About Me

Edited June 19, 2024-

Hi my name is Lori. I am a NewYorker by birth and a Texan by choice. My husband & I moved to Texas back in 1981 right after graduating college and never thought we’d still be here!! But we love it!!

I’m trying to start displaying my swaps on Instagram Artsylori2023. I could not get a link to work.

If you do not receive a swap from me PLEASE contact me for a re-send!! Mail is undependable everywhere!!!!

MUSIC: My Favorite music is Country & Classic Rock.

BOOKS: I love to read in my spare time. I find it very relaxing to get lost in a book. Mostly Romance with some mystery are preferred. Some of my favorite authors right now are: Colleen Hoover, Susan Mallery, Nicholas Sparks, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Jodi Piccoult, Kristin Hannah, Freida McFadden and Ruth Ware to name a few. Since starting swap-bot and spending more time in my art room I listen to audio books while I do art rather than read print books.

TRAVEL: I love to travel with my husband & grown children when they are available. I love learning about other cultures in the USA as well as going further to foreign countries. We frequent the Bahamas a lot. Anywhere in the Caribbean is a plus. We also travel to a National Park at least once a year. We take turns on which member of the family gets to choose the park for the following year!! We have been to Europe several times also. But I do believe there is still so much beauty in the US to see!

CRAFTS: As far as crafting goes I love just about any craft. But mostly paper crafts. My favorite is Cardmaking, bookmaking and creating Art Journals. Since joining Swap-bot I have made a lot of post cards, ATC’s & APC’s. I love all of these as well. I’ve also made homemade paper. I’m a big recycler and like repurposing whatever I can in my crafting. I can stay in my Art Room for hours and just lose track of time. I am not afraid to try just about any craft and have done many over the years.

FAVORITES: *I don’t really have a favorite color but do like bright colors rather than pastels. I also like Fall colors. The combination of black & white is pleasing to my eye in both photos & paper crafts. * I like vintage but just not as much as bright and bold. * I love collages and mixed media art
* Stamping & Stickers of- Dragonflies-they are such interesting insects!! Ladybugs Bumble Bees Sea Turtles Starfish Llamas Sun & Moon Coffee & Tea Fairies Nature * Contemporary, modern, geometric things * I always prefer homemade rather than store bought.

DISLIKES: I am pretty easy going and can’t think of many dislikes right now. I may edit that at some point!! LOL!! Hopefully I won’t offend anyone!!

*kawaii *anime *Kid/cutesie *I don’t love cats but cat art is okay. *Glitter *sequins that will fall off art *Although I like using ribbon please don’t send any because I have so much of it. Unless it’s lace, I don’t have any of that. *Crocheted, knitted, or yarn art. *I have plenty of paper so unless it is very unique I don’t need any. *Please do not send food items

My first year as a member of Swap-bot.❤️ has been so enjoyable. I feel like I know so many of the ladies I swap with!! I’m looking forward to the years to come.

Comment: Wonderful book selection this month! What’s your favorite of McFadden’s? I read 9 (too many!) of her books in January but I still have so many more! I want to read Dead Med but should I read Suicide Med first? I hear it’s just a rewrite. Anyways, Happy March reading, listening, and making art! And thank you so much for the goodies, the bookmark you make is absolutely gorgeous!
Response: Hi Ria-thanks for the heart rating!!! I haven’t heard of Dead Med or Suicide Med. I will have to look those McFadden books up. Some of my favorites were the first ones I read - The Inmate, The Perfect Son, Never Lie, The Wife Upstairs. And most recently I really enjoyed The Housemaid Series even though I prefer stand alone books!! Let me know what great ones you’ve read if different from the ones I’ve mentioned!!!

Comment: Thank you for joining the swap. I'm sorry, i meant to get this done on Sun, but I got word from a friend that he was coming to stay for the week. Nothing like inviting yourself! He was here for 3 days and I sent him home...He was hacking something awful. So I spent Wed and Thurs decontaminating the house with lysol, and washing the bedding. So.... thank you for the wonderful Coffee ATC. Very cute... and I do like my coffee ☕️!! Thank you also for the extras, I know they will get used! And the yellow daisy (or are they a form of sunflower?) Card is beautiful-did you take the Pic? Thank you again for everything. Hope to see you in another swap soon. Love that you made the envie coffee and still have a coffee stamp! Superb!!
Response: Leslie thanks for the heart rating and all your sweet comments!! Yes I take the pictures that I put on my Lit’l enclosure cards. Lots of nature or just interesting things I come across!! Then I have them printed in wallet size. Ugh and yuck abt having to clean after your sick friend left!! I would’ve worn a mask the whole time!!! LOL!!!
