I'm always up for private swaps of different kinds! Send me a message if you're interested! :) (Newbies and people with recent 1s/3s excluded, sorry)

 
Hi there! I'm Jen, a 28 year-old programmer and dachshund mom.

I enjoy nature, reading, series and movies. I'm quite an artsy person; I love watercolors, calligraphy, journaling, snail mail, graphic design, crochetting, knitting and sewing. Moreover, I practice mindfulness and meditation, sing and take a great interest in psychology.

I collect tickets (public transport, movies, theatre, etc.) and shaped paper clips.

I am obsessed with Batman & Wonder Woman! Even though I absolutely love succulents & cacti, I already have plenty of craft supplies of those. Animals I like are foxes, sloths, red pandas, narwhals, axolotls and bears. I also like the Moomins, Krteček (The Little Mole) and Sailor Moon a lot. Flowers are always a pretty thing, especially poppies, lavender and hydrangea. Outer space and celestial is one of my favorite themes. When it comes to crafts I love anything glitter, floral, pastel, or neon. My favorite colors in particular are dusky pink, royal blue and mint; a huge sucker for rose gold and holographic too. I enjoy die cuts, stickers, and washi samples.

I'm a (baby) astrology witch, so I enjoy receiving things such as dried flowers, herbs and plants, crystals, essential oils, candles, incense (sticks, sage, frankincense, etc.), pictures/paintings/illustrations of the Moon (phases), zodiac and astrology things (🌞 Libra, 🌜 Aquarius, ⬆️ Leo), ritual descriptions, tarot/oracle cards, and so on.

I definitely enjoy selfmade things! So feel free to share some of your art with me! :)

Basically I love YA, magical realism and dystopian literature. Feel free to recommend any books you love! I'm always looking for a good read :)

I absolutely love creating, and receiving your creations. Share your art with me! No matter which medium, no matter if you're a beginner or experienced, it would make my day! Something I love is to create color-themed mail (everything in one color/hue). But in general, I love to come up with something that fits the receiver's preferences. I just want to spread love and make people happy.
