Hi, my name is Shelby. Im 21 years old. I LOVE art and anything creative. I've dabbled with many mediums through the years including clay, charcoal, pencils, markers, sewing, pastels, beading, and others. My most recent obsession has been papercrafting and happy mail!!

Im a huge coffee fan and will end up drinking 3 or 4 large cups a day at least. I'm also very excited to start drinking and collecting tea because I have always loved the concept but only started liking the taste recently. I'm trying to build a collection so I'd love to receive any type! I guess I tend to like sweeter things :). I love receiving Clipper teas! I also Love receiving teas from other countries!

I love animals of all types! I've grown up around dogs so I have a soft spot for puppies (especially German Shepherds).

I have two dogs.

Ruby- a Golden Retriever and

Nacho- a Boston Terrier hound mix.

Ruby is the sweetest and always wants to be doing the right thing- she wont even go through an open door unless we say its ok. Nacho on the other hand opens doors himself and kicks people out of their own beds.

I'm dyslexic and apologize for any spelling mistakes I'm usually pretty good with catching them but just in case I apologize ahead of time.

If you have any questions or just want to talk feel free to reach out!

As I said before I absolutely love crafting. I've been collecting crafting supplies for 10+ years and am ecstatic to have an outlet that can use so much of my supplies! I finally have some amazing crafts to use my 100+ rolls of washi tape on!

Recently I've especially been obsessed with Junk Journaling and making embellishments. I have been obsessed with finding pieces of printed vellum, embossed paper, or really any interesting papers!

Some crafting supplies I love to receive is:

• Vintage paper

• Washi

• Paper

• Stickers

• Cute paper clips

• Wax seals (if anyone would ever like to swap message me!)

• Postcards

Im not very picky so I'm happy with anything but a few things I do tend to dislike are; Orange, Reward stickers, and political items.

Im a tv show addict. I have seen hundreds and if I really enjoy the show Ill re watch it over and over again while crafting. Some of the shows Ive loved in the past are:

• Supernatural

• The Walking Dead

• Kdramas

• Doctor Who

• Izombie

• Anime

• Gilmore Girls

• Once Upon a Time

• Teen Wolf

• Switched at Birth

  and hundreds of others. I do like some movies specifically ones that are made based on books such as Divergent, Harry Potter, City of Bones, and Maze Runner. However, because of my ADHD I find movies incredibly difficult to sit through. I can't figure out why movies are different from tv shows for me.

• I would greatly appreciate stickers, postcards, washi, or ephemera for holidays! Especially Valentines Day, St. Patricks Day, and Easter!

• Maggie Holmes ANYTHING!

For Kawaii swaps I love anything but am especially excited when I see Sentimental Circus and Tarepanda! I also would love to receive Sanrio memo sheets such as my melody, Cinnamoroll, and Little twin stars!

A few more of my passions are: Chinese food, Kpop (BTS, Got7) , Classic Rock, Ya book series, Traveling, Bullet Journalling, and Writing.

Love Love Love postcards! I collect all sorts and am fine with whatever you would like to send. I love and prefer collecting blank Postcards unstamped in envelopes but also love reading postcard with messages!

Not picky, always love receiving postcards they make my day!

Postcard wishlist: Deer, Elephant, Halloween, Fall, Moon, Galaxy, Coffee, Valentines, St. Patricks Day, Spring, and Forest-y!

If you don't receive from me or what you receive doesn't meet your standards please please please let me know I'm more than happy to send again!

Ratings: I absolutely love swapping and did so vigorously for many months. Unfortunately, completely out of the blue my mental and physical health took a decline in March 2019. I was so unprepared- I had half finished swaps and recently purchased supplies for st patricks day themed mail! Unfortunately, treatment and my health lead to me dropping out of school and not being able to continue any of my normal activities- including swap-bot. I'm thankful to be back and be able to swap again and am so thankful to the people who helped make it possible to return to swapping!
