I love to put pen to paper and I am here looking for fun reasons to do that more often! I'm particularly interested in swapping post cards and letters.

The basics: Professionally, I am a Director of Operations and Technical Writer. I'm married, we have two adult children and three cats! I have various hobbies and interest such as collecting vintage and primitive witches, fountain pens & ink, hoarding stationary and houseplants, fiddling with needle crafts and fiber arts, often while listening to audio books - Sometimes I read the old fashioned way.

I'm currently spending most of my creative time snail mailing! :) I'm a long-time knitter, crocheter, cross stitcher, and I sew as well. I also have a daily doodling habit, I journal most days, and use a Traveler's Notebook system primarily for functional planning, but I enjoy incorporating artistic elements too.
