Hello from Idaho! My name is Tammy and I believe Making Matters!

I enjoy making cards and make how to videos occasionally as you will see in my links. God Bless and stay creative!

Verse for the year: Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

Previously from Southern California and I love the beach! I've also lived in the desert area so living by sand has been my life till Idaho!

I've been married for 33 years to a wonderful man and have 2 grown daughters that I homeschooled their entire career. I inherited a schnauzer mix dog, Ramsey, who has been my sidekick for over 7 years. Poor guy has anxiety but is doing the best he can.

I love the Lord Jesus and attend a wonderful church. I am currently reading through The One Year Chronological Bible Expressions. It is a big one as it has room for notes and some lovely line art and lettering for coloring. I started making the videos as a gift for my granddaughter because she and her family lived 2000 miles away, but now they are here with us in Idaho! I can read to her personally anytime!!! All that recording made me comfortable with myself and I became an instructor on the Skillshare platform. I also show much of my art on Instagram. You will probably see what I am sending in my swaps!

I love to learn, look for the positive, and I collect things like old classic books, vintage, ephemera, art supplies, watercolor, pen and ink, brush calligraphy, and fabric. I like to organize, check things off my to-do list, and am a person of my word. I send early and rate quickly. I especially like thrifting and a favorite place I frequent is a craft supply thrift store!

I love sending and receiving happy mail! My favorite art is making collage, mixed media, zines, watercolor, brush lettering, making circuit stickers, doodling and creating envelope art. I can crochet and mostly make dish rags and beanies. I enjoy handwriting notes for swaps and sending extras.

Likes: vintage, die cuts, gel prints, stencils, foreign language book pages, watercolor sample dots, stickers, impressionism art, old book pages, nature, children's book illustrations, washi, postcards, found words, quotes and sayings, fabric, lace, vintage clip art, textured papers, double sided scrapbook paper. I'm always needing botanical die cuts for my collage.

Fan of old movies like Arsenic and Old Lace, Imitation of Life, and Rear Window. I like suspense shows like Hitchcock but don't like gore and horror. Classic book reader here and love authors Jane Austen, CS Lewis, and my new favorite is Frances Hodgson Burnett. I rarely re-read a book (too many I haven't read) but I have re-read The Secret Garden, Little Women, and To Kill a Mockingbird and always find something new in them. I prefer YA books and especially Newbery Award books. I'm currently reading P. G. Wodehouse (author). Just finished Jane Eyre. Currently reading Little Lord Fauntleroy.

I especially like handmade gifts. I appreciate time spent in creating and then sharing your talent with me! You inspire me to keep creating by your creativity! I heart liberally. Swapping is an effort and I want to show my appreciation in this way!

Not a fan of: kiddie stickers (although I will pass them onto my granddaughter), fluorescent/neon colors, vulgar language, gore, romance or popular fiction, and I rarely see current movies. I don't need food or drink items. No scented anything. Also dislike non-raters.
