On the Road

This is the reason I am not around lately. My husband now works over the road Truck driving. He loves it and so do I. I am lucky I get to go with him. I do swaps with penpals because it is easier to do on truck then my 3-d projects. I try to put things on here but have no 3-d items because of gone too much and hard to take a machine on a bumpy truck. I do have a group started its called Flip That Swap. Its a place to make new friends we do pocket letters, Mini pocket letters, flip books, mini albums, papersack pockets bags, and send them to our friends that we are partnered with at time of swap date. If you would like to join just go over to facebook or type in flip that swap and ask to join. I will approve. If you do join I ask that you at least do one swap please. thank you I can still be contacted by pm on facebook. Not gone anywhere just a different direction for now. hugs
