come to life as you are making them!! I'm sure that it was my first of many more to come! (I need to brush up a little on my sewing skills!!)
