In my 70’s Era!! It’s my birthday month, 70 years on this earth. 🎂

If you’re my partner & reading my profile, I want you to know that I’d much rather receive a note from you than ephemera or other extras. You are rated on your swap, you earn your heart ❤️ on how well made your swap is. Your note can tell me about how you chose to make your swap, your pets or how your day, week or month is going, a funny joke OR send me your favorite easy recipe! I make a weekly menu to plan our meals and only buy groceries for that weeks menu. Keeps me from over buying & it’s working. I’m running out of ideas! I love notes from my partner. So please don’t feel like you need to add extras to your swap to earn a ❤️.

When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks. But celebrate them with glad cries of “me too!” be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your Tribe.

Be around the light bringers, the magic makers, the world shifters, the game shakers. They challenge you, break you open, uplift & expand you. They don’t let you play small with your life. These heartbeats are your people. These people are your Tribe.

I’m still looking for my tribe.

HI THERE!! Thanks for stopping by, I’m Deborah, but prefer to be called Deb or Debbie. My hubby is the only person I know that actually calls me Deborah, dad called me Deb & mom always called me Debbie.

I’m a down to earth Texas country girl. Grew up in small town & now still living the small town life. I am married to the love of my life that actually supports all that I do.

I’m a mom to 2 daughters (1son-in-laws), a Mimi to 6 grandkids (1 grand-daughter-in-law & 2 grandsons-in-laws) and 9 precious GREAT grand children ( 7 boys & 2 girls)💙💝💙💙💙💙💙💙💝 New years Day we found out that a new great grandbaby will be here in July!! A baby GIRL 💝! I’m over the moon excited!

And a mom to one fur baby Skeeter, a Chihuahua-Italian Greyhound mix. He’s ROTTEN!! He turned 14 11/19/25. I was my parents caregiver from 2016 to 2023. Mom passed away from Alzheimer’s 💜 September 9, 2019 and Dad passed from Parkinson’s 🧡 May 9, 2023. It was hard, but so glad we were able to keep them in their home up until the end. I miss them both so much.

The stress & work of caring for them did take a toll on my health. I developed A-Fib in 2018, both of my knees got bad with the lifting & high blood pressure. I had right knee replaced in 2023 & left in 2024. It’s good to walk without the pain but the heart problems make me tired & breathless real easy. But if I take it slow & take short break to catch my breath I’m fine. Hubby helps me with the housework, he’s too good! But stress is gone and I have my craft room. So I can go in there, turn on my Bluetooth speaker, find some great tunes on YouTube and craft away. Funny how 3 plus hours slip by so fast when you’re having fun. But I come out relaxed and satisfied that I have swaps made & ready to mail. Speaking of ready to mail! I have been taking my swaps to the post office just to get my postage right. The girl that WAS working there a couple months ago was awesome. She’d ooooo & aaahhhh over my envelopes and she’d put fun stamps on them. BUT the new lady that was there last time I went in just printed out the ugly white tag & slapped it on my pretty envelopes I worked so hard on. 😡 And then tossed them in a box. I told Hubby when I went back to the truck, “I’ve got to find my postal scale & get lots of stamps! I don’t like the gal working the counter!” I have been asking them to hand cancel my swaps the day I mail them too.

Papercrafts: handmade envelopes (all sizes), cards, flip books (new love), journal pockets, and mini books are some of my latest “ohhh I like making these!” crafts. I’ll search YouTube for different tutorials to try out. I have the We R Memory Keepers Envelope punch board, the tag and pocket punch boards and the mini ABC punch board, boxes punch board, flower punch board, frame punch board & mini to large file folder punch board. If you would like any crafts from these boards message me and we could possibly work out a swap.

Journaling: Junk & art are more or less for me. I jot down things that mom or dad might say, something the hubs did to lift my spirits or something hilarious he said (he’s really good at keeping me laughing these days). I can’t draw to save my life! I doodle good 🤣, but give me ephemera, stamps, Coptic markers, glue & embellishments and I’m a happy journalist! I also love to swap small art pages with others to add to my journals.

Besides having a large assortment of Tim Holtz products my newest addiction is Graphic 45! OMG, their papers & ephemera is gorgeous! So far I have:
Flutter
Fairie Dust
Seasons
Winter Wonderland
Kaleidoscope
Bloom
Fairie Wings
Blossom
Lost in paradise
Woodland Friends
Let It Snow
Bird Watcher
And two sets I really want: Midnight Tales & Elegance

Another of my favorite paper products is Stamperia. They have some beautiful 12x12 paper pads. Pricey but beautiful! They come in 10 double sided sheets with tags & ephemera in a few of the pages. I have about 8 different sets. I occasionally order from Peachy Cheap. You usually get a 6 x 8 paper pad, die cuts, sticker books, enamel dots, puffy stickers. I would order every one if I could, they’re all so cute.

I’m up for private swaps on any of the above crafts

I have a large assortment of stamps & dies. I have a monthly subscription to Coco & Reno. I use a Sizzix Big Shot, Side Kick & Cuttlebug for cutting.

I’m also a big fan of Dyan Reaveley & Dina Wakley. I’ve started adding a few of their products to my supplies. My favorites right now are the Dylusions spray inks. Though they are a bit messy sometimes, the colors are awesome!!

I have a Cricut expressions and a huge assortment of cartridges, a Cuttlebug and Sizzix Big Shot. I’m slowly building my cutting dies collection. I have been using the Big Shot more recently than my cricut. I’m always up for a swap of die cuts. Message me if interested & I can send a list of dies & cartridges I have for you to choose from.

I upload my swaps to be mailed to my Instagram account. deb_campbell04 look me up & send a friend request. It’s easier to put my pictures there than Flickr.

I will mail my swaps from my mailbox @the house if it is flat one stamp mail. If I feel like it is over one stamp I will take it & have postal clerk check & then mail from PO. RATINGS are important to all of us. You may get a message from me when I feel like it's been an ample amount of time to arrive to you. That way I can start on a resend if you have not received your swap. I try to rate as I open my swaps the day they arrive. If I haven't rated you, please contact me. It either means I got sidetracked or it hasn't arrived. I ask the same from you also.
If your swap meets the posted requirements and is super awesome I will rate you a 5 & a❤️. But please no extras. A note added to the swap is automatic ❤️! But please no extras. Thanks.
