CaseyErin

My name is Casey. I am from a small town you'll never hear of, deep in the mountains of West Virginia. I have been married to a wonderful man for 9 years. He works hard in a coal mine everyday so I can stay at home with our babies. We have 3 beautiful children together: Our daughter is 9, our son is 7 and our baby boy is 3 years old. My children are the wonders of my world...

I am a Christian, a book addict, a good listener and an honest friend. I love to read, sew, cook, watch my favorite old movies, grow a garden in the summer and to have the music up and the windows down. I have kept a journal since I was big enough to write a sentence and I love penpaling. I am easy to talk to and very down to earth..... I like me. You will, too.

I love, love, love to write letters. Sitting down at my kitchen table in the quiet of the evening to write a friend is so relaxing for me. My letters are always hand written and I try and always use pretty stationary. Sometimes, I just feel like writing. Do you?

My Swaps

Swapping is very dear to my heart. It is without a doubt my favorite hobby and I have to say I love it. I take swapping seriously. It might make me a huge nerd, but it's me. With that being said, if there is ever a time when a swap of mine didn't make it to you, it's not because I didn't send. Sometimes things really do get lost in the mail. All you have to do is message me and I will resend or make it up to you the best I can. A lost swap is disappointing for everyone and it never has to be that way. Atleast not with me. All you gotta do is let me know. Thanks for reading.
