Update 6/24/24: I seem to be having issues with my local post office or something is going on. There are several wishes and swaps I have not yet received, and one sent that has not made it to my partner yet either. I have dropped from all swaps that haven't been assigned yet until I can get this figured out. If you haven't received a swap or acknowledgement of something you sent, please let me know and be patient with me. Thank you.

Update 10/5/23: I have decided to go back to college! I have an Associates degree, but I'm going back for my Bachelor's and planning on getting my Master's too. Today I received an acceptance letter from my #1 school! With that said, I will be swapping a lot less often. Whenever I do get to sign up for a swap I will still be as committed to completing it as I have been, I will just be doing a lot less swapping all together.

Hello! My name is Jennifer and I am a 35yr old wife, homeschooling stay-at-home mom, foster and adoptive mom, Christ follower, and artist. I live in the beautiful state of Michigan, only about a 10 minute drive from Lake Michigan. We have 1 dog and 2 cats.

My favorite thing to swap is Artist Trading Cards! I started creating and collecting them in the spring of 2020. Before that I had been working on learning to paint for a little over a year. I often use acrylic and/or watercolor paints in my art pieces, but I am learning more and more about mix media and collage. I enjoy using stamped images, scrapbook papers, colored pencils, lace, corrugated cardboard, thread and stitching, and more! I am also interested in bookmark, ephemera, mini pocket letter, or other arts and crafts type swaps.

Other hobbies of mine include reading (especially historical fiction and fantasy), riding my bicycle, riding ATV's, journaling, and baking. Some of these hobbies we enjoy together as a family, along with playing all kinds of board and card games, doing puzzles, and playing video games. I also recently opened an ArtPal Shop to sell my work, including journal/purse dangles, bracelets, and more.

I will only mark my swaps sent after I drop them in the mailbox. If after a couple weeks (leaving time for mail delays) you don't receive it let me know. I am happy to re-send when needed. Also, if something is delivered with postage due, send me a message and I will send you what is owed! And I am so sorry in advance if that does happen, but I will do my best to make sure it doesn't.
