Favorite Crafts

I enjoy swapping ATCs, inchies, stickers, mapcards. bookmarks, postage stamps, FBs, and postcards. I like writing to penpals from around the world.

I will send you whatever you would like to receive in exchange for U.S. and worldwide mint and used postage stamps. I have collected postage stamps, cinderellas, cachets, and first day covers since I was 8 years old.

Please send little swap cards, address labels, pretty papers, notecards, or memo sheets, I will accept and send on international excess FBs, slams, sticker bags and postage stamp bags. I welcome any fabric scraps you send for my ongoing crazy quilt

I would like to thank everyone who helped me collect mapcards of the 50 United States. I am still seeking the last one for my album and that would be a postcard of Idaho.

I try to recycle, recreate, reinvent, repurpose, and reuse as much as possible in my art and in daily living.

Just send me a message about whatever private swaps you would like to try

Thank you!

Hey. Just realised after receiving 2 Shakespeare quote postcards that I didn't know who were from, that I didn't put my name on any of mine either. Oops! Just to let you know that if you received one from Ireland, that was me!!!

melusina on Mar 11, 2010:

Thanks so much, Barbara, for the postcards from the Middle East! I already know where to mail the one with camels on it. =smile=
