UPDATE April/May 2024: I am considering fewer swaps as I try to get my space organized. Got to make the time to do the less fun stuff! I'll be checking in, but probably won't sign up for many swaps in the meantime.
USPS domestic mail has been taking 7-16 postal business days to/from here in recent months (and it's kind of a relief to take a break from that as well).
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, or if you get something fallen to pieces or has postage due, please let me know and I'll try to fix it right away! 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 espaΓ±ol--Β‘pero soy principiante extrema! Si quieres escribir en espaΓ±ol, 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.

I read a varied mix of nonfiction and fiction, graphic formats and e-audiobooks, with a few teen and children's titles. Some books I have recently enjoyed:
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:

Hi Tracey! I am your partner in the LLU: Happy Library Week (profile comment)π€ππswap! I love our library in Waterloo, IL - the staff is so nice and always helpful! I can find all the books, magazines, and audiobooks I want or can order them on-line for pick up! Our library has several book clubs with two being for adults and the others for youngsters who enjoy reading, wish that would have been around when I was a kid! Also they have baking pans, a microscope, large lawn game items, and other stuff that patrons can borrow for hobbies/family time! I just love that our library does so much to being fun to all ages! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
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! :)
Love the birthday wishes and yes we have tickets to go out and celebrate at the beach and aquarium :)
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
