2021 Word of the Year: UNAPOLOGETIC

I'm a 40 year old single disabled queer femme. Mama to two teens. Writer, performer, educator. Lover of crows and ravens, the ocean, the moon, glitter, mermaids and sirens, dark purple, teal blue, mustard yellow, beautiful rocks, and all things magical! Avid reader and art-er.

I joined and started 'swapping' as I really, really love both sending and receiving "happy mail!" I feel like the art of mail has been lost to many, and for me there's not much more lovely than opening up my mailbox and seeing something that isn't a bill or an ad! I look forward to swapping with you!

This will be my first birthday (June) and Christmas single in a while, so in any gift-based swaps if you'd like to gift-wrap items I'll save them so I have something to open on holidays!

For child-based swaps: My child at home is 14 years old and loves cats, turtles, and rainbows. Other likes include D&D, fantasy books, jokes/funny things, and things related to poop (sigh, I know).

*Art Journaling *Jewelry making *Doodles *Watercolor *Making custom-spoons (for disabled/ill folks) and other talisman-like items *Happy mail *Resin *Mixed Media art

Wanting to get into (or start doing again): *Metal stamping *Button making

Foods need to be dairy-free and gluten-free if possible as I've got some dietary restrictions due to medical reasons.

*Alice in Wonderland (the original) *Cloudburst *Dirty Dancing *Juno *Away We Go

I'd love to get any of the following things: *old sewing patterns *raven/crow items *moon items *vintage book pages, especially in other languages or with illustrations of any sort on them *any sort of vintage ephemera - especially medical ephemera (also tickets, photos, advertisements, game pieces, etc.) *rice paper to use in art journal *funky random things I can turn into earrings, or fun dangly earrings
