UPDATE Oct 2026

I've been an active snail-mailer since 2005 when I joined postcardx, and I really miss that old site! With three kiddos (ages 3, 2 and 5 months) my life is crazy and wonderful, but I also really want to get back into my old crafting hobbies, including paper craft and snail mail along with my quilts, crochet, and knitting.

My favorite thing is to experience something new. That could be books, movies, traveling, crafts, etc. For my 30th birthday I went skydiving (among many other things, but that was the most memorable). I will try anything once!

I am allergic to cats.

List of likes: Gnomes, mushrooms, pink flamingos, clownfish (real, not nemo), classic literature, learning languages, HALLOWEEN!, how-to's, gardens, hikes, stars, mythology, egyptology, mythology, Astrology (I am a Libra), art, Brian Andreas, trees, movies, stamps, dogs, recipes, travel guides, anything eclectic.

****Special note: My one and three ratings are from over 5 years ago. After coming back, I have reached out to all those who are still on swap-bot. There were 5 swaps missing, all have been re-sent: Two have changed their ratings (Magpie journal, Christmas Gift), and one other has been sent but not changed her rating (Tree ATC). The remainder are electronic swaps, which I have sent by both swap-bot message and by email. It would have been much easier to start a new profile from scratch, but I'm here to do the work, instead. Thank you.

Journaling and papercrafts. I love my bullet journal and anything I can put in it (if you have a favorite spread, send it my way!).

Sewing clothes and quilting! **It is my goal to make a quilt out of fabric from around the world, So if you'd like to send me fabric, anything from scraps to fat quarters or ANYthing would be appreciated!!!

Crochet and knit! I love vintage patterns and odd-type yarns.

Reading is my favorite. I love to read and would love to hear what you're reading now or what you think I should read. Really!

I've always liked fantasy, but lately have been reading contemporary fiction, thrillers, and non-fiction for my book club (social justice issues, usually).

Favorites:

-The Hobbit by JRR Tolkein (I actually collect different editions of the hobbit, I have 9 now)

-Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

-My favorite romance author is Stephanie Laurens

-The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman (or anything by her, really)

I'm not picky, and I'll love whatever you send. But if you'd like specifics:

Fabric! Scraps, fat quarters, whatever. Anything for my "Quilt Around the World"

Postcards - I love any postcard but especially unique/strange cards, adcards in other languages, or vintage (like, OLD. pre-1950). I prefer my postcards "naked," stamped, and written on.

I also really love stamps! Used or not, old or new. I have a binder I keep them all in.

Journal embellishments: stickers, washi tape, etc.

If you send blank notecards or postcards they will likely get sent or used to make something else, which is always fun.

Crochet/Knit patterns.
