About Me

I'm 23 and live in California just outside of San Francisco. I work at a movie theater. I love hiding out in the projection room and spying on the customers watching the movie down below.

I adore secrets, hidden things, anything with false bottoms or tiny compartments, etc.

I really love earth tones; forest or olive greens, dark reds, greys, and browns

I would really be so thrilled to receive anything handmade like a plushy or pillow!! (from a non smoking household though please)

you'd often find me sitting in my car on my lunch break reading a book or letters and writing postcards. Anything I can plug into a USB in my car would be fun- or something car related!

i enjoy wearing plaid anything and yellow dresses

I am an animal enthusiast! I completely adore all animals and have some cats and a smallish dog.

I'm happy when I'm on adventures, hiking, picnicking, playing scrabble, geocaching, letterboxing, reading, camping, or near water (lakes, rivers, oceans, creeks, anything)

I Collect:

Wheat pennies, indian head pennies, coins and other metal objects crushed on the train tracks, pennies squashed with an imprint in those machines at zoos and things.

-Strange picture frames (any sizes)

-TROLLS! also known as treasure trolls (yes, the kind with the brightly colored poof hair.)

-Cassette tapes especially ones that are colorful (either local bands, mix tapes, or blank tapes)

-Either size Medium Men's OR XS/Small Women's T-shirt with your country or state name on it.

-Anything to do with the wild west or trains

-Zines

-postcards! the more writing you've put on them the better :)

Would Love To Receive In Swaps

-Any of the above things I collect, take a peek!

-Sentimental Circus anything :)

-books (used welcome)

-Sunglasses, especially cheapo Ray Ban style or any funky bright glasses

-Plushies/stuffed animals, pillows,anything cuddly or handmade to sleep with!

-Anything wearable (size small)

-Those packets for hair, face mask, foot mask, anything "pampering" related.

-Funky, pretty, or fun socks (any women's size should fit)

-Blank postcards!!

-Blank notecards!!!!

-Stickers, either sheets or loose! My loose stash is VERY limited currently! help!

-rubber stamps/clear stamps/hand carved stamps

-ink pads any color (especially rainbow, metallic, glittery, chalk, UV light, or any other unique pad)

-Cat or dog toys or treats

-doggy leash or collar

-size medium doggy clothes (male)

  • tea

-Colorful pens, especially purple, green, or sky blue (I especially love gel pens, UV light pens, or anything else fun)

-Chickadee's chicken flavor chips!!! Or ANY brand chicken flavor chips/crisps or chicken flavor anything lol (Can not get these in USA)

-Anything unique to your country if not in USA!

Trade?

I'd love to receive or trade:

-n64 games (especially looking for "Iggy's Reckin' Balls"

-gameboy games!!

-xbox 360 games

-books (used welcome!)

-I have a lot of postcards from the 90s I'm willing to trade either naked or blank in an envelope.. including: X-files, Jane's Addiction, Deftones, Limp Bizkit, Bijou Phillips, Natalie Merchant, Jewel, Fiona Apple, Dave Matthews, Frank Zappa, Radiohead, The Chemical Brothers. -ask!

Dislikes

-Disney (I don't really mind for stickers if don't have anything else, but in general I'm a little sick of Disney :/)

-American candy, would love to try overseas candies and snacks though!

-note cards that have square envelopes/require additional postage to send

-Old public transportation passes, movie stubs, etc

-anything smokey. I know you can't help it if you live in a smokey house and someone who smokes shouldn't have to always buy something new instead of destashing but at the same time I can't use it if it's smokey I have to give it away to someone who doesn't mind or toss it! :(

1s and 3s

5/13/11 My account is currently in the process of being merged with old ratings. Some of the old ratings are 3s and 1s. If you have any information on the people that I owe swaps to, or if you are one of them, please send me a PM. You can also e-mail me at brownpaperpackage@hotmail.com. I feel so terrible about these old rating and would love a chance to make it right!

Please remember, ALL of my 1s and 3s are from over 3-5 years ago and do not reflect what kind of swapper I am now!!

Most of the bad ratings I have I can not make up for because the users no longer exist. I have contacted every person I have a poor rating from and am in the process of making up the swaps to those who got back to me. I am not currently signing up for any swaps so I can afford to make up these swaps.

In answer to your questions, yes, please do still send out your swaps to me as I have sent out all of my swaps on Glenn and will continue to do so always. And yes, if/when able, I will be hosting swaps again including the Flaked On series, Sunday=Funday, and 7 days of mail.

ALSO I am going through and rating all of the people I can from those past swaps. Better late than never.

To everyone I have spoken to that I owe swaps to- they're coming! I'm a college student working part time at a movie theater living measly paycheck by paycheck so please be patient, but do know your swaps are a big priority and they will be put together and sent out as absolutely soon as possible! Thanks so much for the second chances, you guys are awesome!

6/9/11 I am in the process of moving out of state for college, any of the swaps I am making up that I haven't gotten out yet, do not worry I have not abandoned you again, I will continue to make up my swaps after arriving to college until they are all done and taken care of! Any other questions? Please message me!

Comment: UPDATE 9/19/11: I did receive a "Make-Up Package" and it was a wonderful "make-up". Lots of papers, a great variety, and just a package that brought a smile to my face. I will upgrade my rating to a 5 because of the effort put forth to make better the original disappointing package. You didn't have to resend, but you really made the swap right, so I'm going to upgrade to a 5. Sorry about the delay in updating, Glenn. Summer took me away from Swap-bot, but Fall has brought me back. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Haven't received anything yet. Will change the rating when I do, however. Got mine today but what a disappointment... Update March 17th: Finally received the envelope today, and though I do not like to say negative things about swaps, I feel I must in this case so you would understand why I was very disappointed. The swap requirements asked "Please DO NOT SEND JUNK!" and sure one person might consider something junk that another might not, but this was sad, not fun... I was given: - 5 Free Cards (Advertising postcards - not actually useable postcards) and one was very offensive to receive as it was Erotica. Not everyone enjoys these types of pictures, and I think most people would agree that unless you know your partner would appreciate such items, the appropriate response is not to send; - 1 bent and old sticker sheet; - 3 Garfield stationery sheets from 1978 yellowed with age; - A Black and Blue handmade (by someone else it looks like - "thenerms2007") Valentine's Day card; - Another handmade card - a postcard that looks as if it's been sitting around unloved; - 2 little wooden tractor or train embellishments that looked like they came off of something (glue residue on the back) - Notecards and matching envelopes (3) and the ONLY thing that didn't look like "junk" or something that had been laying around getting damaged, rubbed, or marked on. I hate to give such poor feedback, Carissa, but I think most of your partners would rather that you take as much time as you need and send NICE things instead of things you have had sitting around and/or things you've received and don't like and want to get rid of. That's how I was made to feel when I saw what you sent - that most of this stuff was just "getting rid of" stuff. You sent late anyway, so I wouldn't have minded waiting a little longer for you to send a swap that you would have enjoyed receiving yourself. I do know that you took some time to put these in an envelope and actually mail, and for that I thank you. But overall, this was not "fun" like the spirit of the swap was intended and it was mostly "junk" which the rules specifically stated not to send. I'm sorry.
Response: Sent a message 5/16/11 to hopefully make up for what sounds like it was an awful package! I'm so sorry!

Comment: July 19, 2011: Amazing that you found this swap after all this time! Thank you for sending. Original comment: I know you said the post office mangled it and returned it to you, and that you were going to re-send (on April 2nd, I believe), but I've now waited more than 2 1/2 months for it to arrive (the send by date was Feb. 15th). I'll change this rating when it gets here.
Response: Messaged today 5/16/11, hoping to make up this swap to her.

Comment: Ahahaha! Got the package today, and that rubber chicken almost made me fall out of the chair when I gave it a pinch ;P Rubber chickens are extra funny in Norway because of a Norwegian cartoon featuring a suicidal rubber chicken. My husband is going to find that chicken somewhere strange one day, when he least expects it! *muahah* Looking forward to opening the rest of the envelopes during the week!
Response: Omg that's hilarious! hahaha. I hope you like everything :) I'm going to try to youtube the suicidal chicken

Your 1s and 3s maybe from 3-5 years ago but what about the one you received a few days ago?

3goldkeys on Jun 7, 2011:

I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy the Sunday-Funday and The 7 Days of Mail swaps. You have such clever ideas.

rumplyconch on May 21, 2011:

Hee hee, glad you liked the sunnies, I had to get myself a pair too as I fell in love with them, I nearly kept them for myself!!! Munster is my local rugby team, congrats on decoding it!! Thanks for organising such a fun swap!! xXx

Lexidh on May 16, 2011:

Of course the Sunday-funday had to arrive on a Monday! Aaargh ;P Thankfully I've got some days left on the 7 days of mail =)

ChikuNamika on May 4, 2011:

Thank you for hosting the Flaked on Swap - Non Flat Mail. It's such a great idea to do something like that to make up this bad flakers. Do you think you will do such a swap another time in future?

lovesmail on Apr 15, 2011:
