Hello! Thanks for stopping by and for swapping! Here’s a little bit of info about me:

I love paper crafting. I especially like repurposing materials. It's fun to find unique uses for items to create something new and beautiful!

I have always enjoyed the art of letter-writing so I typically like to include a note/letter in every swap!

I'm responsible!

I will only take on what I can truly manage. I watch the dates carefully and send out mail as soon as I have reviewed my partner(s) profiles and create the swap... usually within a day of having partners assigned. It hasn't happened yet but - PLEASE - message me if you haven’t received my swap in the expected time frame. I will resend immediately and stay in touch to make certain you receive it!

My mail comes to a PO Box that I check every other day. Sometimes the good folks that sort the mail there are behind so it may take me an extra day or two to receive mail. I will confirm/rate mail the very same day I receive it. I so appreciate all of the efforts made to send me snail mail and operate by the Golden Rule for sure!

I enjoy watching Happy Mail videos on YouTube. A couple of channels inspire me: Vivian at the Paper Letter Blog (I enjoy watching her create and watching her open mail from her subscribers) and Johanna Clough for her junk journals and general aesthetic.

I love to watch documentaries of all kinds and have been fascinated with tiny houses - and miniatures in general! I think that began with my early interest in dollhouses and is now appealing for the minimalist and frugal living points of view. Less is more!
