11/02/2023 Life is chaos so I'm out of town for a while to take care of some things, so I'll be very slow here - please let me know if there are any issues!

10/27/2023 Mail is erratic and I just received like 50 pieces of mail all of a sudden 😅 I don't have the time right now to open and rate everything, so please hold! Thank you to everyoneeee

9/9/2023 Sooo my apartment mailroom has flooded... so incoming (and some outgoing) mail is a bit erratic - please let me know if there are any issues :>

8/15/2023 I'm in the process of getting my account merged with an old from 2015 that I forgot about - super sorry for the inconvenience!! I've resolved as much as I can but the merge is taking a while :> If you have any questions or concerns, I totally understand or please feel free to message me! * Old profile: https://www.swap-bot.com/user:lillilstar

FYI about the 1s: One of the partners is inactive and the other requested to not get the resend :) Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

• I've been a crafty kid all my life and am back in the world of deco journaling with stickers. I also poke at cross stitch, illustration, and watercolor sometimes.
• I am semi-literate in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese :>
• Traveling is one of my favorite things to do :> I work in technology so I can work from almost anywhere, which means I frequently run to new cities and hang out there for a little bit. I've also done a lot of traveling/living in Asia so I've accumulated quite a bit of Asian stationery~
• I spend most of my days on my computer in coffee shops around the area - I love cafes and bakeries and can spend many hours every day hanging out in them
• I'm passionate about productivity and self-improvement hehe. I still am not great at a lot of things but I am addicted to planning, lists, and recently Notion!
• Please feel free to message me about anything and I'd be happy to take anything you'd think I'd like in lieu of any swap requirements if needed :>

• sticker sheets!! Tiny stickers are my jam so don't worry if a swap says to avoid them hehe (but I really can't deal with loose flakes and pieces, unless they're large like at least 1.5 inches) --> even if the sheet is half used or only has a few left, I love stickers hehe
• postcards, art prints that are postcard size --> I really prefer postcards that are not photographs but rather illustrated, watercolored, etc :> Artsy and touristy postcards very welcome~
• also specifically looking for any blank postcards, stickers, anything that has some of my favorite cute lil guys (in a list down below, like pooh, moomin, miffy, etc)
