I am an experienced mail artist and have successfully swapped with and developed swapping friendships in other forums - IUOMA -postcrossing - MMSA -international paper swaps - plus numerous private swaps via my old blog and Instagram. ((I love swapping and so if you want to do a private swap just PM me and let me know. ))

I mail everything out within a day or two of the assignment, so if you don't ever receive something, please holler back. it's likely lost in the mail, and I AM HAPPY TO SEND A REPLACEMENT pronto. :)
