Well I've been on a hiatus for a few years. I am hoping to get back into swapping!

February 11, 2018

Wow, the last update i posted was summer 2016. Anyway, life moves on... out of the blue my husband wanted a divorce so adjusting to that. I hope to get back to swapping one day... we'll see.

About Me

I am a substitute teacher in rural northwestern Alberta, Canada. Most of the time I love my job, but it demands a lot of my time!

I live with my parents and 10-year-old son on a farm. I have a dog named Twizzler and several horses.

Generally, my sense of humour can be crude, or smart, or witty.

Favorite Crafts

For the most part, I prefer to make hand-drawn items. I am not great, but I enjoy it. I have dabbled in different crafts here and there, but I am certainly not highly skilled at any particular thing.

I prefer swaps involving:

~ATCs

~Happy Mail

~Letter writing

~Postcards

~Zentangles

~Art journalling

~Mail art

Comment: Maria, these are lovely, and I absolutely ADORE the Canadian postal one! Thanks for the PC too - I'll use that in a future swap. :)
Response: You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked them. I initially didn't read the swap carefully enough and when I realized that I needed to send four DIFFERENT napkins it was even better, because then I had an excuse to buy some cool napkins!

Comment: Maria, thank you for the postcard with the farm silos. I hate when they tear down a piece of history I suppose it is to costly to have them stand. Shirley
Response: Thanks for the rating! It is definitely heart breaking, but I also understand. At least we have pictures to remember them by!

Response: You're welcome! I love a good bit of paper myself so I was happy to send some on to a fellow papyrophile (that word is sort of made up but sort of real, lol).

Comment: The stamps on the envie alone were worth 10 hearts! they are all so awesome :) thanks for using real stamps!! And the mermaid stickers, i'm not sure I want to share with my kid. since you sent TWO sheets of awesome-sauce stickers, i guess i could keep one and give one to her. Oh, and the journal. yeah, that's pretty sweet too :) love the quote you used and all those body parts!

Thank you for the Unicorn planner stickers for the April M/L/FT WTA. They are super cute!!! I was a little scared to open the envelope when I saw it was from "RedneckGeek.etsy.com", but I was intrigued nonetheless. LOL I can't wait to use them!

Hi ♥

owlsinathens on Apr 27, 2015:

No I didn't make it myself, I found it in a small shop here in Vienna :) Yes, Epona is another name of the Celtic goddess Rhiannon - she's often pictured as the young woman in the threefold goddess :) I have some cool goddess cards where Epona/Rhiannon is pictured as a woman in profile with horses
