Update

16 October, 2021

To all swappers that I owe ratings to from the last few months, I have a HUGE STACK of mail to rate, so I’m sure your swap is amongst it…I will try to rate all the swaps over the next few days.

A Few Things About Me

  • I have a rabbit, Cuddles, who just turned 9. She is like my little baby, and I LOVE her to bits! She is very affectionate, and her favourite treat is banana!
  • I love creativity
  • I’m highly introverted
  • I’m an HSP - highly sensitive person
  • I have chronic anxiety and a circadian rhythm disorder, and I am currently unable to work
  • I love nature, and most things to do with the natural world
  • I love all things paper, stationery, snail mail, and have since I was little
  • I love art, craft, surface design, illustration, photography, interior decorating
  • My favourite colours are pinks, greens, blues, purples. I love pastel colours.
  • I prefer quality over quantity

Notes on Swapping

If possible, I'd appreciate real postage stamps on swaps, rather than printed labels. I love stamps and love seeing and collecting different ones from around the world!

I will always complete swaps that I've signed up for, and will rate my partners in a timely fashion. However, life happens, and if I will be late in sending a swap for any reason, I will always message my partner/s.

OUTGOING swaps...I always comprehensively read my swap partner's profile, and try my best to send something I think they'll like, and that may bring them some joy. If you don't receive my swap within a month of the swap deadline, please message me before rating. If necessary, I will re-send. Please keep in mind that I live in Australia, and international mail deliveries currently remain affected by COVID-19, so it may take a month or more.

INCOMING swaps...If I don't receive a swap two months after the deadline, I will always contact my partner before rating, and give them a chance to re-send.

Things I Love

  • PAPER!!! Decorative, patterned, scrapbooking, vintage book pages...
  • things with a subtle sparkle

Postcard Wishlist

  • US state map postcards

I love US state map postcards, and have built a collection of cards from almost all 50 states, thanks to many lovely swappers!

STILL LOOKING FOR...Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont. I would love any state map postcards, and would love to have various ones from all the states.

If you can help me out with my collection, please message me and we can set up a private swap! Thank you in advance :)

My favourite childhood, and all-time favourite movie is JURASSIC PARK!

Some of my other favourite movies include: The Lost World, Jaws, Alien, Aliens, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Twister, Apollo 13, Home Alone 1 + 2, No Country For Old Men, Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, Wayne's World, Napoleon Dynamite.

No Thank You

I am only interested in swapping paper related items, and flat stationery/craft items - postcards, letters, greeting cards, stickers, washi, paper crafting supplies, etc. Please do not send anything that does not pertain to this, thank you!

Australia has very strict rules for what can and can't be mailed here. Please do not send any magnets/anything magnetized, animal products, or any perishable foodstuffs.

  • food/drink (including candy, gum, tea, chocolate)

  • items that smell of cigarette smoke

  • anything scented - I'm very sensitive to smells and they often trigger migraines

  • items with pet hair on them...but please give your pets a cuddle for me!

  • items with loose glitter/ glitter that sheds easily

  • themes: animal cruelty (hunting, animal racing, circus animals, and anything depicting animal mistreatment/abuse), clowns, pirates, goblins, gnomes, witches, wizards, gothic, owls, snakes, toads, cockroaches, military/war, The Wizard of Oz

Comment: Many thanks for the stamps - I love them! It might sound as if I use a lot of stamps for my crafts, but the butterflies and RSA (also SWA) are in their own collector's albums.

Comment: Nothing has arrived for this swap. The send by date was June 28. I contacted her on August 11 to let her know it had not arrived, but she has not signed on to SB since August 6. Happy to change the rating if something arrives.

Comment: Hello! Thank you so much for the beautiful selection of stamped images--truly, I adore them all. I ended summer with a couple outdoor gigs, then headed back into the office last week for the first time since March 2020. Totally surreal. I hope you're well, and I'm totally down for a private swap! -k

Comment: Oh. My. Word. I LOVE these envelopes!! Especially the one I found in my mailbox holding the swap. It is now hanging on the twine I have stretched across my craft room where I pin the most creative and unique mail I receive. Thank you for this incredible swap and I wish I could give you more than one heart!

Comment: Thank you so so much for the sweetest Christmas in July happy mail! I love the mail art and the folder decoration, and the way you put everything together is just gorgeous. I appreciate that you even used Christmas stamps <3 Finally, all the goodies are so cute, I'm excited to use them but also tempted to hoard them, haha. We don't do anything for Christmas in July (well we used to have friends over but of course can't do that now) - but I agree that Christmas crafting is fun at any time :D

Comment: Ok so I’m actually kind of speechless! Receiving the package you carefully orchestrated felt more like an actual gift than a swap. Everything was so tailored to me! I loved the food themed mail art, the recipes, the food stickers and the handmade recipe holder! Additionally, the note you wrote was decorated beautifully. Thank you for being so thoughtful and taking them time to send me such a caring treat!

Comment: The mail art envelope you sent is stunning! I love the color scheme, with purple/pink/turquoise and using the lettering tape was brilliant. I love the glitter! Thanks very much for making this especially for me. xo

Thank you for the delightful little bundle of surprises you sent me for the April IFM WTA. I appreciate the time and care you put into choosing things especially for me, and your GORGEOUS mail art is just breathtaking. I very much like everything you sent, and I know just the place for that glittery rainbow uni-kitten: it's the perfect birthday card for my college roommate! It does make me smile and smile. You're such a sweetie--thanks again!
