I have loved to penpal since I was about 12 years old. I am always up to accepting a new penpal, but I have a few requirements to keep us from wasting our time.

• Must be at least 25+

• Must write first

• Must be looking for a long-term penpal relationship, not just a few letters here and there.

And that's it! :)

I DO NOT LIKE FLAKERS. IT IS STEALING. Therefore, I do not flake. If you have not received something from me, let me know. My post office is sometimes quite slow. Also, I always rate when I receive, so PLEASE do me the same courtesy.

I absolutely love collecting and hoarding craft/scrapbooking/journaling/ATC/mail art/mixed media supplies! I love it when people send me their leftover supplies, no matter what it is. One person's trash is another person's treasure!

Although I love crafting, I'm a bit of an amateur (or at least I think I am). My current focus is mail art.

I only dislike receiving a few things -

• Items featuring cats (except for Halloween black cats, they're okay)
• The color yellow (like neon yellow, pastel is okay)
• Items geared towards younger kids (I don't need anymore kid-themed stickers, please)
• Patriotic themes
• Teacher/Reward stickers
• Foods/candies (lots of allergies)
• Masculine items
