Polkadotpapers

Hello!

Thanks for visiting my profile page.

My name is Cindy and I am located on the west coast of Canada. I am 50 years old and happily married with girl/boy twins.

I love everything craft related from book binding to art journaling to collages to ATCs. It makes me happy to create beautiful things for my pen pals and swap buddies.

I am very meticulous in everything I do. I like to take my time to get everything near perfect before sending it out.

Things I would love in swaps:

•vintage paper goods/ephemera

•botanical cut outs from illustrated books

•stickers (nothing kawaii or cute)

•old book pages, music pages, dictionary pages in different languages

•old ledger paper, receipts, cigarette cards, playing cards, bingo cards

•cut-outs from vintage magazines (especially of women's fashion and children)

•paper napkins for decoupaging

•vintage lace

•nature-themed items (birds, butterflies, mushrooms, etc)

•woodland and sea-themed items

•rubber stamps or rubber stamped items like labels, mic moc type stamped images

•vintage photos

•postage stamps

•whimical items such as anthropomorphic animals

•NOS (new old stock) items (bus tickets, ads, can labels etc)

Things I would prefer not to receive:

•no edible items

•no kawaii (eg. hello kitty, sanrio, disney, etc)

•no religious items or witchcraft items

•no photos (except if they are vintage)

•no washi samples (unless it's a washi swap)

Thanks for taking the time read my profile.

Please let me know if you are going to be late in sending out your swap to me and I will do the same. I believe honest communication is important in avoiding any disappointments or misunderstandings.

Have fun creating and I hope I can bring you joy in the swaps I create for you!
