About Me

I am a homemaker married to the man of my dreams. We own a photobooth company and I also own a seasonal dockside restaurant at a local marina.

I live in NJ at the southern most part surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay. My husband and I have four kids (ages 21-29). We love to travel, either camping, cruising or road tripping! We spend as much time as we can on the water when the weather is fit, either fishing, boating or stand up paddleboarding. In our ’free time’ love to garden (I grow over 50 tomato plants every year) and raise chickens (for the eggs) and bees. I also have a small greenhouse to start things early from seeds. I really want my own dairy cow because I enjoy making cheese. I enjoy photography and taking photos of our travels.

Tablescapes are one of my favorite things to create. I have over 10 sets of china, dozens and dozens of glasses and multiple sets of flatware. I have been crafting my whole life and swapping for about 20 years now (with a few hiatuses in there). I am a past Event Lead for our local Relay For Life (the American Cancer Society's #1 fundraiser) and spend most of my free time raising money and awareness. If you are a cancer survivor and need something, please contact me, I can help get you the help you need.

Favorite Crafts

I am mostly a paper crafter. But I enjoy almost any craft including crocheting and sewing, even woodworking and glass slumping. I enjoy coloring. I also have been working on my calligraphy and hand lettering.

I have been working on handcrafted cocktails and bringing vintage cocktails back in style.

I also enjoy reusing, recycling, upcycling items. Recently my husband and I have started making things from reclaimed wood together.

I am constantly making greeting cards, ATC's and Project Life cards.

I LOVE handmade Christmas presents and it is my goal to have a completely handmade Christmas!

Likes and Dislikes

Likes: Sharpies, erasable art pens, gel pens, chalk pens, alcohol inks, wool yarn and felt, solar lights, ink pads and stamps, Project Life sized items, card stock, colored paper and scrapbook papers, address labels and any blank “Avery” type label sheets of any size labels, coffee, tea, spices, non-GMO seeds (vegetables, herbs and flowers), personal organizers, highlighters, post-its, embossing powders, glitter, dark chocolate, wine and cheese. ANYTHING handmade! Shells, seaglass and anything related to fishing, the beach or the ocean.

Dislikes: Anything perfume-y and scented (it makes me unable to breathe), black licorice and peanuts.

Wishlist

yarn (love handspun yarn!!), blank notecards with envelopes, Disney Swap pins and Disney vinylmations, rolodex (I love rolodexes), altered rolodex cards, washi tape, ATC's, matchboxes, Project Life sized items. Quilt blocks, granny sqaures. If you want to make anything for me I like almost anything handmade! My favorite color is pink (with blues/aqua close behind) and in my home my favorite colors are silver, gold and a sea glass blue.

Swaps I've Hosted

I haven't hosted any swaps here, but I have successfully hosted swaps from time to time. I've been swapping for 20+ years and have hosted and participated in hundreds of swaps.

Hopefully I can get back to hosting after proving myself to everyone here.

Comment: I love the card - but was so surprised by the ACS Relay for Life note - I am on the committee for the one in my town! It is such a great event! I have not seen the little note piece like you sent, going to have to check in to the availability of those here....gave me ideas!
Response: That's great that you are on your committee too! They are sun and moon cards and most times are used at businesses to raise money by having people purchase them for $1. I got some from my staff partner and I give $1 for each swap I do and then use the sun and moon card as my note. The ACS also has cupcakes and feet. Good luck with your event.

Comment: Arrived in a body bag with no indication of who it from or what it was for, and after talking to you, it seems like a few things are missing. Thank you for sending ♥ I wish it had been in one piece, but it wasnt your fault. USPS seems to be getting pretty bad lately with handling our mail

Comment: I received some awesome seeds in the mail today! Thanks for going above and beyond. I was pleased with the selection and can't wait to try the Blue Hubbard Squash...maybe I'll even make a pie with one! :)
Response: Happy to read that you liked them. The Hubbard squash is originally from my grandfather. It's a personal favorite.

Response: So glad you like them. The Calabrese broccoli always gives me trouble, maybe you will have better luck. The others are some of my favorites!
