NOTE: If you do not receive a swap from me, please message before rating. I always resend if need be :) Also, if you receive a tag from me please let me know so I can archive it in my records! Additionally, with swaps that require customs forms, I always write the package value as significantly lower than actual value to try and avoid theft.

Hello! I'm Ashlee, 23, and I hail from New Jersey, USA in the Philadelphia region. I have done postcard, penpal letter and tea swaps on postcrossing and am looking to expand my horizons a little!

I am currently a journalism graduate from a local university, and I do photography as a hobby along with penpalling/swapping and autograph collecting.

I'm not really crafty at all and I have zero artistic skills, but I can sew a little!

I also don't really collect/make ATCs unless they are a theme I like.

I have a 4 year old yellow lab named Prince and a 3 month old dumbo rat named Gatsby.

My sister is @raechelmarie
