Please rate my swaps. I am finding I have to ask my partners to rate the journals I send. I put a lot of work and heart into them and I would like the credit for it. Thanks!

I'm trying to rebuild my rating after a family tragedy in 2019 as I am left out of a lot of fun swaps. Each five earns me 3 points. As of today that means I need 21 more 5 star ratings to be eligible for simple postcard swaps or virtual swaps that require 4.98

For random drawing/sketching swaps, you do you. I sometimes don't know what I like until I see it. Even if a drawing isn't "my thing" I can still find something in it to appreciate. I enjoy the freedom to just draw something that strikes me as interesting or funny at the time and send it out. Art is freedom to express.

I enjoy gardening and after a break due to my exhausting job, I am looking forward to growing and putting up my own fruit and veggies again. Just in time for everything to go haywire, right?

Books are my comfort. I have an eclectic reading taste. My library loves me because I order books in all the time. Rural folks around here apparently aren't as curious as I am, LOL. I enjoy bookish things, even free bookmarks. I like to include them with my Little Free Library donations.

I have a booth in an antique/craft store to help re-home things and give me a little cash. Unfortunately the store is closing in March. I will miss the fun of chatting with people who are always looking for some odd thing or another! I will miss the bit of income also.

I don't have a television so I have no clue what is on television or cable etc.

I am very much into frugal living. I am on a very fixed income.

I am a big fan of Lynda Berry's Composition book style. I have all her books but only for inspiration. My dream would be to take one of her torturous classes!

I LOVE composition books. I love anything composition book related. I am also a big fan of Sharpies. I've done big art pieces in them for shows in the past. I need a new set but can't choke out the $60 right now.

I keep various glue books in cheap composition notebooks. For example, one is strictly for catholic religious stuff, from the ridiculous to sublime. I often add trash I find like notes, grocery lists, tags etc. I find it cathartic to slap glue books full of stuff, esp. when I am frustrated with the world.

I enjoy a good laugh.

I do like flamingos. They represent balance. I have a vestibular condition that affects my balance.

My favorite color is pink, all shades. There is nothing more sickening than tons of gaudy pink to catch one's eye!

BUT I like every color. I am drawn more to combinations of color. I can "taste" my favorites...not literally but in my mind. Yes, I am one of those weirdos. I do gravitate to browns and I am a huge huge fan of just good old black and white.

I am mainly interested in letter writing, journaling or postcard swaps. My favorites are journal swaps of all kinds be it a week or month or longer. I also enjoy question a day or listing types.
