I have recently moved and I have realized I still have hundreds of FB, LB, Etc with my old address. If you see my old addresses on anything please update them to my new address: 236 Vydareny Dr. Battle Creek, MI 49017

Please: If at all possible use real stamps on your envelopes. The cooler the better. I collect stamps and always cut them off the envelopes. Sending extra used stamps always guarantees a heart!

Friendly request: I've seen some swaps lately for wizard of oz atcs. I don't do atcs but I would love some of these. If you'd like to trade them for something else or gift them to me (that will guarantee a heart) please let me know.

I am mom of 6 busy kids. I collect rubber ducks, smurfs, stamps, spoons, stickers, fun shaped paperclips, elongated pennies, miniature cartoon character pieces (like Disney characters) and friends. I love penpaling, reading, traveling, and games.

I love romance books. My favorites are the romantic suspense (Harlequin Intrigue or Harlequin Romantic Suspense), paranormal romance (especially vampires and wolf shifters), and historical romance.

I like NCIS and Big Bang Theory. I am a big fan of So You Think You Can Dance, although I don't care for most other reality shows. I do not watch much tv as I always seem to find better things to do.

I have tried most types of crafts. The only ones I don't care for are knitting and crochet. I'm not artistic, just crafty.

Lately I have not had time for many crafts. I tend to ignore my craft pile and just swap instead.

My husband is the most fantastic man in the world (Yes I know I'm biased)

He works very hard in an automotive parts factory making headlights.

He enjoys aircraft and sci-fi. He reads alot, mostly war adventure. He loves to play video games, mostly war adventure.

Here's a little about my kids. Please note if I am involved in a kids swap feel free to pick a kid. just let me know which kid to give it to. thanks.

Nico (age 25): He has Aspergers Syndrome. He loves legos and airplanes. He is obsessed with natural disasters (volcanos, tornados, earthquakes, etc)

Jayden (age 19): He loves knives and Pokemon. He likes video games.

Karlin (age 17): She likes to read and do any type of art. She has millions of hobbies including knitting, sewing, painting, making costumes, and customizing dolls. She loves marine life and anything to do with the ocean.

Chloe (age 17) She loves drawing. She is very talented and loves to draw on all mediums. She also love music (listening pop music and singing)

Cole (age 15): He suffers from ADHD and Social Anxiety. He especially likes anything military and almost everything he owns right now is camoflage. If it didn't start out that way it will be once he gets paint!!! He is really into Minecraft.

Abigail (age 12): She likes doing whatever her siblings are doing. She loves to play with miniature animals (like the little bitty rubber ones you can buy at the zoo). She loves music and art.

I am always willing to do private or one/one swaps. I swap stickers, stamps, friendship books, labelbags, any other kinds of "bags", postcards and many other things. If you'd like a swap just pm me.

Smurf figurines

Used Stamps- I am looking for US stamps that are between 20-44 cents (original value). I have realized my collection is missing alot from this time. I also collect stamps from around the world but tend to limit my collection to about 15 countries. I would love to get recent (2000 or newer) stamps from France, Canada, and Austrailia. The other countries I collect are: Belgium, England, Finland, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Lithuania, and Singapore. I prefer stamps 1970-current. I would love disney or smurf stamps from any country.

Stationery

postcards (not freebies please) My favorites are the humorous ones and the recipe ones.

Any rubber duck items

Elongated pennies: if you send duplicates that is also great because then I have an extra to swap. There is only one place in my town to buy them so it limits how often I can swap.

unusual music (not the stuff you hear on the radio) I love international music.

recipes

PLEASE NOTE: I do not drink tea and don't care to receive any. If you send tea I just end up sending it to some else so please just keep it.

****Stickers***** I love stickers. I do not like the puffy ones. I love the character ones, as I use them in my penpalling. My favorites are smurf, scoobydoo, wonder woman, strawberry shortcake, any disney, and garfield.

Please note that sometimes it takes me a little while to rate. I promise I will rate but it just might take me some time. Please be patient. If I have not received something I will pm you before rating. If you are curious if I received it you can pm me or just wait for the rating. Thanks for your patience.
