UPDATE 12/14/18: Today my hubby received 2 envies of swaps returned for insufficient postage ( shame on me!). My kind hubby decided to take care of it for me and added the postage and sent them back out. Unfortunately that means I don’t know what swaps/ who was affected. So... I’m very sorry if you receive a late swap from me without communication!!

I'm a mom of 3 beautiful young boys (8, 6, 5). I'm trying to instill the love of mail in my 3 boys. They certainly love to take my mail to the mailbox and put up the flag! They are also more than happy to help me decorate my envies!! I live in a tiny "village" in Michigan and love Michigan State University (Go Green! Go White!). I love stickers, making my own envelopes, and making my own postcards. I can't remember a time when I didn't love sending and receiving mail! My grandmother is one of my best penpals, and has been since I first went off to college 17 years ago.

Most current country, some (not all) pop. I can never remember artists' names or who sings what...its just not my forte :) not so great with lyrics either, I get that from my dad hahaha. My hubby is great with songs and artists...we complement eachother well.

Current: Big Bang Theory, The Good Place, Grey's Anatomy, Superstore, Jeopardy.

Cancelled series: How I met your mother, Once Upon a Time, Castle, Oh and let’s not forget The Office.

handmade envies, decorating envies, flipbooks, handmade die cuts or embellishments, basically anything involving glue or scissors...

I love surprises, really truly do. No allergies. Love love love decorated or colorful envelopes.

I would be super excited to receive:
~A few sheets of matching stationery. If you’re thinking about maybe sending me a notecard or stationery, choose the stationery!! I like to write long-ish letters to my penpals, and there’s not quite enough room on a card! Plus I love seeing and using new stationery designs!
~Stickers.
~Embossed paper. If you've got a machine to emboss paper, I'd love for you to send me an embossed scrap of cardstock.
~Die cuts. Handmade or store bought. Even just basic shapes. Large or small, I’ll use them all! ~Washi tape, especially pictures, shiny, vintage look, thin, or thick styles.
~Blank address labels.
~Stamped images on white paper or card stock, especially larger sized or unique designs!
~Handmade embellishments I can use to add flavor to my crafts!
