DelightedGigi

Hello, hello and hello… Isn’t this exciting!! My name is Kerin but my family calls me Gigi, as being a grandmother is my crown of happiness, a culmination of all the beauty, memories and journeys of my AMAZING family ♥️♥️♥️

I am recently retired from driving a school bus (special needs) 🚌💨💨 after 25 years … yikes … that ages me but doesn’t change how young at heart I am‼️ I miss my kiddos tremendously though and I am sure they contributed to my being so young at heart and reminding me daily of what really matters in life

Retirement took some getting used to, however, it has remarkably simplified this season of my life. Family, friends and crafting have become my beloved “Passion Projects”…..

I am blessed with an amazing family. I live with my husband (Bart) of 36 years and our Bernese Mountain dog (Aja). We have 2 living children - Ashley and Chelsea - a son (Joshua) who at 25 became our family guardian angel - 2 grandchildren, Joshua Jr and Sullivan…. AND … my great grandson (Jay) - our gift that helps us continue to celebrate our beloved Joshua who we miss every day……. Life is crazy and we choose to walk it with our faith and thrive through our family approach of celebrating positivity. After all “life is not fair” it is how we approach it that defines us……..

Spending time with family and friends is my why. I love walks, am very water oriented - so I also love swimming (not unusual to find me at the YMCA in the mornings acting like a fish). I Tremendously enjoy watermelon and ice cream cones dipped in chocolate… (although not at the same time 😜) ……yummy. My husband and I are currently working on visiting all the lighthouses here in Washington state…. And WOWZA, let me tell you they are not all easy to get too‼️‼️

I have always been crafty, I enjoy knitting and crochet, sewing, bullet journaling, paper crafts and have become a certified Zentangle teacher. My style leans more traditional - however- retirement has brought out the humorous and zany sides of me too.

Crafting I enjoy:

• Zentangle
• ATC’s
• postcards - artistic, black/white, pin up, humorous
• Playing cards - J♥️/Jokers (honoring Joshua)
• ZINES
• Bullet Journaling
• Pen Pals

Love to read….. belong to a fabulous book club named “Between the Covers” and I am always looking forward to our monthly meeting.

My reading is eclectic:

• true crime
• mystery
• Historical Romance
• memoirs
• self help

…… I love our swaps, PLEASE always feel free to stay in touch with me regarding anything. After all there is something wonderful about waiting and receiving happy mail…. Right 🤪‼️

I would like to say at this time also that sending extras, while always exciting (and Thank You), never changes my ratings. I never want anyone feeling pressured or not swap because they don’t always have them…… so let’s do this thing and SWAP on‼️
