Hello friends!

I’m an introverted 23 year old passing away the time out here in the Midwest. Barista by day, crafter by afternoon, & in bed by 9. I am pagan and believe in the magick of the earth. I work full time as a barista, and I love the coffee industry! If I’m not at work you’ll find me behind a book, reading tarot, playing a video game, or crafting for my penpals. You can see a little bit of what I craft on my Instagram, @ sincerelyroe

My favorite colors are purple and pink, but I also love neutrals! I love most themes, as my mood is constantly changing. My favorite themes are vintage, botanical, witchy, and celestial though!

I love all kinds of music, but especially indie or rock! My favorite artists and bands right now are Ingrid Michaelson, The Maine, and Young the Giant. My favorite song ever is “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas. I love getting new music recommendations, so please feel free to send me your favorite songs.

My favorite genres of books is YA & Fantasy. Like most people, I’ve read the Harry Potter series many times. I also love The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa, The Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas, & The Graceling series by Kristin Cashore. Other favorite include Divergent, Hunger Games, InkSpell, and Truthwitch.

I love art journaling, bullet journaling, watercolor painting, and I have recently tried taking up embroidery. When I’m crafting, I spend most of my time making things for my penpals or for swaps.

When I’m crafting, here are some things that I always love to have around and would be estatic if I received in a swap:

• Handmade Envelopes
• Small Goodie Bags
• Project Life Cards
• Scraps
• Washi Samples
• Diecuts
• Lace
• Twine
• Pretty Blank Labels for Addresses

It's also an immediate heart if you send me samples of your favorite tea in a swap that does not already require it! (Due to allergies please only send tea satchets. Thank you for understanding.)

I collect crystals, dried flowers, postcards, buttons, and stickers.

Like any modern day witchy girl, I love crystals. I love collecting and learning about the natural properties of each one.

I love love love dried flowers, and use them in all parts of my craft/crafting. I particularly love dried lavender or leaves, and I am allergic to roses.

I love postcards with animals or art the most, but I also enjoy pretty landscapes. My wall by my craft corner is filled with postcards!

I love love buttons of all shapes and colors!

As for stickers, I love all kinds of them! I especially love floral stickers, and stickers that look like watercolor!

I’m also obsessed with shaped or embellished paperclips! Escpecially gold or rose gold ones!

If there is ever a problem with a swap you receive from me, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I always send on time and most of the time take a picture for proof. I am willing to resend if a swap hasn’t found it’s way to you!

With all this said, something important to remember about me is that I want every swap to be fun. For me, I’m in it for the connection. It’s not about the extras or goodies. A handwritten note or something handmade will always mean the world to me.
