About Me

I'm a mother, wife and nature lover.

After working 21 years in a local elementary school, my time is now my own. And I have filled every minute of it.

I have two incredible volunteer jobs ever! During the summer months I am a trail guide at Timpanogos Cave National Monument. And I love it! Spending days hiking the trail and talking to those who are on an adventure is amazing. You can check it out here: https://www.nps.gov/tica/index.htm

During the colder months I volunteer at the Thanksgiving Point Butterfly Biosphere working with the entomologist and horticulturists to help the butterflies thrive. It is peaceful, beautiful and humid. LOVE! You can check it out here: https://thanksgivingpoint.org/experience/butterfly-biosphere/

I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, swimming, pretty much anything! I volunteer as a leave no trace trainer and love to teach and educate others on the importance of respecting our beautiful land.

I love deserts, beaches, forests, all of it! Being outside centers and balances me. You will always find me with a rock, shell or leaf in my pocket. I can't help it!

I have been married to the most wonderful man for 33 years and have 4 children, ages 29-21 and two sweet grand babies! Life is good!

I am an eternal optimist. I try to always look for the good in situations and people.

Everything, I'm not picky. I just appreciate the time it takes to mail something. If it makes you smile, most likely it will make me smile.

In Conclusion

Letters are my favorite part of swaps. I love reading about the lives of others.

Tell me about your favorite hobby or your favorite food.

Tell me what makes you happy or what frustrates you.

Tell me what you did yesterday or what you hope to do tomorrow.

Tell me anything.

Happy SWAPPING!

Comment: Wow! What a special swap you put together! I love the notecard, the little handmade envie (with the boots), and your note! I enjoyed reading all those facts! I am a random fact junkie! I must find a use for that 'boots' envie - too special to not use! Thanks again for a thoughtful swap!

Comment: I also love all National parks. I worked for the park system in Maine for several years before moving to Florida. Arcadia and Biscayne are two of the best, in my opinion.

Comment: I also adore the National Park Service, so this was perfect! I loved learning about Kalaupapa. And I looked up Timpanogos Cave. I love caves. :) Maybe someday I can visit one of them and stamp them in my National Park passport!

Comment: If I could give you more than one heart I would. I really enjoyed reading your letter and also love all the flat goodies that match the theme. I feel bad because I didn't have all that type of ephemera to send to you. I'm still unpacking all my swap/craft stuff. Thank you so much for this enjoyable swap you sent! Hugs to you my swapping friend!

Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful swap goodies. The notecard is gorgeous - I'm guessing the flowers are lupins but they look a lot like bluebonnets, my state's flower. Everything you sent is just lovely, and I also enjoyed your informative note. Thanks again and best wishes!

Comment: Thank you for the fun and informative swap! Our botanical garden used to plant tulips each fall. After the height of the spring bloom, us volunteers would go dig up the bulbs. All the bulbs we could remove, we got to take home! I have a huge tulip garden in my side yard. So pretty each Spring. Happy swapping

Comment: Hi Jill, Thank you so much for the fun Window Flip Pocket! Iโ€™m loving the image peeking through the window and the cheerful patterned paper. Thanks for all the cute goodies you stuffed in. For something so small, itโ€™s amazing how much can fit into the tucks and pockets. I very much enjoyed reading your little study about Bachelorโ€™s Buttons๐Ÿ’•

Hey I am sorry I just found your letter and will write you I feel so ashamed it was in the fold of the letter.

Random! I just saw that you had written on a rating that you grew up in Reno!! So cool. I am a Nevada girl. Maybe one day we will swap and talk more about it :) If you are interested in joining a fun group that I do a lot of swaps in let me know. It's Sunshine Swaps and Mail if you want to check it out.
