NOTE: I am AmelieChev/Kendrakaay and that you are working on making your old swaps good. Please see this thread: http://www.swap-bot.com/forums/topic/40366

As of August 19th! I'm almost there, guys! ALMOST! I am so proud of myself, and I really, really want to thank everyone for letting me into this wonderful website and giving me a new chance at starting over. And I especially want to thank Rachel. I cant tell you how much this means to me!

The swaps I'm 'in' at the moment are ones that I am making up.

Also willing to design address labels, recipe cards, swap cards, business cards, and most other materials involving graphic design.

Well, my name is Kendra, I'm an 18 year old, VERY quirky girl. I'm a person who thrives in cold, rainy whether, loves architecture, doesn't leave the house without a notebook, loves tattoos, and has an infatuation with stationary. I love anything that's unique. I'm fairly creative and love crafting, but my passion is writing. My second passion is languages! I'm majoring in Liberal Arts, but focusing on Languages and Cultures. I hope to study abroad a few years from now. For the moment though, I'm content with going to JC and working...I'm a maternity and wardrobing specialist.

A very large part of my personality, habits, and things I manage to get myself into are due to numerous mental disorders. I am bipolar. plus a few other things. However I will never use it as a complete excuse for my actions or late swaps. Complete' is the key word. there are times, in major depressions where I cannot bring myself to do much of anything. and there are times where I cannot leave my home without having panic attacks. BUT anyone I am swapping with will be notified and WILL still receive their swap.

One of my biggest hobbies is penpalling, and its my favorite hobby. I've been doing it for two years now, and have made some amazing friends! My best friend is actually a penpal. :] It's wonderful to be able to share things with someone new and 'meet' them through writing! And its almost therapeutic for me, because of some issues I have.

I also have recently begun getting into paranormal-type things. Cemeteries etc.

I still live at home with my family, and have a zoo of pets!

Lately, Ive had to downsize my fish and I only plan on owning two bettas. I just got my first saltwater tank though!

Disco, Romeo, and Google!

I also run a betta fish rescue out of my home

Oh, and my newest obsession is vintage typewriters! I recently aqquired a 1950's Smith-Corona and HE is my baby! I love him to death. haha. Not my photo!

I am ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS on the look out for new, sincere penpals from anywhere! Female only please! I tend to stick to long letters, because I have a rambling and babbling issue sometimes! But some of my best friends are my penpals! And I can always use more besties. :D

I have an ENORMOUS addiction to stationary, or anything I can use for penpalling! Those things include:

• gel pens/colorful pens.
• ATC's.
• hair bows/clips.
• stationary/writing paper.
• stickers. -envelopes. -packing materials(such as deco tapes and bubble envelopes)
• bookmarks.
• cute address labels!

I also really love anything cute or kawaii! I adore Hello Kitty and any Sanrio characters, as well as San-X, Q-Lia, Crux, and whatever else is cute. :] I love plushies, letter writing things! memopads(I use them for making cute FBs and for making my packages look nice!), pens, stickers, sticker sacks, key mats, keyrings, cell phone charms, etc. I love surprises!

I regularly swap things like labelbags, friendship books, decos, crams, sticker/goodie bags(when I get them...I don't like doing them really) etc. And I ALWAYS have them on hand. And if you send me your labels, I can make them for you, too. :]

I also have very good access to postcards!

I ALWAYS have these things to pass on!

NOTE: WILL swap anything for a Moleskine XL Planner!

I'm putting together a penpal scrapbook! So anything you think would be cute to add would be wonderful!

I like pretty much anything but I don't like:

• gothic-ey type stuff. -trashy/used items(unless discussed)
• Absolutely NO religious items WHATSOEVER. I do not believe in God and do not appreciate people forcing it onto me.
• things you are including in a swap simply because you dont like them.
• things that were in a smoke environment.
• hairey things. I am extremely allergic to cats and dog dander.
