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: Jillemina, I am in LOVE with what you sent me! I appreciate the time you took to find a theme that I would enjoy-- the folders turned out amazingly, and I love the sewing details on the big pocket. I also love the little ephemera bits you included! I'm really excited to be able to use these in a journal. Thank you so so much! This was a super special swap.

Comment: Thank you so much for resending Jill! Love your swap as always. And to answer your questions:1)I collected stickers when I was little too! 2)I found Swapbot in 2008, I don't remember how but I took a long break and came back in 2023 and I love it more than ever. See you on the next swap friendπŸ’—

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.

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. Have a good week! Kristi
