I'm a thirty-something married woman from mid-Michigan! I have several fur-babies and like a simple life. We burn wood in our home for heat so there is always wood-smoke in the home. I have no allergies myself. I like to garden and hope to become more self-sufficient in the future. I am a liberal-minded individual that is pagan-leaning in spirituality. I am looking for some pen-pals with similar interests. I would prefer US as shipping gets costly internationally, but would trade just letters or post cards out of the US.

I like a range of music from classic rock to indie-pop. I don't care for most rap, blues, country, gospel, jazz, or Disney-type music. 90's alternative rock is my favorite go to music, but I listen to a lot of newer Indie music too.

I have so many favorite books and authors! J.R.R. Tolkien is a classic along with Steven King, and George R.R. Martin. I like the Immortal Instruments and Infernal Devices books by Cassandra Clare. I enjoyed the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. I love the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris! I have so many other books I love too!

I watch more television than I probably should... The current shows I watch/follow are (in no particular order): Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How To Get Away With Murder, General Hospital, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Speechless, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Real Time with Bill Maher, Treehouse Masters, Tiny House Nation

Shows no longer on air: Friends, True Blood, Ugly Betty, Private Practice, LOST

I like to do a variety of crafts. I like to paint and am getting into making journals. I recently starting making gelli prints, and have made ATCs for several years now. I like to do wood crafts and jewelry. I am currently trying to expand my paper art techniques. I do very simple sewing and crochet. I tried knitting but just can't get the hang of it. I play around a bit with poly clay, but am not very good with it yet.

I like scrappy stuff! I'm not really into frilly or perfection! I like junk journals, old stuff, quirky, whimsical, and grungy. I like bold colors, zentangles, doodles, zetti, found objects, and repurposed things. I like nature, plants, animals, cityscapes and villages. I like occult, supernatural, cryptozoology, divination, and gypsy stuff. I like old little campers and classic cars. My Pinterest page has a bunch of ideas!
