Hello fellow swappers! :) My name is Jen and I live in Steelton, Pennsylvania, a small town right outside of Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania. I live with my husband Mike, our wedding anniversary is October 4, 2014. We have two kitties who are sisters from the same litter. They are 10 years old. Lily is a tabby cat (orange & white) and Abby is a calico cat (tan, black & white).

I have been pen palling and swapping for 20 years and I joined Swap-Bot in February 2013. If you do not receive a swap from me after I mark that I have sent it, please message me to let me know and I will happily resend. I would never flake on a swap. Also, if you are going to be late on a swap, please message me to let me know. Trust me, I understand that life happens and we cannot always get swaps out on time. As long as you communicate with me, it's no problem at all! :)

About my recent 3 rating: I sent a swap a week late and therefore the receiver rated me a 3. I did not think this was fair at all, considering my past history of all 5 ratings. I even offered to send her extras to make up for it but she refused to change the rating. While I was very upset to receive my first 3 rating in 5 1/2 years, I won’t let it discourage me from participating in swaps! I’ve met a lot of wonderful people through this site!!!

Some things that I like/would like to receive:

-Hello Kitty and other Sanrio stationery - I LOVE the characters from the 90s and early 2000s and I'm sad that they are so hard to find now!!!

-Stickers! I LOVE stickers :) Any brand is fine, but some of my favorites are Sticko, Jolee's Me & My Big Ideas and Doodlebug.

-Washi tape - one of my newest obsessions! I have hundreds of rolls!!!
