***3/18/24 - started Keto. Please don't send anything that will tempt me to fall off the wagon. I'm easily swayed to eat carbs and sweets LOL!

My Wiccan rear-end has been prancing this planet for a glorious 33 years. I am the mom to a very energetic little girl and I live in a small town in Central Pennsylvania. I work full-time in the finance office at one of the top-10 university in the US, and I'm also a full-time published author. Writing and crafts are my passion.

PEN PALS

I prefer hand-written letters over typed, feels more personal. Currently, I have 27 pen pals, but we all write at our own pace. I understand people have lives, but I also don't want to wait 5 months to get a reply. I always hand-make my own envies and include things like washi samples, paper cutouts, crafts, drawings, etc.

DISLIKES:

I won’t give a heart for ATCs that are just sticker slapped. Not a fan.

RATINGS:

As long as the craft was received on time and doesn't look like it was just thrown together, I'll rate well. If you go above and beyond and gear the craft toward something listed in my favorites - I give a heart.

SWAP SENT:

I mark my swap as sent once it's been dropped in the mailbox at the PO or handed to the PO attendant if anything above a regular stamp is needed for postage. PLEASE contact me if you don't receive a swap. I don't flake and want to make it right in the event something gets lost.
