I vow to try my best to not only send on time but also rate and keep up lines of communication.

I'm not super concerned if a swap being sent to me is a day or two late. Later than that please communicate with me. I am very understanding to people who are honest. I have zero tolerance for the dishonest.

I never expect extras. Just put your heart into your art. :)

BTW rating 5, no comment is dead rude. Someone created something for you. At least have the class to say 'thank you'.

I feel like I've tried just about every craft out there at one point or another. I can't knit or crochet, and I never quite took to sewing. Paper is primarily my thing. I love paper crafts and drawing.

I have fully embraced the adult coloring craze. I was coloring before it was cool! Check out the link to my website(blog) where I regularly post completed pages.

I love pretty much all things related to nature and science. I'm obsessed with cats. I love to make seasonal decorations with which to decorate my house. I spend most of the year waiting for Halloween. My fandoms are Harry Potter, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Disney. I watch a lot of animated movies.

I'm not actively collecting postcards anymore. The collection was getting out of hand. That doesn't mean I won't sign up for swaps from time to time I have so many to share. I've decided to leave this list up to give people a general idea of the things I like

What I like:

*subversive & weird

*art and illustration

*book covers/ reading

*flowers and plants (especially wildflowers, violets are a favorite)

*nature and nature scenery

*fall

*CATS

*animals (especially unusual animals, frogs, CATS, foxes, insects, sea life... please no dogs)

*birds (OWLS, crows/ravens, songbirds, penguins. ostrich and kiwi)

*weather (lightning,rain, rainbow,snow, etc.)

*Halloween

• food and drink and food production/ agriculture (wineries, etc.)

*Japan

*cute/kawaii

*space

*caves

*vintage of any of the above topics

What I don't like:

• Dogs

• buildings

*ads cards unless it is really cool

• I prefer not to receive touristy cards

I'm still happy with postcards from the following artists/ postcard books

Charlie Harper

Edward Gorey

The art of Instruction: 100 postcards from vintage educational charts

I do collect commemorative stamps and use the duplicates for art projects. It really makes my day when people use cool stamps to send their mail! An envelope with a plain old flag stamp on it is a lost opportunity! The next time you buy stamps go to the post office and take a look at all the beautiful choices.

I like nicely made homemade postcards, which I consider a form of mail art. I think it's a shame most people here seem to hate them.
