I'm Elizabeth, 34, currently living in the very southern tip of Illinois, and very excited to climb out of my hermit hole to meet new swap friends! 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!

As for me, I identify as a stationery hoarder and love when you have random conversations about nothing in particular. It makes my life more interesting :)

Currently, I'm 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!

*Help me! I can't stop watching wax sealing ASMR videos on youtube!

*Hedgehogs

*Whales

*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!
