March 2024: Taking a little break for swapping for now, will still see my messages! I'll be back this summer! (:

Hi there! My name is Gabi and I'm a preschool teacher in her early 20s. I came to swap-bot because I love sending and receiving happy mail! I just hope I can make someone's day with the things I send. I LOVE reading profiles. If you are my partner, I have probably gone through your profile at least 3 times -- If you see we have similar likes, I'd love to do a private swap ^^

About swaps from me: I put love into every swap I pack. I do use reused/recycled materials when packing my swaps, and I encourage you do the same for me! If my swap to you arrives damaged or hand sorted when it should have been machinable, message me and let me know! I know the post service can be tricky, I do my best to pack my envelopes flat, secure, and with enough postage so they can reach you quickly and safely. My local post office is small and has limited hours, I apologize for any delay that causes in postmarking! If there is ever a problem with a swap, please feel free to message me!

I'm a paper lover and collector. memos, washi, stickers, ephemera, I love love love! I love to journal so my paper gets good use (although I think I own more than I could ever finish) Thats why I adore pen-palling and swapping! Sharing my collection with you is so fun. to get an idea of my journaling style, check out my Pinterest! ^ As I'm sure many of you are, I'm the kind of person with "crafty hobby phases" Journaling is the only one that has stuck for a while, but I also have fun with: Making bead keychains/jewelry, toy and designer figure collecting, and going thrifting for vintage stickers and paper (:

Though I haven't added much to my collection recently, I do collect toys and figures, both nostalgic and new. When I stroll through antique stores, I love admiring the shelves of vintage strawberry shortcake dolls (although they are usually way out of my budget) I enjoy hunting for older treasures like care bears, retro barbies (in packaging) and treasure trolls! I'm currently hoping to find a 90's polly pocket compact, They are so cute! in terms of modern collectables, I currently am loving calico critters, "Num-Noms" (so sad they're discontinued!) and Japanese gashapon (: I enjoy mini things and love a good blind bag ♥
