I'm Elizabeth, 33, currently living in the very southern tip of Illinois, and completely new to pen palling and swap-bot. I've been creative journaling for years without realizing that there was an entire community of people who love happy mail and swapping things just as much as I do! I hope to develop some pen pals here and maybe do some happy mail swaps in time :)

I'm a stationery hoarder and love when you have random conversations about nothing in particular.

I'm currently working in both an art journal and a vintage theme junk journal as well as several daily writing journals. I make my own stationery and really enjoy most paper crafts as well as some light watercolor painting and just a tiny bit of line drawing.

If anyone is interested in swapping letters or even just postcards let me know! I'm a huge introvert, but I love meeting new people from different cultures so I'm open to exchanges from anywhere and everywhere!

*Journaling: as previously stated, and I'm really interested in creative pen palling.

*Art: Your own, famous artworks, recommendations, tips and tricks ... really anything to do with it I would be glad for you to share with me!

*Traveling: Sometimes it doesn't have to be a physical trip. I've taken many great journeys through novels so send me your latest favorites :)

*Vintage things: I enjoy themed things, but I really love actual vintage items like old letters and tickets! I'm also into cottagecore recently for some reason.

*Nature/botanicals: I've got a flower press and love to use it!

*Photographs: I love to receive photographs of any kind, but especially polaroids. I don't know why they just tickle me pink!

*Films, music, and novels: All genres. Seriously...I can find something to like in just about all of them.

This is only here because I never want anyone to be anxious when they are picking something out to send to me. It is by no means the entire list of things I would like and if none of it matches your style or personal aesthetic don't worry! I would rather have something that is authentically you, than anything on this list! Send me something wacky and then tell me why! I'll love it!
