I am a collector at heart and I love swapping. :) I've been a stamp collector for many years. I've also been actively collecting and swapping stamps, postcards, stickers and other paper via many different sites. I send promptly and never flake, so please message me if you don't receive a swap (postal service isn't infallible).

I live in a busy tourist region of Canada. I am happily married and we have one cat named Pepper who is very adorable but also badly behaved. She is my avatar.

I wish I was more creative and artistic. I love seeing what people can do with their mail, but I tend to keep things simple, with beautiful stamps, nice stickers/washi and (far too many) pens/markers.

I've recently been enjoying TPCs and love a good Happy Mail swap! I am also currently swapping for 'pass along' items like Friendship Books, Sticker Bags, Sticker Books, Label Bags and Postage Stamp Bags.

It's far too hard to put a small list here, but I am a sucker for mysteries from classics like anything by Agatha Christie, to procedurals from Michael Connelly, private eye novels from Sue Grafton, Robert P Parker or Janet Evanovich.

I read most genres, including science fiction, fantasy (Patrick Rothfuss), non-fiction, literature and the list goes on.

I usually read 50-100 books a year (my record is 126).

In terms of postcard (and sticker, and paper) topics .. I love cats, glitter, sparkle, owls, foxes and really anything cute! My favourite colour is blue.

When it comes to stamps, because I've collected for so long, I have many different topics and countries that I prefer. A few of them are coffee/tea, UNESCO, jazz, comics, owls, books on stamps, and stamps from all the countries of Scandinavia, plus Ireland, Austria, Japan, Botswana, Tonga and Germany.

Things I enjoy, from A-Z.
