Hello from the beautiful Southern California desert! My name is Carrie Jean, and it's really nice to meet you! :)
I'm 40-something and married (26 years together!), had a loveable, grumpy old man of a cat until recently (He passed 1/15/21), and teach.
I'm here to swap postcards and stickers, primarily. I am a total nerd for ALL stationery products, though, and I love fodder for collaging, especially pages from children's books and in languages other than English!

If anything goes wrong with my swap with you, please let me know so that I can make it up to you.
My mail is slow these days, like for so many of us, but if you don't receive something after a few weeks, please don't hesitate to message me. I will absolutely resend.
And if, per chance, I owe you postage for miscalculating the weight/size of a letter or postcard, I am happy to repay you with unused stamps or cash, as you'd prefer. We are all doing our best. :)
