Causes dear to my heart:
Profile update: 16/12/20 ADDRESS HAS CHANGED
My Mum is a Youtuber! She mainly works with paper - stamps, cards, watercolors etc. Very talented. I recommend a watch and a subscribe. https://www.youtube.com/user/vadeler
My friend is an artist. I commissioned a peice by her and it is simply breath taking. Check out her art here: https://instagram.com/paintandpolaroids?igshid=1r4i0gm8tdnaf
Timor-Leste (East Timor) is a tiny country in South East Asia. I had the privilege of teaching English at this new and growing school. They're so blessed to have a new building with the finishing touches needed now. A real and worthy cause. https://chuffed.org/project/tais-school-auditorium#/supporters
I'm trying to match my Swap-bot swaps 1:1 with mail to my family and friends.
About Me
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my profile.
I live in Australia. I'm a teacher. I have a fluffy ragdoll cat, a growing collection of house plants and a super cute sponsor child. I love drinking coffee and tea. I love thoughtfully curating happy mail. I sew and am an amateur dressmaker. I love the idea of upcycling and like doing my part for the environment. I've found my love language to be giving thoughtful gifts and have found many answers in life from realising I'm ENFP. I'm Christian and am on a journey with Jesus. I love to sing and have quirky taste in music and many things.
When I'm teaching I love to see the brave creativity of kids. Most small kids don't care if they make mistakes and those who do, I love seeing the moment of pushing through fear. I really can learn a thing or two!
I love to make time for people, laugh and listen to their stories. I have traveled and enjoy meeting new people, trying new foods, seeing new sights from all cultures.
Australia: I love our unique animals and community spirit. Most people of this huge island country are kind-hearted and love having a joke. Meet my Dad and you'd know this fully! Also, please understand it may take a while to receive from me once sent due to postal systems.
My craft experience: My Mum just loves all of them and dabbled in all through my childhood. She's super talented. She definitely gave her love of this to me. I enjoy trying new things and recently swaps, pen paling and happy mail have interested me.
I hope I can brighten your day somehow!

Receiving
I'm honestly not here for the receiving but I've found this section helpful on other's profiles when sending. These are just some things of note, I'd be happy and grateful with most things you would take time to send!
I like - all colours but orange is my dear favourite, blank postcards, handmade things, learning about your country and where you live, letters (I so appreciate when someone takes the time to write one!).
I'm ok with it - cheeky/sassy/funny cards or postcards, 'Frozen' themed things, sci-fi
I dislike - anything satanic, mythical, witches, fairies etc., overly embellished things, Victorian/Parisian/Shabby Chic vintage style, plain or old tea.
Need to know anything else, please ask 😊😊

Just because ♥
Hi Beth.
How are you doing? I hope you're safe, healthy and well. I was wondering of you'd be interested in another private journalling swap? Not as heavy/big as the last one, but a bit smaller one just to keep us both on track.
Elisabeth
Here's an illustration of one of my favourite plants to brighten your day.
Heh, I've just sent out your swap for the LSRUS 1000 Hearts Giveaway swap, plus the swap to my partner for the Active Aussie SWAPaholics 5 Things For Fun swap, and just realised you're also sending to me for the 5 Things swap. Looking forward to it! :D
Thank you so much for the tea, lemur postcard and magnet! I can't wait to try the tea and the postcard/magnet are on my fridge! Yay!! :D
Hello Beth! Thank you so much for the awesome handmade postcard! I really love it! It is very cute and I think you did a great job and love the kittens on it. I also loved reading the note you sent. Thank you :) From Handmade Postcard Tag.
Thank you so very much for your mail via the Happy Mail Int. tag. I appreciate that you took the time to make/find so many things to send based on my profile. I really like the peclican notecard.:)
Leaving kindness swap Hello Beth, Allow me to welcome you to Swap-bot🌻. I hope that you will enjoy meeting and making many new friends from all around the world while on Swap-bot. It has introduced me to some great friends. You’re a teacher of children, color me jealous! I know now at 64 that I would have loved to been a teacher when I was younger. I have taught the Bible Time line to 5th graders at our church for 13 plus years now. Their little minds are like sponges and what an investment you are making their young lives. Keep up the great job and remember to take care of yourself. I commend for being a teacher. You are touching lives for generations to come🌻 Blessings, May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Hello, reading your profile I feel that we share so much in common. Since I was a little girl, it’s been my dream to visit Australia. As a replacement, I work at an Aussie restaurant 🤣 Dress making is so unique! Not many people do this anymore! So cool You seem very humble. Children are the purest form of the human race. We should all turn to them for lessons. Have a beautiful day!
God, continue to bless her in all she does. May You guide her heart and allow students to be touched by her spirit.
