I'm a country girl from upstate New York and Naples, FL. I currently live on a little homestead in a tiny town called Morganton, which is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia.

I love hiking, camping, and gardening... anything low-key and outdoors, really. I'm also an avid reader of science fiction/fantasy, poetry, and classic literature, and I spend a lot of time studying herbalism and natural health.

I was a dog groomer for 25 years and am a true animal lover with a menagerie of fur babies that include dogs, cats, a goat, and a bunch of chickens. I'm also a writer, blogger, content marketing strategist, and mom of two amazing kids ages 30 and 19.

Some of My Favorite Books: Lord of the Rings (love the movies, too!), Mists of Avalon, Harry Potter (love the movies, too!), Poetry by Robert Frost, Wuthering Heights

Favorite TV Shows: The Walking Dead, Vampire Diaries, Star Trek - All of them :), Blacklist, Game of Thrones, Last of Us

Favorite Movies: Star Wars - All of them :), Twilight

Hobbies: Gardening and homesteading, Herbalism and natural health, Papercrafting, Journaling and Junk Journaling, Sewing, History and Genealogy, Hiking, Kayaking, Camping, Stoicism and Philosophy

Favorite Colors: Green, Pink, Purple, and Blue

I love all things stationary, but definately gravitate more toward vintage-inspired over modern.

Random Likes: Anything nature or botanical-related, Anything vintage-inspired, Animals of all kinds, Gnomes, Fairies, Herbal teas - especially bedtime and de-stress teas!

I love all sorts of ephemera, from old papers and envelopes to die cuts, book pages, washi, stickers, and fussy cuts.

I would truly be happy with anything you feel like sending! Send me your favorite quotes or poems, book reviews, TV and movie recommendations, or recipes, or just send me a little note and tell me more about yourself! :)

I'm always looking for penpals, so feel free to reach out if you think we have a lot in common!

I love swapping because I enjoy collecting stationery and making things with it, and it's fun to have someone to send them to, rather than just collecting them in a drawer! I also live in a very rural area where it's hard to meet new people, so swapping is a great way to connect and make new friends. :)

I am new to Swap-bot, but I want you to know that I will always follow the swap requirements to the best of my ability! If I do make a mistake, please reach out to me before leaving a low rating, and I will do whatever I can to make it right! I want you to have a good experience with me as a swap partner, so please communicate if I do something wrong!

Also, I will always leave a comment and a rating as soon as I receive your swap. If I haven't rated it yet, I haven't received it yet. That said, I will always reach out if I don't receive something after a month or so just to let you know, but I don't stress about it too much! This is supposed to be fun, and I'm not out to ruin anyone's day!

Happy swapping!
