About Me

**FYI five-cent increase for Forever stamps, July 13, from 73 cents to 78 cents. **

This is Rita, my new Jack Russell, can you believe someone abandoned that face?

Don’t know what’s going on with postal system- last year I had more than a few I had to resend. This year, I had a card returned for .46 in state, & not overweight or too thick. Today I received a card again, not overweight or thick. Another.46 to receive it. I’ve also sent an international postcard 3x & still hasn’t received :(

I really like receiving postcards without plastic wrapping. I like the stamps & marks on the card, otherwise it seems more like a journal page without the stamps

Rethink Waste: Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle. Reuse packing materials & pass on things I can’t use.

My name is Sandra, married 32 years, and live in Ohio.

Married my husband after dating 8 weeks. He has 5 children & I have 2. We have 18 grandchildren & 14 great children.

Retired after working since I was 16. I’ve done factory, retail, customer service & last was medical billing.

Love taking photos. And over the years many craft things, such as sewing, ceramics, and now paper crafting.

Comment: All the layers and pokey-outy bits are wonderful, my friend...I love it! Honestly though, the main character's expression is the same one that I used to use when posing for family photos between the ages of 12-15 (those were tough years for my parents). My mom used to say "straighten out your face!" and I knew I had to, at that point. Your sewing reminds me that I have to remove the piles of stuff from my sewing machine so I can stitch too!
Response: A little sewing goes a long way in paper crafting doesn’t it? Hope you’re starting to feel better soon- thank you for the rating & heart

Comment: Sandra...such a lovely ATC, with something new to see every time I look at it! I love the copper strip at the top, the heart-shaped cutout in the center, and the texture everywhere! Also, it must be said that you always send a real letter, which is amazing. I love that part best!
Response: You always give the best reviews- even when you don’t feel good. Thank you so much for the heart & rating

Comment: HI Sandra and thanks so much for this cute black cat journal page. I love that you created and stitched a pocket to the front of the page and the little black cat die cut is adorable. What a perfect sentiment as well! And thanks for the little goodies in the pocket. Fun swap!
Response: Laurie, this is my problem I see potential in most things.. the pocket is a bag they put the silverware in at some restaurants! Perfect size for a 4x6 page. Thank you for hearts &rating

Comment: Beautifully done, my friend! My favorite part is the TH papergirl sitting on the corrugated "log". And the touches of dripping gold...j'adore! I've always loved touches of gold, but a certain person in the White House is kind of spoiling that for me, as his dreadful maggots have spoiled the American flag for me. And now the price of just living...just getting by...is so horrendous that if I allowed myself to go there, would work negatively on my attitude. But never mind. I won't let him ruin this site for me. Not yet, at least!
Response: You know I agree with that certain person spoiling the White House- but glad your card! You’re the best!

Comment: I love this ATC! The beautiful butterfly...ooh! And the little phrases...collect beautiful moments...isn't that what we need more of? Not only to live the beautiful moments, but to collect and remember them. I'm trying; I really am. I'm so happy that your spinal stimulator seems to be working well! So far my steroid epidural injection seems to be keeping me in. an almost-normal physical state, and if I reach a point where they are no longer effective, I WILL have the surgery...I don't want to ever go back to what was my "normal". I just got used to it, I guess, and as it progressed and my world got smaller and smaller, I just dealt with it. This injection experience reminds me of what life should be like! You keep on walking with little Rita...she is good for you! And I'll keep bottle feeding little tiny kittens, because that's good for me!
Response: You always do the best work & gave the best rating! Glad your shot was helping

HAPPY AUTUMN EQUINOX!

Your puzzle piece ATC for the Mystery Supply swap came out great, Sandra. I like the dark and mysterious vibe it's sending. Thanks and I'll post pix soon. Cheers!

Hi Sandra. I just received the USATC Mystery Supply ATC #3. You did a great job of using the chain. So fun! I'll post photos in the group forum once I receive the others. Cheers!

Hi Sandra- I LOVE 💜 your Mystery Supply ATC #2 card. It's so well done, using so many mediums. The pumpkin mirror image is so unique. Thanks also for the Telugu book page. What a gorgeous text...I don't think I can give that one away on an ATC. Will post all pix to group forum once received.
