3/22/23 Surgery was postponed until 3/29/23 due to me having pleurisy. Like I really needed something else! Lol

3/3/23 I just found out I have to have rotator cuff repair surgery on 3/22/23. After the surgery I can't write much or move my arm for 6 weeks so if I don't rate a swap please be patient with me. I will rate as soon as I can function again. I will be staying away from home for the 6 week+ period.

I have 2 lovely children, an almost 3 year old and a 10 month old. I am married and we have 4 dogs as well. I enjoy letter writing, doing diamond art, bowling, watching movies, going to amusement parks and fairs, adult coloring, mixed media art, crafts with my kids, and thrifting.

I love doing brain teasers, puzzles, math problems, logic puzzles, high school and college textbook questions, workbooks and similar things for fun. I love thinking and learning. My brain thrives when occupied.

I am into anything true crime related. If you have a local case you'd like to share, I'd love to hear about it.

I resell thrifted items on several platforms, mostly vintage things. I specialize in vintage baby clothes, so that is a big passion of mine. I have a lot of fun thrifting and reselling.

Some things I like are peacocks, 90's stuff, Nirvana, Post Malone, all types of stationery, stickers, grunge, neon colors, Beetlejuice, Goosebumps, Forest Gump, Mickey Mouse, under the sea theme, outer space theme, cute pens, colorful things, coloring small pictures or postcards, mixed media art and all things vintage.

For swaps: Postcards I enjoy are: handmade, any of my above interests, non-travel themed. If swap calls for travel themed I like bright colors and greetings from.

Things I'd love to receive are: stickers, address labels, swap cards, vintage ephemera, Mickey Mouse stuff for my son to use, seasonal ephemera for junk journaling (spring, summer, fall, winter themed), stationery and letter sets, cool pens, lined cute paper, memo sheets, letters, vintage unused postage stamps, a doodle from you, handmade or store bought things for journaling, squished pennies for my sister's collection.

I don't really care for washi samples, reward stickers, ribbon or twine, or friendship books.

I love receiving decorated envelopes!

Letter swaps: I love newsy, lengthy letters about your day, hearing about interesting things that make you YOU and seeing what things we may have in common. If you aren't into writing long letters, no worries, I love EVERY letter I receive.
