FORMERLY: Danielle F, and I joined swap-bot January 2006!!! ✈ Over 6 years now oh my!

Im always up for a private swap for postcards, feel free to browse my picasa, if you see somthing you like and want to swap for something I like, please message me!

My daughter Zoe Autumn was born September 20th, it was the most beautiful experience of my life, a lot of hard work, labor is NO JOKE, but it went quickly, therefore, I was able to go all natural! Im madly in love!

I see myself as someone who is quirky, silly, smart, sassy, nurturing, considerate, opinionated,and open-minded... I definitely beat to the sound of my own drum...

✉ ✉ I have an odd obession with the mail... It's true...I really, really like the mail, getting lovely postcards to packages gives me something to look forward to everyday! I love connecting intimately, yet anonomously...

I am always trying something new...I'm a diy kinda gal, i compost, i reuse...i mow my own lawn... i secretly want to be a burlesque dancer... I try to live, laugh and love everyday! I'm known to dance in my car like it's my stage!

I grew up going to thrift stores and tag sales and continue to love to search for that one special item...

I love to decorate! I'm a homebody at heart!

*I could always use stamps!, I also love them on my mail!

*Address labels (any kind are more than appreciated!)

*skinny sharpies regular size

*anything related to urban homesteading

*anything about motherhood, and parenting

(in no special order):

*POSTCARDS! new and un-used would be great, Im into postcrossing, and mailart, so I will always find a use for them. Generally, I prefer non touristy postcards, random things to places, and love them sent naked. I don't mind ad/free cards as long as it has somerthing to do with one of my likes:
