UPDATE 7/31/19 mailing out last week's swaps, just got back from vacation...sorry!!!!!!

I joined swap-bot January 2006!!! ✈ Over 10 years now oh my!

Please welcome my 3rd baby girl to the world born 8/10/15 little miss Parker Joy is here!

My daughter Zoe Autumn was born September 2011, it was the most beautiful experience of my life, a lot of hard work, labor is NO JOKE, but it went quickly, therefore, I was able to go all natural! I'm madly in love!

My heart is full again, Hazel May was born in the Spring 2014...watching these girls grow and learn is nothing short of a miracle...supercool!

I see myself as someone who is quirky, silly, smart, sassy, nurturing, considerate, opinionated,and open-minded... I definitely beat to the sound of my own drum...

✉ ✉ I have an odd obsession with the mail... It's true...I really, really like the mail, getting lovely postcards to packages gives me something to look forward to everyday! I love connecting intimately, yet anonymously...

I am always trying something new...I'm a diy kinda gal, i compost, i reuse...i mow my own lawn... i secretly want to be a burlesque dancer... I try to live, laugh and love everyday! I'm known to dance in my car like it's my stage!

I grew up going to thrift stores and tag sales and continue to love to search for that one special item... Obsessed with PYREX... hunting for it weekly...like it's a drug!

I love to decorate! I'm a homebody at heart!

*POSTCARDS! new and un-used would be great, I'm into postcrossing, and mailart, so I will always find a use for them. Generally, I prefer non touristy postcards, random things to places, and love them sent naked. I don't mind ad/free cards as long as it has something to do with one of my likes:
