Hello! I am 31 years old. I am married and we have a toddler son together. We also have a cat who was our first baby. I am very new to the pen pal/snail mail community, but I have always been so interested in it! I have become addicted to Happy Mail swaps and it is a huge hobby for me. I love paper crafting and making embellishments! Snail mail/ Happy mail is exciting to send and receive!

Stationery. Greeting cards. Stamps that are used or mint. Postcards. Journals. Coins from around the world and also bank notes. Bus/train tickets from around the world. Small envelopes. Small pressed flowers. Makeup, of course! Gelly roll pens. Fountain pens. Die-cuts. All art by Vincent van Gogh and Salvador Dali. Stickers! I really love anything that has to do with whales or octopuses. Tea bags from other countries. Stencils. My eye is always drawn to something with a nautical theme. Astronomy. Just cutesy stuff. I love vellum envelopes! Doilies are great. I am starting to get interested in junk journaling. I am also starting to scrapbook and I am enjoying that. I just got a Cricut Explore machine and I am already obsessed! And I love stamping. I am completely obsessed with Maggie Holmes and Crate Paper deisgns. My favorite color scheme at the moment is anything pastel.

Everything ever written by Chuck Palahniuk. Art books (especially about Vincent van Gogh). Celeste Ng. Neil Gaiman. Books about organization and happy living. Graphic novels and comic books. Harry Potter series. A Game of Thrones series. Night. Stephen King. Ernest Cline. Little Women.

Game of Thrones. West World. The Handmaid's Tale. True crime TV. Cooking shows.

Anything political. Advertisements. Coffee (I'm sorry! Caffeine makes me anxious). Anything super childish. Anything violent or having to do with gore. I really do not like snakes!

I am open to tea from anywhere, but I really cannot handle caffeine, so herbal teas are always a safe bet. Tea with unique packaging is great too.

I never flake. If you have yet to receive a swap from me, please e-mail me first and I will send out another one right away. I use the blue box to send post, so I have no clue what happens to some of my swaps after that.

I love paper crafts. I really enjoy making flip-books, envelope flip-books, loaded cards, hand making greeting cards, pocket letters, altered hoops, etc. I've only been paper crafting for about 6 months and I am getting better with each project!

I am taking an indefinite break from Swap-Bot. I have found a great community of friends on Instagram and will be only swapping there for the time being. Thanks.
