Hey everyone! I'm back after taking some time off to focus on my mental health. Feeling much better now and excited to start swapping and being penpals again! I've reached out to the people who recently rated me 1, and I hope we can resolve any issues. Thanks for your understanding! ♡

Hi, I'm Ali. I'm a 31-year-old, neurospicy (Autistic & ADHD) individual. I live with my wonderful partner and our adorable Yorkie pup in a state of bliss surrounded by geese. I love watching too much TV, reading past my bedtime, and have an immense fondness for food. I'm scared of almost everything, but I scream with joy when I see a dog and am deeply in love with Halloween. Given the chance, I will always choose the colored pink option.

I am dyslexic. I find it hard to read small handwriting, especially cursive. Please be mindful when writing your notes or letters! I'd hate to not be able to read your stuff.

Reading is my passion. I absolutely love everything about it. I manage to read 100+ books a year. My favorite genres include horror, psychological thrillers (the more shocking twists, the better), and dystopian sci-fi. I also enjoy contemporary fiction, LGBTQIA+ stories, and young adult novels. I'm always eager to discover new books to add to my TBR, so feel free to send me your recommendations! Bonus points if the book left you in shock, feeling uneasy, or deeply emotional.

Books read in June:

The Return of Ellie Black - Emiko Jean

One Perfect Couple - Ruth Ware

Diavola - Jennifer Thorne

She's Not Sorry - Mary Kubica

Home is Where the Bodies Are - Jeneva Rose

Darling Girls - Sally Hepworth

The Only One Left - Riley Sager

Currently Reading: Red - Annie Cardi

Tuck ins: If you're not sure what to send my way, I love stickers (no kiddy, reward, or puffy - alphabet is fine!), especially from Pipsticks and Stickii Club. Also, I'm into interesting notecards & postcards, washi tape samples, Happy Planner Goodies (none of their stuff with quotes; fitness, daily activities, etc), scrapbook paper, charms, greeting cards, & bookmarks.

When it comes to ratings, I usually open my mail a couple of days after receiving it. I tend to rate twice a week when I gather all my mail, find a quiet spot, and open it. Due to my ADHD, if I were to open it the same day I might get distracted and forget about it. I appreciate your patience when it comes to receiving ratings from me. I assure you that I will rate everyone. If I haven't received something from you, I will contact you before giving a low rating. Just to let you know, I'm a bit behind on my ratings as of 07/06!

Writing prompts if you're not sure what to write! What song are you currently obsessed with? How is today's weather making you feel? What made you smile today? What is on today's menu?

I am always looking for something new to watch while eating dinner or working on swaps. I have most streaming services so feel free to suggest movies or shows!

I do not celebrate Easter (bunny stuff is okay, but nothing religious), 4th of July, Columbus Day, St. Patrick's Day, or Thanksgiving. Please refrain from sending me anything related to these occasions.

Lately, I have been receiving mail that does not meet happy mail expectations. While I don't require an elaborate art project, I do appreciate a personalized touch such as a note or stickers on the envelope. It's disheartening to receive swaps that seem hastily put together for an easy rating.

While I am open to learning about different religions, I prefer not to receive Christian or Catholic items. If you want to share items related to your religion for educational purposes without attempting to convert me, I have no issue with that.

Please be mindful of certain scents such as cigarette smoke and essential oils due to my chronic migraines. If these scents are present in the swap, I may have to discard it or air it out. I am not interested in purchasing Young Living essential oils.

Thank you for your understanding.

Comment: Thank you for the card and all the extras but I did have to pay 50 cents because it didn't have enough postage
Response: I'm really sorry about that. I always weigh my envelopes before sending them out, and none of them exceeded 2 ounces. So, I added one stamp plus an extra ounce stamp to be safe. If I'm not mistaken, at least.

Hey Alicia! I sent your stitch swap 2 days ago but forgot to mark it sent till today. Just wanted to give you a heads up it’s already on its way!

Trevismom on Oct 9, 2021:

Please disregard. I'm trying to get caught up.

Trevismom on Oct 9, 2021:

I think I may have messed up this swap. Please let me know when (if) you receive your halloween washi tapes. So sorry if you don't receive them soon I will resend. We had a family emergency.
