About Me

9/17/24 I am in Florida for a week for my son's surgery. I will rate my swaps when I return home. Thank you for your patience.

I have 2 lovely children, a 4 year old and a 2 year old. I am married and we have 3 dogs as well. I enjoy letter writing, doing diamond painting, paint by number, building Lego kits, bowling, watching movies, going to amusement parks and fairs, adult coloring, mixed media art, crafts with my kids, and thrift shopping.

I love doing brain teasers, puzzles, math problems, logic puzzles, high school and college textbook questions, workbooks and similar things for fun. I love thinking and learning. My brain thrives when occupied.

I am into anything true crime related. If you have a local case you'd like to share, I'd love to hear about it.

I resell thrifted items on several platforms, mostly vintage things. I specialize in vintage baby clothes, so that is a big passion of mine. I have a lot of fun thrifting and reselling.

Some things I like are peacocks, 90's stuff, Nirvana, Post Malone, all types of stationery, stickers, grunge, neon colors, Beetlejuice, Goosebumps, Forest Gump, Mickey Mouse, under the sea theme, outer space theme, cute pens, colorful things, coloring small pictures or postcards, mixed media art and all things vintage.

For swaps: Postcards I enjoy are: handmade, any of my above interests, non-travel themed. If swap calls for travel themed I like bright colors and greetings from.

Things I'd love to receive are: stickers, address labels, swap cards, vintage ephemera, Mickey Mouse stuff for my son to use, seasonal ephemera for junk journaling (spring, summer, fall, winter themed), stationery and letter sets, cool pens, lined cute paper, memo sheets, letters, vintage unused postage stamps, a doodle from you, handmade or store bought things for journaling, squished pennies for my sister's collection.

I don't really care for washi samples, reward stickers, ribbon or twine, or friendship books.

I love receiving decorated envelopes!

Letter swaps: I love newsy, lengthy letters about your day, hearing about interesting things that make you YOU and seeing what things we may have in common. If you aren't into writing long letters, no worries, I love EVERY letter I receive.

Comment: Thanks! Diamond painting looks so nice, but definitely way outside of my skillset, haha - I'm more of a paint-by-numbers person :D

Comment: Hi there. I received your swap today or was it yesterday? 🤕? Anyway we wrote about the same crime. I totally agree with you. The sadistic group of evil people who committed did not receive the punishment they deserved. I really liked the way you put the story together. Thank you. ❤️ 💜 Hesrt

Comment: Hey, thank you for the journal and sharing a bit of your life with me! I hope things get better soon with your son's health. And I have to say, I felt that when you mentioned the kids fighting.... Mine are 8 1/2 years apart and still quarrel, too! I enjoyed what I've gotten to see of your artwork so far, and will have more time once the 2 year old goes to bed.
