Hello new Postcrossing friend! Thank you for reading my profile!

I will cherish any card you choose for me. But just in case you’d like some suggestions, here are some of my favorites:

*Handmade cards! I truly adore getting these. If you are a photographer, artist, or crafter of any kind, PLEASE share your creativity with me. Just be sure your creation is strong enough to go through the mail!
*Art of any kind, but especially fantasy art (and especially dragons!). I also really love the works of the romantic painters, especially John William Waterhouse.
*Animals of any kind, especially dogs, especially border collies
*Ancient or giant trees
*Beautiful flowers, plants, and mushrooms
*Mountains and waterfalls
*Space and celestial
*Yarn, knitting, weaving, and other fiber or bead crafts
*Inspirational words—I’m particularly fond of the mystic poets Rumi and Hafiz
*Any place or thing that you love and find inspiring. I’d especially enjoy it if you write about why you picked what you picked!

And now a little bit more about me…

My name is Kerrie. I live in the beautiful city of Albuquerque, New Mexico, right in the heart of the American Southwest. I love to read (especially fantasy and science fiction), knit, crochet, and grow flowers and veggies in my living room hydroponic garden (my romaine lettuce is fantastic!). For many years I worked as writer; you can find my book “Life, The Universe, and Houseplants”, all about my adventures growing indoor plants, at Amazon. However, in 2017 I started a grand new adventure: college! I zipped through my undergrad and am now working on a Master of Accounting degree, with hopes to sit my first section of the CPA exam (to become a Certified Public Accountant) in December 2022.

In 2017, I was honored to be named a Postcrossing Ambassador thanks to an essay about Postcrossing I wrote for an American newspaper. You can read it here: https://www.csmonitor.com/The-Culture/The-Home-Forum/2017/1004/Postal-diplomacy

I have a rare autoimmune disorder called Behcet's Disease…at least it’s rare in the United States; I understand it’s much more common elsewhere in the world. If you have any experience with it, I’d love to hear from you.

Looking forward to your cards!
