As far as crafting, I particularly enjoy doodling, cutting, gluing & collage, rubber stamps, especially alphabets, stickers, labels, ribbons, paints, and anything else to embellish my Art Journals and Scrapbooks. I also have a sloppy gluebook where I paste in anything paper to keep it from junking up my artspace. I love making envelopes from old calendars, magazine pages, and other papers. I also enjoy making postcards & greeting cards. I'm afraid my work is not as neat as the ones in card making magazines, but I am always pleased with the way they turn out. I collect scrapbook paper, alphabet stickers, rubber stamp sets, never have enough scrapbook papers, and have collected many B&W and color images over many years for collage. I have large handwriting and so prefer to use very fine tip pens, like the Pigma Micron 01. I have excellent sewing skills and love to use my machine any chance I can get. I also collect cigar boxes to alter and store odds and sods in. I like decoupage, and any other sort of collage. I love making small photo books, like the KOLO ones with ribbons attached for hanging. I love creating books and binding them. Favorite images - antique suitcases, typewriters, books, cameras, etc. I love vintage and shabby chic anything – I am addicted! LOL! I'm really looking forward to swapping so I can share my craft supplies and meet other people like myself who obsess about PAPER.

Hello, my name is Deb. I'm happy to be on swap-bot, after reading about Hoarders and seeing a season of the TV show of the same name. Where does all this stuff come from? I am a 62 year old grandmother who lives in Alberta, Canada . I have 11 grandchildren. I've lived in Alberta all my life. I am the proud mom of 4 grown children (3 girls and 1 boy). I love to create & to paste found things in my art journal. I enjoy sending postcards, taking pictures, drawing & painting and writing/pasting/doodling in my art journals and gluebooks. I am also busy on scrapbooking (mini albums). I love camping, swimming, and being outdoors in the sun. I've recently been feeling inspired to create stationery, labels and notecards. Looking forward to sending & receiving. :)

I love looking through craft books for inspiration.
