About Me

Hi! I'm Jennifer, 48, and I live in Seattle, Washington. I've always loved paper, handwritten letters, and making things. Lately, I've gotten really into junk journaling, Sisterhood of the Traveling Journal (SOTTJ), and happy mail swaps.

I'm married with two kids and a dog. I work in nonprofit fundraising, and outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, exploring new places, drinking coffee, and collecting more craft supplies than I probably need.

I've lived in Washington my whole life and love the Pacific Northwest. I'm especially drawn to small towns, local shops, markets, and places with a little personality. When I travel, I love finding things that are unique to the area.

Things I Love

This is inspiration, not a checklist! Part of the fun of swapping is discovering things I wouldn't necessarily pick out for myself.

🌿 Nature, flowers, trees & the Pacific Northwest ✂️ Junk journaling, collage & paper crafts 💌 Happy mail & handwritten notes ✨ Stickers, washi, interesting papers & ephemera 🎶 Music, especially Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan & Brandi Carlile ☕ Coffee 🏠 Cozy, quirky, colorful & cheerful things 💐 Unused postcards with floral, nature, art & funny designs 🛍️ Interesting finds from local shops & markets 🤣 Funny stickers, puns & a little sarcasm 💗 Hearts, stars, whimsical illustrations & nostalgic designs

Not Really My Thing

A few themes I'd prefer not to receive:

NO PLANNER STICKERS (appointments, reminders, dates, checklists, etc.) Blank tourist postcards featuring cities or landmarks Holidays- Halloween, Christmas, etc. Anime Star Wars Superheroes Religious quotes or materials Political items

For My Journals

I especially love receiving things I can use in my journals: stickers, tags, little envelopes, book pages, handmade pieces, washi samples, and other fun finds.

I love texture, layers, pockets, flaps, tags, and interactive elements. Handmade pieces are always welcome! I enjoy seeing other people's creativity, and nothing needs to be perfect or professionally made.

I'm also a big fan of happy mail, so I love receiving unused postcards that I can send to others
