About Me

I'm Moira, a 40 year old who grew up in upstate NY but now resides in GA.

I am a mom to three (ages 21, 18, 15).

I’m married. My husband retired from the Navy.

I absolutely love animals. We have 2 dogs, 6 cats, and a gerbil.

I will NEVER flake on a trade. I have had people flake on me in journal swaps and it really sucks to put in so much effort and get nothing in return. :(

Favorite Books

I am a book collector and basically have my own library of books. I like all types- physical, ebook and especially audiobooks. Lately my favorite genres are romance (the spicier, the better), thrillers and memoirs but I will read almost anything.

Favorite Television

True Crime shows of any variety, almost any show that involves first responders or medical personnel (fiction or real life), "reality tv", Gilmore Girls, Supernatural, cooking shows, etc.

I like to have stuff on as background noise while I craft.

I also enjoy "booktube" and crafty/journaling youtube videos

Favorite Crafts

I love writing in/decorating journals and especially love trading them! Mine are pretty much full of whatever I feel like adding when I sit down to work on them. :)

Writing and receiving long letters

Postcards

I love any and all postcards. Touristy or not. Weird, fun, beautiful, ugly, it doesn't matter!

Random

I COLLECT ANYTHING RELATED TO ALICE IN WONDERLAND

*adult themes/ "inappropriate humor" doesn't offend me

*Rainbows and stars are some of my favorite "themes"

*Halloween is my favorite holiday

*Taylor Swift is my absolute favorite.

*anything London related

*stickers and washi tape

*80s cartoon characters

*I adore Disney- including the villains

*kawaii

*Kuromi

*daisies

*coloring mandalas (or similar types of coloring pages) with sharpies

*mermaids

*elephants

*I love to trade little flat goodies that can be used in letters or journals

Not for me, thanks

*religion

*conservative politics

*Seafood/seafood recipes

*tea

Comment: Nice to hear from you again! I love your selection of memo papers :) You always have such a fun way of describing the activities you do and what your children are up to, I think it's your neat handwriting that helps with the flow. Thank you for the extra stickers (fall themed :) and the notecard too!!

Comment: Thank you for the adorable envelope and stickers!! I love the kitties :) The card is also absolutely adorable :) Your postcards are also so so cute!! I love the Big Hero 6 one the best!! I'm also very introverted, so I get what you're saying about preferring snail mail :) I also love to collect things...maybe too many things? Haha! My latest obsession has been anime figures, specifically a series of them called "Nendroids"! They're super cute :) Thank you again!!

Comment: Oh my goodness Moira, I'm absolutely loving the Nutcrackers / Ballerinas Christmas card! Two of my favorite Christmas decorations! I loved reading your nice note too and loving the Christmas stickers as well! Thanks so much for all of these! So, Did you decide yet where to put the Christmas tree? My son Blaze (31) who lives with me and I are putting up a real tree this year, in honor of my late husband ( who passed Jan. 1st, 2025). It will go in front of our living room front window of the house. I want to make sure everyone sees it who passes by. Well, I really hope you & yours have a fabulous time at your in-laws for Christmas! I have 4 other children besides Blaze ( two live in NY, one lives in NJ, and the other lives down state PA. in Clark Summit. They all will be here for Christmas Eve and Day, along with my 4 grandkids. I can hardly wait to see them all ! Wishing you all the best Happy Holidays ever!

Hi Moira. I sent to you for the Journal of Lists Round 3, and tracking says it arrived 10 days ago; however, I haven't been rated. I really hope the journal didn't go missing! Can you please let me know if you rec'd it? Thanks much. Desiree

I was wondering where you would find a unicorn penny without any place name on it! How odd. There are penny machines in some of the weirdest places- Ben's base even has a machine on it! My favourite machines are the ones that seem to not really have much business being there.
