ABOUT ME & SWAPPING

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”- **10/26/23 I don’t think I’ll be participating in this website anymore. I’m not sure how long it’s been since I was active. I definitely enjoyed it when I was active. I’ll be removing myself from groups and will keep my profile up. I actually consider it a person archive and hope it stays up despite inactivity. For my records the groups I removed myself from:

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

I'm 36 and live in Olympia, WA; moved here in February '15 from Ohio. I suppose it's worth mentioning that I was recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. I also have chronic pain, fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, and mismanaged (not my fault) hypothyroidism so I often don't feel very well. Well, most everything is not managed because I am poor and have crappy insurance. But I try to make the most of it.

I enjoy snail mailing, postcrossing, spending time with dogs, watching tv and movies, listening to music, singing in community choirs, Zumba & working out, hiking, gardening, and much more. COVID-days, Zumba is online and no choir.

::CRAFTS BUCKET LIST::

  • making zines
  • brush lettering
  • making a junk journal
  • water colors
  • collage
  • loom knit socks and gloves/mittens
  • needle felting

::CURRENT DABBLES::

  • exploring teas.. So far my faves are (specifics): Pickwick Winter's Glow, Private Selection sweet cinnamon spice herbal tea, Salada green tea pineapple mango, twinnings chai, marketspice strawberry and cream, peach teas, BIGELOW WHITE CHOCOLATE OBSESSION (don't think this is sold anywhere, but it's like my favorite of the 2 bags I've ever enjoyed). Prefer flavored teas to plain teas.. fruit, spiced, sweet, caffeine and herbal, spicy or well-favored black teas (so it's not overly bitter).
  • working on my mental & physical health as I have many chronic illnesses.
  • loom knitting

ABOUT SWAPPING

  • I'm a rule follower
  • not only do I like looking at profiles to see how I can tailor what I send, but I also like to look out how other fill out their profiles. So I sometimes glean from others' on wording because I'm not concise and like theirs.
  • I consider swapping a contract, and take pride in my ratings & good standing with swap-bot.
    • I have never flaked. Please message me if for some reason you have not received something from me before you rate, so I can make it right.
  • When I mail my swaps that generally do not need to be handled by the PO, I will put them in my outgoing mailbox. So, the postmark will be placed the next day after I have mailed it. As soon as I drop the swap in the mailbox I mark send. So the postmark doesn't match with my "sent by" date.
  • I take swapping seriously, and consider it a job or contract. I send something that I would like receive & generallly go above and beyond. If I find something I receive extra special or something I really like, I will rate a heart.

PROBLEM SWAPPERS

@Barbiegosia HYGGELICIOUS COZY SWAP - she never rated or returned messages from me.

@Sunflotea APRIL TEA SWAP - she never rated or returned/read messages from me.

@IsbellSoul STATIONERY SWAP USA HOSTED BY @dalbright - swapper sent notebook paper. Her profile stated she had no stationery as well. Sent message to her and its remained unread since. Rated her a 3. ANGELED BY HOST :)

Themes I like

  • illustrations
  • water colored paper illustration, like watercolor-looking pictures and/or along with black drawings atop. Swoon over this!
  • illistrative texture on paper..like needle felt animals embroidery on a sticker. I swoon over that!
  • Fruit, Strawberries, Florals/flowers, Cacti, Plants, Ferns, etc., Vintage Botanical.
  • Wonderland or anything by Paperchase
  • Korean/Japanese
  • Indian (as in India)
  • postage stamp/mail (theme)
  • Stars, Galaxy/northern lights
  • Winnie the Pooh & friends, old school
  • Liberty of London
  • Paisley
  • Peter Rabbit & Friends
  • realistic or cutesy Alpacas, Llamas, Donkeys, Polar Bears, Zebras, Giraffes, Reindeer, Woodland Creatures, Peacocks, Bambi, Baby Deer, Dogs.

Wishlist

::ONGOING::

  • mail art kit
  • tea
  • things from other countries or where you live, not necessarily things that have your country/state name..more like cultural items or stickers from where you're from. or if you have other stationery or odds and ends from other countries. (hope that made sense!)
  • any item in the theme section above
  • made in the USA dog treats
  • unused US forever stamps, also mint older stamps, or international (Us) postage stamps.
  • target, amazon, michael's gift cards, Etsy
  • unique magnets
  • Cute Salt & Pepper Shakers

Favorite Crafts

Most of these I haven't done in a long time, but I'd still enjoy them.

  • Photography
  • acrylic painting
  • gelli plate printing
  • embroidery
  • paper crafting snail mail items
  • collage
  • latch hooking
  • coloring
  • sticker slapping

Dislikes

Things I have no use for AND dislikes:

  • paper scraps without a purpose. I have a lot of cardstock scrapbook paper scraps. Cut out collage images are ok, though. You can always message me if you're unsure.,
  • recipe cards ,
  • dollar store or dollar section sticky paper pads (they never stick for me.),
  • Buttons. ,
  • Ribbon. ,
  • Makeup. ,
  • Lipstick. ,
  • Things that smell of smoke. ,
  • Bracelets.,
  • Political Items. ,
  • Religious Items. ,
  • Books.,
  • Anything racist or hateful.
  • Dark Themed Items. ,
  • Skulls.
  • Broken things.
  • Junk Mail.
  • Clowns.
  • Scary/Horror movies and other things.
  • Bugs (real or pictures). butterflies, dragonflies, lady bugs, caterpillars, bees, etc are OK. Hate spiders, and certain beetle type bugs.
  • Homemade Food Items.
  • Face care items that contain fragrance/parfum and lanolin.
  • Dolls, spiders, certain bugs..I'm sorry they creep me out. However, I like Matryoshka nesting dolls or other dolls that do NOT look realistic.
  • Reward/Teacher stickers.
  • Holiday items or stickers on non-holidays..Though I don't mind holiday stickers on or around current holidays. ,
  • Dollar Store paper and plastic crap.
  • Good 'n' Plenty or black licorice candy, licorice/anise tea.
  • Jewelry that is not nickel free.
  • Plain colored pens like blue black red or freebie pens.

If you send me something I don't like I will not lower your rating unless it does not meet the swap guidelines. I will give it to someone else.
