About Me

I started my crafting journey July 2019 by joining various Facebook groups and absolutely fell in love with creating and swapping. There’s nothing like sending and receiving handcrafted things. Super excited to be a part of the swapbot community!

More About Me

I'm married with no kids. We adopted 2 cats in July 2020 and it’s been an experience since. I live near Madison, where there are lots of parks and lakes and it's absolutely gorgeous on nice spring, summer, and fall days. When I'm not writing penpal letters or crafting, I'm baking, cooking, reading light romance books, or watching random YouTube videos.

I did start a YouTube channel (linked above) where I showcase some hauls, incoming mail, and outgoing mail. I’m a very shy person so I started this channel in hopes of getting more comfortable speaking. I also have a blog that I update once in awhile as well as an Instagram page where I post crafts I dabble in. If you also have an Insta, I would be honored if we followed each other!

Likes

I like anything cute. Cute is absolutely my kryptonite when buying things to create crafts. Things from brands like Doodlebug, Lawn Fawn and Sunny Studios are what you'll find in my craft closet. I've stumbled upon some Etsy stores that sell cute things as well, especially for penpal letters.

I also love florals, disney characters, and anything sparkly. I do cuss a little ;)…okay, a fair bit lol so not offended by anything that contains adult language.

My favorite colors are purple, teal, and pink. I enjoy other colors too, but these are my top 3.

Favorite Holidays for Crafting: Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. If you’re into these holidays as well, I typically host a couple of craft-related swaps during these seasons.

Dislikes

While I like Halloween crafting, I'm not much for horror or gory.

Extras are thoughtful but absolutely not required for hearts!

Please no religious items! Or vintage - not really a fan.

Final Thoughts

In cases where you haven't received my mail within a reasonable amount of time, please contact me directly. It may be that it was simply lost in the mail, as that can happen.

If I haven’t rated you within a reasonable timeframe, please reach out. It may be that I may have accidentally forgotten to save as I access swapbot via phone.

I am open to personal 1:1 swaps. If you’d like to swap with me, please reach out!

Comment: Hello, and thank you for sharing your weekend plans with me. The stickers ... 10/10 and that washi...I need it. Extra hearts for your handwriting that looks like a for real font choice! Cheese drawers? WHAT? Yes please. Hope the hubby pulled off brunch - life is better with partners who add brunch to your life :). Be well, and many best wishes.

Comment: I like my own space best. Peopling seems fun until I actually have to do people.

Comment: Both my son and my daughter would agree with you regarding the cat water and feeder. We had cats before they were available, and OMG the drama of a hungry/thirsty cat?! We had one that would leave behind one bit of kibble and meow over it for hours.

Comment: We are lucky enough to have art created by relatives, too, and some of those relatives are no longer with us, so it is especially meaningful now.

Comment: I'm excited to head to the Dane County Farmers Market myself. I carry a lot of cheese out of state (we're so spoiled in WI)! PS: until you corrected your writing, I was trying to figure out what font you use, your handwriting is splendid!

Comment: I love all the green envelopes you've used. I shall send you a photo later of the art journal page that I made using pieces from your envelopes. They inspired me. Thanks for sharing about your love of books, too!

Comment: I love the postcard extra, too. And I love how you decorated your envelope, Of course, this was not the first letter in the series that arrived to me, more about the 10th to arrive. Thanks!

Comment: First off, thank you for the paper and cute stickers and washi. Also, thank you for sharing about the eclipse with me! I am in Florida so we did not see lots of it but I was able to look at it because my co-worker let me borrow her glasses for a minute!

Comment: Loved your pen pal letter. Exactly what ;puts me in a great mood. I feel for you about trying a new recipe and it just doesn't "fit" into our palate. Yeah, I suck it up too, unless I feel the outside wildlife may enjoy it better (even then, at times, they wont even pick at it, and than we know it was bad). Thank you for the very cute stickers and labels you sent. I LOVED the stationery you used, snail on top of a mailbox. Do you recall where you got it?
Response: Yay! I’m glad you enjoyed it. The paper is from CreativePaperStudios on Etsy! 💖

Comment: Nope, not sick of hearing from you. I was blessed with a lovely MIL. My husband's is a bit tricky, though, with lots of "suggestions".

Comment: Ugh! I too, have a terrible sense of direction, exits roll themselves up and disappear if I take a wrong one. And Chicago does something something nasty to me every time I'm there.

Comment: Girl! You make an amazingly fantastic swap! I'm floored! Your washi is so vibrant and adorable. I will definitely check out those shops. Your snarky sticker made me laugh so laugh I scared my husband 🤣. Thank you so much for brightening my day! P.s. where did you find your address label??? It's the most amazing one I have seen!
Response: I can’t remember which address label I used haha but if you liked the stickers and would like address labels, please check out the Kristi’s Printables page on Facebook (lots of free goodies) and for purchase, she has a store on eBay called “Stickers by Kristi”. Hope this helps! 😊

Comment: Thank you for your fun and descriptive letter. Your notepaper is great, but mostly I am OBSESSED with your handwriting! It is so clear, so even, so uniform. Wow! It reminds me of my best friend's handwriting. She is uber-organized, I bet you are too!
