Autumn5

Hi there!

I'm new to Swap-Bot but we've been doing Postcrossing as a family and a friend told us about this site recently - I've done swaps with groups before and I'm looking forward to jumping in here. I love having fun mail waiting for me and sending a little love to others!

If you haven't received something from me or there's a problem, please let me know before rating and I'll gladly make it right. If you're having trouble with something you're sending to me send me a note about that too - life happens and I totally get it. Let's make sure this is a good experience for everyone :)

Handmade or storebought items are both welcome and appreciated!

Things I love

• I homeschool my three kids and we love learning together about new places - we'd love to hear about where you live, your favorite holidays and family traditions, landmarks or animals in your area... whatever you'd like to share :)

• libraries - we love our local libraries and I love finding good picture books (you can never be too old for them!)

• autumn leaves

• flowers, especially forget-me-nots and wildflowers

• the ocean

• tattoos

• family game nights

• cozy blankets

• natural, fair-trade, cruelty-free items

• science

• people being true to themselves

• candles

• rainbows

• the moon

• seasons and cycles of the earth

• birds, especially bluebirds and robins

• the colors blue and green

• dragons and fairies

• sunrises

• movies: Tangled, Away We Go, Kiki's Delivery Service

• tv shows: The Good Place, Black-ish, Brooklyn 99, Steven Universe, One Day at a Time, New Girl, Parks and Rec, Galavant

• people who show kindness and work to make the world more fair and gentle for other people

• I love to create things - art (drawing/coloring with pens, colored pencils, markers, and crayons), music, stories, poetry... being creative is very therapeutic for me and everything else goes better for my mental health if I make that a priority. I go to art therapy a couple times a month, and try to make time as often as I can to do something creative, whether that's hands on projects with my kids to go along with their school work or taking some time to make something on my own.

• I have picky taste in music but I like to sing and harmonize. I generally prefer soft acoustic sounds with slow, rich lyrics and intricate harmonies.

No thank you

Things I do NOT have any use/desire for

• anything violent/scary/creepy/gory

• antique or vintage items

• cosmetics, perfumes, or lotions

• food items - we have multiple allergies

• anything religious

• country/Americana themed items

• sewing supplies

• advertisements or political items

Thank you very much and Happy Swapping!
