About Me

**FYI five-cent increase for Forever stamps, July 13, from 73 cents to 78 cents. **

This is Rita, my new Jack Russell, can you believe someone abandoned that face?

Don’t know what’s going on with postal system- last year I had more than a few I had to resend. This year, I had a card returned for .46 in state, & not overweight or too thick. Today I received a card again, not overweight or thick. Another.46 to receive it. I’ve also sent an international postcard 3x & still hasn’t received :(

I really like receiving postcards without plastic wrapping. I like the stamps & marks on the card, otherwise it seems more like a journal page without the stamps

Rethink Waste: Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle. Reuse packing materials & pass on things I can’t use.

My name is Sandra, married 32 years, and live in Ohio.

Married my husband after dating 8 weeks. He has 5 children & I have 2. We have 18 grandchildren & 14 great children.

Retired after working since I was 16. I’ve done factory, retail, customer service & last was medical billing.

Love taking photos. And over the years many craft things, such as sewing, ceramics, and now paper crafting.

Comment: You write the best letters, Sandra! I laughed and laughed over this one...you're right; she DOESN'T get it. Real life, that is...and that's something that will bite her in the bum for years to come. All my thoughts and prayers to her! When I post a swap, I never usually have anything particular in mind. Even the "3 Elements" swaps are (except for 3 things) completely up for individual translation. Ages ago, one swapper said that she couldn't make ATCs like mine, and. my response was Thank Goodness! If I only wanted to see work just like mine, I'd save the postage and craft for myself! I love your ATC, and Hilda has never looked better. And that naughty little goat! Everything came together beautifully on the ATC...I love the power of pretty paper napkins!
Response: as always, a wonderful rating & heart, thank you. I will send more letters, in the continuing saga

Comment: All the layers and pokey-outy bits are wonderful, my friend...I love it! Honestly though, the main character's expression is the same one that I used to use when posing for family photos between the ages of 12-15 (those were tough years for my parents). My mom used to say "straighten out your face!" and I knew I had to, at that point. Your sewing reminds me that I have to remove the piles of stuff from my sewing machine so I can stitch too!
Response: A little sewing goes a long way in paper crafting doesn’t it? Hope you’re starting to feel better soon- thank you for the rating & heart

Comment: Sandra...such a lovely ATC, with something new to see every time I look at it! I love the copper strip at the top, the heart-shaped cutout in the center, and the texture everywhere! Also, it must be said that you always send a real letter, which is amazing. I love that part best!
Response: You always give the best reviews- even when you don’t feel good. Thank you so much for the heart & rating

Comment: HI Sandra and thanks so much for this cute black cat journal page. I love that you created and stitched a pocket to the front of the page and the little black cat die cut is adorable. What a perfect sentiment as well! And thanks for the little goodies in the pocket. Fun swap!
Response: Laurie, this is my problem I see potential in most things.. the pocket is a bag they put the silverware in at some restaurants! Perfect size for a 4x6 page. Thank you for hearts &rating

HAPPY AUTUMN EQUINOX!

Your puzzle piece ATC for the Mystery Supply swap came out great, Sandra. I like the dark and mysterious vibe it's sending. Thanks and I'll post pix soon. Cheers!

Hi Sandra. I just received the USATC Mystery Supply ATC #3. You did a great job of using the chain. So fun! I'll post photos in the group forum once I receive the others. Cheers!

Hi Sandra- I LOVE 💜 your Mystery Supply ATC #2 card. It's so well done, using so many mediums. The pumpkin mirror image is so unique. Thanks also for the Telugu book page. What a gorgeous text...I don't think I can give that one away on an ATC. Will post all pix to group forum once received.
