CMBOND

My name is Cynthia from the Pacific Northwest (Olympia, Washington). I am 43 years old and living with my husband and two young adult daughters, on a tiny hobby farm with 3 labs, 3 cats, 5 goats, and many chickens.

I also work part-time at a pack-and-ship shop. A dream job for a snail mail junkie!

I hope to gain inspiration to do more swaps crafts, along to share those crafts, swap postcards, pen pal letters, and more! !

I am an avid reader, reading/listing to audiobooks up to 100 + a year.

I'll read just about any genre with the expectation of a few certain futuristic themes.

I have been crafting my whole life and have yet to find a craft I haven't wanted to try.

Favorites are (the list is constantly growing)

• Crocheting
• Cross Stitching
• Pocket Letters
• ATC cards
• Card Making
• Collages
• Sewing Projects

I DISLIKE crude, rude, or vulgarity. Otherwise, my likes list can be endless. I am not religious but not against receiving religious-themed crafts.

I genuinely love when others swap with their own hearts in mind.

Some of my favorite things are:

• Hippos (My spirit Animal)
• Vintage (20th century)
• Postcards (I like them all)
• Books and Bookmarks
• Postages Stamps (Collect Them)
• Birds
• Animals
• Farm Life
• Photography
• Gnomes, Trolls, Fairies and whimsical things (not childish)
• Gardening (both vegetables and flowers) and Houseplants
• Hiking and Outdoors
• Nature, Trees, Mountains, Landscapes
• Washi Tape and stickers!!
• Stationary and Pens (I might be obsessed)

I'm a big Lord of the Rings/Hobbit and Star Wars fan. I like classic black-and-white movies, suspense/thriller (not horror) movies, comedies, military, and movies based on books—too many to list. I'm not too fond of rom-com movies.

Game of Thrones/House of Dragons, Pride, and Prejudice (BBC version), Sherlock Holmes (BBC version), Derry Girls, Stranger Things, Perry Mason, Golden Girls, Murder She Wrote, and Longmire (just to name a few)

I love watching TV shows based on books and documentaries (all kinds from crime to nature, but especially Ken Burns)
