My name is Abby and I'm a bored artist watching my twenties fade away working a desk job. Please spice up my life with some happy mail!

I'm an avid reader, anywhere from 60-100 books a year. I love to curl up with my fluffy Maine Coon cat named Chowder and read until we both pass out. I also have a bratty black cat named Jafar who can turn you to stone with his glare.

I love collecting washi tape. I have a ginormous collection of rare and weird washi tapes & would love to share and swap unique samples, hit me up for a private swap if that sounds good to you :)

Goodies- Art (prints or originals), stickers, washi samples, postal stamps (used or unused), ephemera of any kind, stamped images, handmade envelopes.

Themes/ Aesthetic- All shades of green, bright colors, watercolors, abstract patterns, nature/botanical, creepy, goth, halloween, skeletons, plague doctors, bizarre/surreal, sweary or crass, butts/nudes, 420, cityscapes, graffiti, grunge, landscapes, rain, daily life/monotony, outer space (especially Saturn- my swapbot namesake!)

Animals- Cats, alpacas, insects, raccoons, skunks, pandas, birds (crows, ravens, owls, seagulls, parrots) field guide illustrations.

Rare animals like Tapirs! Okapis! Axolotls! Capybaras! Sloths! Walruses! Quokkas! Lemurs! Pufferfish! I'm not picky when it comes to animals...
