Hi there, thanks for taking the time to read my profile.

2/15/26 Update: I have returned after an extended hiatus. Before my absence, I failed to complete a few swaps, I bit off more than I could chew. I take full responsibility for my failures and have reached out to any past swap partners possible to make amends. My plan going forward is to only sign up for 1 swap at a time, and perhaps do exchanges and RAK in the forums.

A few notes about me:

• I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California.
• I have lived in Oklahoma for 23 years now.
• I have been happily married for 25 years.
• No kids, but eventually want to adopt.
• I have 3 fur babies (sugar gliders).

• Color - Blues and grays
• Food - Pizza and ice cream
• Place - Disneyland Parks (Went here on my honeymoon!)
• Scents - Vanilla, jasmine
• Pastime - Browsing Pinterest for new craft ideas
• Other random things I like: thunderstorms, Disney movies, pens
• Things I collect - postcards, stamps (postmarked), playing cards

A few of my interests:

• Crafts - I dabble in just about every craft I come across: cross-stitch, kirigami, origami, diamond painting, woodburning (I love the smell of burning wood), beading...my current hobbies are paper crafting, collage and junk journaling.
• Cats and sugar gliders
• Computer games (Minecraft and Palia are current favorites)
• Performing Random Acts of Kindness - I love to put a smile on someone's face, friend and stranger alike.
• Reading (mostly non-fiction: architecture, forces of nature, books about books)
• Learning - I am a life-long learner and passionate about discovering new ideas

Topics I would enjoy writing about with you

• Traveling
• Books!
• Computer games
• Learning something new (I'm a life-long student)
• Sociology
• Deep subjects: I like to go past the basic conversation of weather and daily routine and dig into what you think about, how you feel.

I have a wide range of favorites:

• Electronic dance music
• 90s Pop
• New Age
• Movie soundtracks (Star Wars, Transformers, Indiana Jones and similar)

I watch very little TV, so I have no favorites.

Things I'd love to receive:

• Stickers
• Stamps (canceled or not, foreign and domestic)
• Book themed items of any sort
• Cool/unique playing cards
• Just about anything related to paper crafting
• Scrapbook sheets
• Ephemera
• Things that sparkle, I love glittery items!

...will add more as I think of it.
