About Me

Introducing myself, Lyss! Im a 4th generation American whose family came over to the USA from Graciosa + Corvo Island, Azores, Portugal. The last of my European Portuguese speaking relatives passed when i was very young; I am currently trying to teach myself the language and eventually help my mother to learn as well :-) im always yearning to learn more! If you have any recipes, travel stories, anything i would adore them!

This is a safe space for anybody and everybody ๐Ÿงš๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Theres far too much hate, division, and judgement in the general universe. I live by the term of spreading love to all, and protecting the Earth that we live in โค๏ธ Im passionate about activism, it all started when i was a child and my dad frequently took me to animal shelters to volunteer and stand up for those who dont have a voice of their own ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿป๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฆ†๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฆจ๐Ÿธ i fell in love with connecting to creatures of all kinds; going to audobons to learn about protecting the native owl species, going out through the sand and placing protective cages over turtle eggs so they safely hatch without harm, visiting butterfly sanctuaries, and planting trees locally. My father really impacted my appreciation for all kinds of wild-life beauty as he even taught me about the marine life and bug species! Long story short id love anything with critters on it :D I especially love oppossums, chipmunks, toads, raccoons, etc! I am so thrilled to be in armadillo territory now, i am kind of obsessed with them!

I am currently raising a 3 lb chihuahua pup named Punk; he always wants to be held and he gets chilly easily, he would love any kind of soft fabric or fitting crafty creation! He likes to be wrapped in scarves as well. I cant knit or crochet :-( but i use fabric to make carrier bags he snuggles in when we go out

TEA + Flavor Preferences

For any swaps regarding teas, chocolates etc. i decided to add this in! I like trying new things :-) if i ever have another USA partner, i try to include foreign tea from my stash to make it a lil more exciting. and i LOVE honey of all flavors! any time i travel, i make sure to stop at a local shop to grab some of the local honey. My favs I've "collected" are blueberry honey from Maine, raspberry honey from Connecticut, and a jar of honey from Germany, Sweden & Texas from fellow SB members!

Books + Reading

You wont find me reading love novels.. Im a sucker for fast-paced thrill, crime, mystery & suspense. Im not bothered by what some would consider too graphic. Lisa Gardner is my favorite author! Id love to hear your book recommendations as im always looking for my next read! Id love to find another author i can obsess over!

  • no embellishments that are wooden, rhinestone / bling, tiny paper punches etc.

  • Office supplies- please dont send sticky notes, paperclips, highlighters.
  • generic inspirational mottos on anything. "Live laugh love", dream on, etc
  • journal / planner / work / to-do type stickers
  • Kid items. i dread receiving reward stickers, and things like toy story, frozen, elmo, etc.
  • nothing religious or political, respectfully. With the exception of pagan related items or other magickal elements
  • Unless i join a PC swap where it is a requirement, please dont send postcards! I dont use them and end up passing them all on, aside from rarely getting a special one i display
  • nothing regarding certain fan bases. Examples: star wars, Harry Potter, disney etc.
  • dragons
  • stereo-typical witch themed items. You know what im talking about.. the green old Halloween witch with that hat and broom!

Incredibly overwhelming and im sorry it affected my resend to you as its an art piece that requires time. Although the original swap was sent on time and i put a lot of effort into it im so saddened it didnt reach you :-( your resend will be on its way

Comment: Hi Lyss! I love this mail art! I'm always in awe when I receive a black envelope--I've never attempted to write or draw on black paper. I love all the little references to tea and can't wait to try the teas you included. My mother's family came from Germany, so maybe I will fall in love with the 'winter' tea from Germany. Wonderful swap--many thanks.
