About Me

Updated November 2025

Edit: It seems like the site is back to normal but I'll wait and see if it continues like this or if it goes back to loading slowly and giving gateway errors to know if I can come back fully again. I love this site so much I'm having trouble letting go. We shall see...


Due to the many server problems on this website I have created an account on snailmailfriends.com. I will be swapping mostly on there from now on, my username is the same as on here. Please find me there! I will still be checking this site and keeping track of any outstanding swaps on my dashboard. End of an era for me.๐Ÿ˜ข To all my swapbot friends, please keep in touch through my insta, or snailmailfriends.๐Ÿ’—

Please note that I mark sent when my swaps are out of my hands, so it might be postmarked a different date than when I marked it sent.

I will always make good on my swaps. Please let me know if you have any problems with my swaps before rating and I will do the same for you. :)

My user name comes from one of my favorite songs:

Hides himself / Invents a charm / That makes him invisible / Hides in the air -From Bjork's song Hidden Place

OMG, I lost it at the purse. That was so cool, thank you! And all of the extras were awesome and so thoughtful as well. I'm into Teddy Roosevelt as a theme but def need to brainstorm on that one. I want to make you something worthy of the title!
