Away notice!

**

2024is going to be a traveling year, yay! I have a laptop but due to weight restrictions I can only take my iPad. Most hotels I stay at have crappy internet service so I can't always go on swapbot. So if it shows I haven't been here it's due to my inability to connect.

Favorite Television

Do it yourself shows, cooking shows. Documentaries that teach me something.

Favorite Books

I enjoy mysteries, true crime stories, biographies, travel stories and I read cook books as a hobby.

Things I really love

I love colors but don't like red or really pink things. I'm a big fan of Art Deco, Gargoyles, Buddha pictures, elephants, colors and patterns of all sorts. I love tulips and pretty flowers. I'm into washi tape.But please don't send me more! My favorite painters are almost all the Dutch Masters, I like Monet and Georgia O'Keefe as well.

Don't like.

I would REALLY prefer no cursive handwriting, I wasn't raised learning how to read it and I have hard time reading it. If it is however how you write then please write a litte bigger with spacing!

I don't like strong scents either in perfume or candles. Real lavender is always good. Due to dietary restrictions no food please. Not a fan of cartoon items, **please no stickers,no Hello Kitty things I don't care for beach/overly flowery or very pink stationary.**

Cities and places I love.

Favorite cities, Amsterdam-Lyon-Paris-Avignon-Mont Saint Michel-San Francisco- Seattle-Chicago.

About Me

Jack of all trades, very creative and active every day. I don't work but I volunteer at an educational farm and as a reading tutor. I love dancing, just got certified as a Zumba instructor.

Favorite Crafts

Knitting, weaving and spinning my own wool. Coloring books is another thing I love, I have too many and not enough time to sit down and color.

Favorite Music

Anything Latin or Zumba. Or both.

Comment: Thank you for sharing what you read… I tend to read 2 or 3 books at once as well. Plus I am often in a Bible Study group! I was trying to find the Tulip book you mentioned but it is Tulipomania so I finally found it. I recently watched a TV program about Tulips in Holland. Interesting! Thanks for the extras…I love everything!
Response: Yeah, that was the title. Very interesting.

Comment: Thank you for the postcard. I think I agree with you this time. Far too many colours for a rainbow.

Comment: I remember driving g down Lo.bard street in the late eighties. And now you can only walk down it. That would bug me to have cars constantly driving close to the front of my house. I hear that weddings in the Indian culture are long and big events. Thanks so much.

Hi MarHelene, I got the Art Collab postcard you finished and sent in today's mail, it was a very happy surprise! Thank You for your work and returning it for me. 🐟🐠🐡

Thank you for returning my Coloring Collab Elephant postcard. I loved seeing everyone's contributions.

DeboraCreates on Mar 25, 2023:

Thank you for returning my full Art Collab PC #95. It came out great!

TexyDeb on Jan 28, 2023:

Sadly, you do not understand the idea behind the traveling postcards. Returning mine immediately to me makes me sad. It did not travel at all. Also, the first time you joined you sent and extra-large postcard which costs more to mail.

Hope you have a Happy Birthday!
