My name is Lindsey & I live near the coast of beautiful Lake Michigan.
I've been sending happy mail via swap-bot for over five years now. It brings me lots of joy to receive mail from friends across the country and the world.
I have two pet rabbits named Leo and Lucy.
I have many house plants! I am nowhere near an expert, but my skillset has definitely grown as I have come to have quite the collection, especially throughout the last few years.
I love writing to penpals and postcard pals, check out my Instagram (linked above) if you'd like to see some of the mail art I create.
During my undergrad, I worked on campus at the library. I worked there all 4 years (plus most summers in between), and I LOVED it! Libraries will always hold a special place in my heart.
Favorite book genres:

handmade envies (mailable size and using sturdy paper are great!)

Some of my favorite types of postcards:

personalized return address labels (loving the smaller & tiny ones at the moment!)
swap info cards to send along in my swap-bot envelopes

art made by you! I especially love collage pieces, mini zines, handmade cards, sticker sheets, & memo sheets/sticky notes.
ββThese are some types of items that I would rather not receive:
I will try my best to add personal touches to my swaps, whether itβs something mentioned from your profile or a common interest or a cute sticker or two on your PC. Iβm thankful for anything I receive through swap-bot.
I mark sent after I drop mail into the big blue postal boxes or put it in my mailbox in the morning. If you happen to not receive a swap from me, be sure to message me and I will always be willing to resend it!
I always send on time and make sure it has correct postage, but please understand that sometimes mail can get lost! Be sure to let me know if there are any issues, and I will work hard to resolve them. I hope you'll do the same for me.
I will always be open to adjusting ratings if you message me and are willing to work things out. I know life gets in the way sometimes and no one is perfect, just please be open to talking about what happened and I will be happy to adjust my rating if I feel that is the right thing to do!
This site is above everything else supposed to spread joy and kindness through the act of sending physical mail, I want my account (especially) to be treating people with the same kindness I would also like to receive!
THANK YOU for taking the time to read my profile; happy swapping!
