**Hi there, I know I haven't been active on Swap-Bot for several years (chronic illness), but I would really like to get back into swapping. I just wanted to add this note in case anyone was questioning my inactivity - please see my ratings and extensive activity from 2011-2016. I plan to start off with just a few swaps to get my feet wet.

**I have a ton of art supplies to destash that I would be interested in doing private swaps with. Private swaps are a little less pressure as I start out! Let me know if you're interested and we can chat!

**As of June 11, 2018, I have not yet updated the rest of my profile - some things have changed. I will make the changes ASAP, but I'm still lttleetoile!

I'm eager to have a rewarding experience with Swap-bot, so please see my "Swapping" section at the end of my profile.

My name is Erin, and I enjoy crafts, collections, and the color pink. Stars and starlight mean a lot to me. I married my perfect husband in April 2013, and in December, we moved from Virginia/Washington DC to Melbourne, Florida. We are originally from Florida, so it's nice to be out of the snow and back in the sunshine! We have two cats, Leo and Dino, who keep everything interesting.

Right now, I mostly sew and quilt (by hand). I also do a lot of paper crafts, including ATCs, inchies, Zentangles, card-making, collage, bookmarks, et cetera. I also do photography, basket weaving, drawing, and some writing. I post in my blog (link above) pretty regularly.

I also collect postcards! I collect state postcards, all international postcards, art postcards, postcards from museums, recipe postcards, funny/cute postcards, nature postcards, vintage linen postcards, and handmade postcards. I would rather not ad/free postcards. I prefer my PCs written on and stamped. Don't know what to write? Send me a good quote. I love quotes!

I must have thousands of postcards, as I have almost 700 U.S. state postcards alone! I think it would be really cool to have a state flag card, a state map card, a state capitol card, and another card showing the state bird, flower, or some other symbol for each state. (I would also love postcards of baseball stadiums.) I am far from achieving this goal! Also, I need more postcards from these states: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, New Jersey, North Dakota, and Vermont.
