UPDATE November 2023: USPS domestic mail will likely continue to be on the slow side and has been averaging 7-8 postal business days to/from here.
I like to send my swaps out EARLY within the first 1-2 postal business days, and likewise I rate within a day of receiving. If you are missing a swap or a rating from me, please let me know. I usually remember to take pictures of my swaps before sending, but will be happy to resend as needed.
Hi there! I'm Tracey (she, her) and I live in California. I am a crafter, reader, knitter, sewist, negligent gardener, amateur birder, and sender of postcards and friendly greetings. I also play the ukulele and dabble in watercolor. I really don't do all that much collage-y crafts (though I do appreciate the art that people here on s/b are so skilled at creating!), so I'd prefer not to receive a lot of scrappy paper ephemera bits--I am trying very hard to destash/not accumulate more clutter right now, but as many crafters know, this is an uphill battle. :)
I am unfortunately, despite my best/worst efforts, only fluent in English though I have managed to learn a little ASL. Estoy aprendiendo español--¡pero soy principiante extrema! Si quieres escribir en español, me encanta practicar.
I love plants, but have managed to kill a fair number of them, including so-called "foolproof" snake plants, pothos plants, ZZ plants and succulents, so I would not, in all fairness, call myself "a plant person."
I am definitely, however, a dog person, though I don't have any pets at the moment, and am partial to animals and nature.
Some books I have enjoyed:
I read a varied mix of nonfiction and fiction, graphic formats and e-audiobooks. I used to read a lot of teen and children's titles, but don't read them quite as much now that I have retired from my job as a children's/teen librarian, except when I need to take a break from the heavier nonfiction, which is more often these days.
In case it helps you, here are some things I wouldn't mind finding in the mailbox:
I'll do my best to pass on items that aren't my thing, but please do not send:

ABC USA ~ Letter D--ABC USA Group Swap
From: @marinda
Dolphin, Dragon, Duck/Doggie
ABC USA ~ Letter D <3 best wishes!
Thank you for the Bday wishes!
Hi Tracey! Thank you so much for the drawings, zine, ribbon, and extra goodies. All arrived in a beautifully decorated envelope. I absolutely LOVE it all. So happy to do this trade with you and I hope we swap again!
Got your zeens for the Zeens Tag and they are fantastic. I love the cute little pandemic Spoon zine and all the tiny photos inside. Did you draw the Gollum cartoons? You are talented. I also really like the Nancy Rourke bookmark and the very Canadiana (although it comes from California) envelope.
Thanks for the well wishing on my future implant.
Thanks so much for the angel in the LLU swap! I loved the Earth Day card you made, and was really excited by the bonus drawings - both the "Wheel of Fortune" card and French bulldog! :)
Thanks for hosting the Tree swap! Stay safe and healthy! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Hi Tracey--that was the cutest little reminder EVER, I love Cookie Monster! Thanks for getting in touch, this has been an unusually difficult month, and in fact some of my mail has been lost. Can I get something to you by Tuesday? --RJ
