Wanna be artist, craftsperson, writer, poet, mother, sister, lover. I'm a 50+ year old mother of two beautiful young adults who have autism. For many years I have used my creativity as a way to relax, have fun and to do something that was 'just for me'.

It has been a couple of years since I created anything and Flickr is a learning curve for me once more. Please be patient if I have cards in the wrong album. I am a jack of all trades and master of none. Collaged ATCs were my first love but recently due to limited supplies I have been drawing and painting. I will never win any awards for my skills but have had a lot of fun!

If you would like to trade ATC's or something else please just ask.I am also a member of swapbot but have not Traded much over there. I am happy to do private trades.

If you like something that is already traded let me know and I will try to make something similar for you. No trade complete without your approval of course.

I love books and reading and have a special interest in children's books and encouraging little ones to love books and reading. I also enjoy photography and hope to one day learn more about using a camera and taking good photos.

I love all things vintage and collect a very eclectic mix of things including vintage jewellery, greeting cards, paper scraps, swap cards, children's books, owls, christmas decorations and more. I also love miniature things and see another collection in the making! update: sadly life has taken me down some rough roads and I had to give up my beloved collections. My art and craft supplies too but I have had some very generous friends who have spoilt me with gifts of basic ATC supplies enabling me to return to creating once more! I will be forever grateful.
