Note as of July 13 2021: I will be taking a brief break from Swap-bot for the month of August and possibly September while I move and get settled into a new place. I'll stick check messages and such, but won't be doing any swaps during that time.

2021 Word of the Year: UNAPOLOGETIC

I'm a 41 year old single disabled queer femme. Mama to two teens. Writer, performer, educator. Lover of crows and ravens, the ocean, the moon, ferns and forest things, glitter, mermaids and sirens, dark purple, teal blue, mustard yellow, beautiful rocks/shells/sticks, 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 holiday season 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 15 years old and loves cats, turtles, and rainbows. Other likes include D&D, fantasy books, and Minecraft.

NOTE Due to my disability and chronic health issues, I on occasion have things unexpectedly come up that impact a swap getting out on time (either symptoms or an unexpected medical procedure being needed, etc). If this happens I will contact you as soon as possible and let you know. I appreciate the partners who have been understanding of this in the past,.
