Update 4/11/2024------I'm no longer swapping on swap-bot. There are too many bots on this site and I am concerned about internet security. You can message me or email me for private swapping.--------------

Hi! I'm Rivi, I'm a preschool teacher and writer in Berkeley, California (USA).

Mental Health Advocate. Neurodivergent (ADHD/Autism). Preschool Teacher. Jewish. Type 4 Enneagram. INFP. Avid Knitter. Pisces. Planner Lover. Ace/Demisexual. Ravenclaw. Creative Writer. Old Soul.

I'm super crafty and creative, and love writing and sending happy mail.

I always send out my swaps on time, so if you haven't received something from me, please let me know/reach out so I can resend.

If there is an issue with postage, message me and I will venmo or paypal any costs. I can also mail you USPS stamps to balance out the cost, and I will send more than what is owed when I do it that way (I have a lot of extra postage! I love to collect new and pretty stamps)

I'm not picky about my dislikes; if I get something I can't use I will just pass it along.

I love swapping and happy mail! I am always looking for new penpals and swappers.

I just started doing friendship sheets and friendship books. I will happily return any and all homers-- send them my way! (I know a lot of the swaps have a limit on how many homers you can send-- no limit for me)

I have a lot of excess of bags, books, and sheets! If you are looking to get started swapping friendship books, friendship sheets, label bags, sticker bags, memo bags, etc. message me and I will happily send you some of my excess.

Since I am a preschool teacher, I am happy to take any of those kiddie/reward stickers off your hands to use in my classroom. (I prefer regular decorative stickers for journaling, but I know a lot of people don't like the kiddie stickers and I am happy to receive them)
