I am married to the most wonderful man going on 9 years now but we have known each other for 15 years! We do not have children but have a wonderfully sweet kitty named Pixie. I am a Reiki Master/Teacher and besides art, that is one of my biggest blessings and gifts in my life. My husband and I travel every year to Ireland for a few weeks-it is our home away from home and it is truly one of the only places I have felt like I am HOME in. I love to create~it is truly my life's passion! Anything from Mixed Media, Collages, Altered Art, ACEOs, whatever it is, I just love it. I love creating anything with faeries, birds (especially Ravens/Crows), and vintage treasures! I have an obsession with old books, rusty objects, music sheets and paper, vintage photos, ephemera, and create with those elements any chance I get! My style is a blending of whimsy and vintage, treasures lost and then found!

I definitely spoil whomever receives me as a swap partner. I enjoy giving presents and really try to make the recipient feel like they are receiving a very special gift from a friend. To me, presentation is everything and it is details that make swaps beautiful!
