--7/10/23: I kindly request no address labels or anything else with my address. We are moving. Not super soon but I don't think I will be able to use up the ones I already have.--

My name is Melissa and I live in Wisconsin, USA. My life currently revolves around my child (ADHD and homeschooling, it's a lot), swapping, preparing to sell my house and move, gardening, and dreaming about the beach.

I've recently starting making my own postcards. I love doing this! I'm not big on clutter so I love that I can be artsy and crafty and then send it to someone else instead of wondering what to do with it.

You can see some of my postcards here - https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAxPiS

I'm very open and easy to please but here are my favorites if you would like an idea.

Themes:

I'm open because unexpected things can be inspiring but I do love - beach, tropical, summer, gardening, lemons & citrus.

Specific Wishes:

Used Stamps with a water theme (beaches, water creatures, etc), Used Stamps from rare countries, Tiny Sticky Notes, Small Sticky Notes & Papers, Unused Postcards, Washi Tape Samples, Stickers, Letter Sets for my Child, Tea

Things I Don't Want: Winter, Snow, Political, Inappropriate for Children.

I'm just as happy to get something for my family!

My daughter is 9 and is severely ADHD. I had to start homeschooling her due to this. She has 2 pen pals and does Postcrossing - this has helped her in so many ways! She loves using cute letter sets and LOTS of stickers. Her themes - cats, Kawaii, funny, Pokemon. If I ever do a bigger gift swap - she collects all things TY like beanie boos and babies.

My husband likes tea and international snacks. He wouldn't really use any paper items.

We have a 15 year old dog and a 3 year old cat.

I rate as soon as you I receive your mail. If I haven't rated you, I haven't received it. I wait a month from swap deadline before I start worrying about it.

I always send my swaps. Please communicate with me before rating down. :-)
