I am a 25 year old married gal from the midwest. (MO) Born and raised.

I got introduced to paling/swaping for a 5th grade english assignment, and I have been hooked ever since.

For those who ask, yes I am also looking for new friends to write to. Obviously no scammers please. Just write me a message and say hello! Nothing is more soothing to me, than a weekend planned with reading and writing pals letters.

My fav things to swap are

-Matchboxes

-ATCs. Small or mini

-Photos

-FB's

-SlAMS (full page, small, anything)

-Stickers, stickers stickers!

-Post cards, homemade, all the better.

-DIY jewelry. I especially love rings. (Rings that are bendable and shapable a plus)

-Stationary kits

-Any Sanrio, Diddl, San-X, Blue Bear, old school Lisa Frank, Kawaii, Suzy Zoo, Mary E items.

-I am in LOVE with homemade stationary kits!

-I have an obsession with makeup. Any type of makeup. Chances are if I don't put it on my face, I'll find other uses for it!

-I love cutesy and zany socks. I love to wear them around the house.

-Key fobs. The more orginal the better!

-Decos. I used to be very huge into these then realized half of them don't get home anyways, and it's much better to just do an ATC!

-Xslips/Bags

-I really don't like anything that has a heavy floral scent, or is musky.

-I really dont swap alot of the dollar store lotions, perfumes etc. I have way too much of this stuff as is!

-I really don't care for alot of yarns, seeing as how I don't knit ;/

-Bottle cap charms.

I will rate! And I will rate fairly as well. I will rate based on the specific guidelines for the swap, not if I enjoyed the swap itself. I know that everybody has different tastes .. and if I can't use the item, I'll gladly pass it along to somebody who can. Let's go Green .. swap style! I give big hearts to thoughtful packages. Homemade items usually always get hearts! Just the fact that somebody took the time out of their day to 'craft' me something, deserves a heart in itself.
