About Me

11-04-13: Taking a break for a while - I have Christmas gifts to make. :)

Happy Swapping - H


I love getting snail-mail. Even when I was a kid I was the one who always wrote letters and sent cards.

I've been doing Postcrossing for about 3 years (my UID on PC is ShinyPennies as well).

I have an Etsy shop and liked doing crafts for that - lately I have been just wanting to make things for fun - not to sell. (Also Shiny Pennies on Etsy.)

I am new to this - but promise I am not a flaker. :D

Favorite Crafts

I love lots of crafts. I knit & crochet, I love making gifts for friends. I did cross-stitch when I was younger Γ’β‚¬β€œ but donÒ€ℒt really have the patience nowadays. I do a lot of paper crafts Γ’β‚¬β€œ making cards, etc.

I really enjoy drawing and painting, but I am not the greatest. I like to paint - mostly watercolor washes. I've been using my paintings for the backgrounds of my ATCs. Again - just getting started. :)

IÒ€ℒve recently gotten into Zentangles. Mine look a little childish to me - but hopefully they will get better with practice.

Favorite Books

I love to read - but don't get to nearly as much as I would like. I love Ken Follet, Nelson Demille, and lately Phillipa Gregory books.

Dislikes

There aren't really a lot of things I dislike. I am not a big fan of creepy crawlies, snakes, etc. I like steampunk - but not anything really gruesome, i.e. no zombies. :)

Likes

I love animals - that is my dog Huey in my profile picture.

I like otters, foxes, pandas, ducks, elephants, rabbits and pikas; I like flowers and pretty nature scenes.

My favorite color is pink.

Random things I like:
- Steampunk
- Alice in Wonderland
- All Mythology (Asian, Greek, Nordic, all!)
- Matrix movies
- playing cards
- Tarot cards
- flowers
- animals
- travel
- postage
- maps
- old movies: Gone with the Wind, Auntie Mame, Gypsy, Casablanca, and the list goes on...

Comment: A very cute card. I like the hand stitching.
Response: I like the Around the World swaps because I have a ton of stamps from all over and get to use them - of course I had NO stamps from Mexico... lol

Comment: I did an "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS" ATC too! Thank you! I also love the font you used for the envie. I've been looking for a font JUST like that but couldn't find that old typewriter style. What is the name of that font, if you dont mind. :D Also, Thank you for the ATC sleeves. I just ran out!

I'm loving the break in the heat! I hope it continues! I am so very over this heat, I want to get out to the zoo and all sorts of places with the kids. We're just waiting for it to cool down a little more. I can't wait :) I hope you're doing well - looks like you're having a great time swapping.

I hope you're feeling better and that you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
