I'm married to a fantastic and very patient man. We have a beautiful, curious, and fun 10 year old son. I live in the mountains just outside of Albuquerque. I get to see wildlife passing through my backyard on a regular basis. For my profession I'm a bookbinder. I repair antique and family books, make new books, and teach people how to make books and boxes.

For fun I ride a 1975 Harley Davidson and when I'm stationary I love to make and craft. Embroidery, cross stitch, felting, and sewing are some of my favorites. I also like to journal and use found objects and ephemera on my pages. I love to wander thrift stores and yard sales looking for vintage cloth, glassware, paper, toys, the list goes on!

We love to travel but don't always have lots of money for it. Our last big trip was to the UK for the third time. I really love it there. I love the weather, especially the rain, and I'm so intrigued by the long history of the land and people. My mom was born in Dublin and raised in London and came to the States when she was 16. We are considering a move to England in a few years.

AS for postcards I pretty much like almost anything.
-Photos of local areas
-vintage postcards
-street scenes
-I love owls and pug dogs
-artwork or handmade
-historic buildings and architecture
-archaeological sites or treasures
