Just a quick note to say that the mail here is really having a rough go of things. I will not be signing up for swaps until things appear to have sorted themselves out, and even after that point, please be patient with swaps coming from me.

I just can't stay away! LOL I miss the camaraderie, the interesting swaps that you all come up with, and my mailbox misses joyful little surprises!

I'm easing back into swapping, so as not to get overwhelmed - hoping to find a couple of good pals to write with. :D

I'm cutting back on some of my groups. Owners, please don't take offense, I'm just trying not to spread myself too thin.

Updated as of 10/11/16:

Hey hey!

Even though everything has gone all techy, I still enjoy snail mailing letters and FB's. I'm hoping to find similarly-minded folks here. :)

When I'm not working (accounting - zzzzzzzzz), I make jewelry in my spare time.

I travel vicariously through the letters I write and receive, so I'm always looking for new snail mail pen pals. Drop me a line if you are, too!

Hope to hear from you!

All of the true crime and who-done-it's. Love some good sci-fi as well (The Expanse).

Will gladly watch a documentary over anything fictional.

International shows and movies are exciting, as well, if only to hear another language for a while.

Sewing, cross stitch, blackwork, I'd love to learn embroidery at some point.

I enjoy painting, but I suck at it.

Jewelry-making and chainmaile were a side gig for me a while back, but I got so burned out on it. I can still do it, but the joy is gone.

For the most part, I enjoy swapping:

FB's (I'll happily take your excess, even if they're new, or need to be sent home)

x-slips

stickers

stationery

handmade items

tea

cocoa

candies

recipes (I LOOOOOVE to cook!)

paper currency and coins

Diddl anything - he's so cute!

At the moment, I'm not terribly into swapping:

ATC's (though they are very interesting, and I can see myself getting into them in the future)

decos

slams

postcards

Victorian and art deco style

Dragonflies

Elephants

Daisies

Chewy, gummy candies

I also don't mind edgier, more "adult" things as well. I'll leave that to your imagination - LOL.

any and all manner of blank journal - lined, unlined, fancy expensive ones, the awesome $1 ones they have at Michaels, i don't care - they ALL call to me!

notecards

memo pads

All manner of ephemera, really
