About Me

I live in the island of Puerto Rico and I am a stay at home mom at the moment to a baby I had in 2018. He is now almost 3 years old and learning so much! (Updated December 2020)

I like to read, go to the beach, go hiking and relaxing spending time with family and friends. I love to craft, draw, paint and recently I've been learning about junk journals and making them. I like to try different kinds of tea, mostly I like caffeine free ones as I am still breastfeeding and I also like to try new candy, mostly chocolate. I like crystals and new age stuff and learning about others spiritual practices, cultures and traditions. I love journals and notebooks and fill them up with different things.

I like journaling in the junk journals I make, especially now that I have a little one. Is so fun keeping a record of the new things he does and learns. I watch crafty youtube channels for learning and inspirations so recommendations are always welcomed.

Favorite Music

I like all kinds of different music and like to find new music to listen to,

*The Last Unicorn

*The Goonies

*Inside Out

On t.v I watch a little bit of everything, I like cop shows and mystery. Some of my favorites are:

Favorite Crafts

Ive liked drawing and painting since I was a child and I love to craft with paper. For the past 2 years I have been really into junk journals. I love making them and using them. I love to journal using bits and pieces from my everyday life and will be doing my first December daily this year. I have been really into making flip books lately and sent my very first one recently. They are just so much fun to make. UPDATE April 2019, I am now learning embroidery and loving it.

SWAPPING

I live in Puerto Rico, this is part of the US so the postage and timing are the same as when sending to any other state. I say this because I have a budget for swapping and sometimes I join the regional swaps for the US and have been banned because is US only. This leaves me with only the option of international swaps and is more costly for me to always send international.

I dont flake and always try to send on time unless something has happened in which case i will let you know. If you don't receive something please let me know so I can make it right and resend. I will always rate and even give hearts when I feel the mail is special, it could be something as simple as a note. I love it when things are creative and wrapped nicely and I love decorated envelopes.

I reuse packaging as much as possible and like to make my own envelopes out of paper bags and packaging as often as I can.

Comment: Received my swap today...you should have seen it as it lay in my mailbox! My heart sank...it was in a clear bag from the postal service to keep the contents together. It appeared to have been in a flood! I've carefully peeled away each little precious vintage piece, laid them out to dry, and will flatten them once they are dry. I was tickled to have each thing that you sent, even though one item simply couldn't be saved. The journey they made from your house to mine will add "character" to their appearance when I use them in my mail art. And your envelope was lovely, even though it was a reflection of having been subjected to what looked like a hurricane. You made this a fun swap despite the US mail and I thank you!!
