I have been a life long fan of snail mail and I absolutely love crafting cards and sending out things I would love to receive myself. I work at a newspaper in Indiana, Pennsylvania called the Indiana Gazette. I am 38 years old. I am looking for a meaningful but light-hearted exchange of mail box treasures with other creative people. I've always had an obsession with stationery, photography, stamp collecting, graphic design, scrapbooking and stickers. I also love rubber stamped images- I would love to receive any rubber stampings you can send!

I have a pet-project named "Sticker Monsters"... a pseudo-business where I make custom stickers... please feel free to ask me for customized stickers- I will happily oblige. :)

My favorite colors are red, green, gold and dusty pink. I like things that have a circular design. I love coquette styles and tattoo designs. My favorite animals are dogs and foxes, and I have a little petsitting business as a side hustle... I am constantly making new graphics for advertising it.

Some of my favorite artists are Andy Warhol, Mucha, Christian Lacroix, Keith Harring, Carravagio, Salvador Dali, Ansel Adams, and so many more. I also love "styles" like "coquette", "cottage-core", "strawberry", "kawaii", "Photorealism & Hyperrealism", "pop art", "surrealism", etc.

I also love everything Japanese. I adore cutesy little things, and as you can imagine, I collect kawii stationery. I love the culture in general and I hope to one day get to so there. Zen Buddhism has been an important influence and paradigm to me since I was very young.

I am a sucker for everything science fiction and space exploration. Despite my husband's constant teasing about how much of a nerd I am, I love Star Trek, Star Wars and Stargate. if you're like me, please feel free to recommend things I should watch. :)

Lastly, I fricken love plants. My apartment is home to at least 25 plants... although I've sorta lost count. I'm a sucker for white flowers and vibrant green leaves.

DISLIKES: butterflies, Christian religious, rainbow, rubber ducks, bad anime, Pokémon, "big eye" art work, unsolicited advice or preaching.
