About Me

Just a heads up -- I upload pix of what I'm about to send to ^^^ that Flickr account. If you don't want to see what is coming your way, best not to look, yet. :)

I'm a married, mother of one university student, daughter. I work part time in a grocery store.

I have a toy poodle, a large cat and 2 canaries.

Likes

I like my ATC's to be in Portrait mode/orientation, so that they are all stored the same way in the binder and you don't have to turn the binder sideways to see some of them. (So, the 2.5 inch is the width at the top and bottom, and the 3.5 inch is the height on either side.)

I like the ATC to have something on it besides a pencil-crayon colored drawing. Embellishments, or ribbon, or washi tape or die cuts or embossing make the ATC look fabulous. IMO.

I prefer vibrant colors over pastels.

I love rubber stamps (and acrylic ones)

Mail art and making the envelopes

Hand made envelopes

Die cuts

Embossed paper

"Ancient Alien" stuff

Calligraphy

Birds

Cats, dogs

Tarot Cards

Note cards

Recently started liking ephemera, so if you have any weird/cool papers feel free to send it along.

Poetry - nice sayings, not religious. Quotes or song lyrics.

Doubles of ready made, light colored, ATC background paper. (Because I always make 2. One for you and one for me)

Washi tape

DisLikes

Please, no food or candy items

And please, no religious items.

Pet Peeves

Postage costs are outrageous, especially international! (overseas)

So, I started an ATC group called- ATCanadaUS,

ATCanadaUS

Please join!

Hello fellow canadian!! I hear you on international postage rates-working in a post office I try so hard to help people make their mail qualify for the cheapest option-which is still 2.50 internationally! Crazy!! I hope you have a wonderful day and I hope to swap with you again one day! :)
