A Personal Request...

If you are sending mail art, please do not use packing/scotch/cello tape. You created a piece of art, please don't destroy it with tape. :-) It will make it through the mail system fine and it will have a much longer life. Thank you! :-)

A Little Bit About Me...

• I like randomness
• I'm open minded, opinionated, and hard to offend.
• I enjoy everyone's individual outlook on the world.
• If I could spend my life staring at the stars, I would.
• I enjoy learning and creating art, but haven't settled on any one particular thing.
• My current projects are mainly photography, paper, and bead related.
• I need to take the time for myself to put together my travel journal.

My Shinies...

I've been known to be eclectic and have varying things that I collect, enjoy, and use. Some art related, some not so much. This list is in no way complete.

• Mail Art - postcards, envelopes
• Postage Stamps - little works of art
• Glass - figures, objects, beads, paper weights
• Marbles
• Paper currency and coins
• Recipes - those that you personally love or are every day family favorites
• Swizzle Sticks
• Dragonflies
• Fantasy - Dragons / Castles / Faeries
• Being barefoot
• Butterflies
• Plants, flowers, trees.
• Rubber stamps (hand carved... or not)
• Lego Blocks - must build a wall so I can knock it down :-)
• Tim Burton and pretty much anything he's involved in
• Small Things - Neat, Cute, Weird, and/or Off the Wall Items
• Quotes, Poetry
• Game money and game pieces
• Used gift cards
• Postcards (all kinds)
• Geocaching - Good excuse to get outdoors and be geeky
• Celestial objects, photos
• The beach - I have a small collection of sand from around the world
• Color!
• Strawberries. :-)
• Playing in the rain
• Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis
• Skeleton keys
• Personal notes, even short ones that relate to your day or your hopes and dreams. Maybe a favorite memory.

Preferences...

Please consider that my list above is just a rough draft. I enjoy almost everything. If you have something you're good at or something you like, chances are I'll enjoy it, too. :-) Don't worry about whether it's good, it's perfect! :-)

Postage - When you are sending swaps, if it all possible, it would be fantastic if you use actual stamps instead of the printed postage; if you receive packages and just throw away the stamps, feel free to cut them off and include them. :-)

Please avoid sending food or teas in packages, as there are many things I just cannot have.

Wish List...

I would love it if you are able to use one (or more) of the new Planetary, Pluto, or The Moon stamps from the USPS on envelopes you send. I would like to put a used set together and would appreciate your help! :-)
