About Me

I love mail, sending postcards and sharing fun supplies.

I live with my husband and 5 pets: 2 labradors and 3 cats :)

I love swimming, reading, watching tv/movies, cross-stitch/embroidery, walking, the beach, playing games. I play a lot of animal crossing, stardew valley, the My Time series and other cozy games.

I like swapping postcards, notecards, notes, washi, stickers and tea (only herbal tea, not black or rooibos).

Postcards

I prefer artistic cards to touristy cards, but I love all postcards!

Anything in my themes below is especially welcome, but I'm also happy to be surprised in the theme.

Would especially love Padme postcards from the women in Star Wars series if that's something you have.

Themes I love

  • Bees
  • Flowers
  • Seahorses
  • Lighthouses
  • the Beach
  • Animals - real, illustrated, whatever
  • Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing
  • Bookish themes
  • Myths and legends
  • Rainbows
  • Space
  • Bears, Wolves, Polar Bears, Foxes
  • Artwork; van Gogh,
  • Mystical themes like tarot etc
  • Cats & Dogs

I love stickers, washi, postcards and notecards! I also appreciate writing paper and memo paper, and any tarot or similar cards. Please no ribbon, it don't really use it :)

Books

I love a wide variety of books, but i can be picky!

  • Fantasy, particularly urban fantasy but not so much paranormal romance
  • Crime & mystery
  • Cozy crime, mystery and fantasy
  • Romance and life, but not much spice lol

Authors i like; Ilona Andrews, Emily Henry, Tess Gerritson, Richard Osman

Recently read; the Bookshop Detectives - Dead girl gone by Gareth & Louise Ward, and Sanctuary by Ilona Andrews

Swapping

Please don't add extras! I have so many supplies, i'd rather just get what the swap says. Quality over Quantity!! :)

I'll rate as things arrive, and post can be slow. We'll get there! I appreciate every single swap and make sure to rate, but also the magic is in the mail for me - I don't comment a lot/discuss much here on swap bot.

I try to just sign up for swaps that really interest me. As my life has gotten busier, I no longer have penpals, but still love mail.

Comment: 🧙‍♂️🐲 Love your postcard! I was so happy to see you were my partner because I just knew you were going to send a fabulous postcard from New Zealand and you did not disappoint! I hope you get to Hobbiton on your next visit up north and you can be sure if I ever get the opportunity to visit New Zealand, I will also make it my mission to visit Hobbiton!! Until then, I can only visit via the website and google reviews, lol!! Thanks for joining the swap. I'm glad the postcard made it in time to celebrate!! xxMuggleMom

Comment: What a super fun constellations card!! I love it 🥰 and the fun stamps you chose to send it, too! I haven’t seen any of these LOTR NZ stamps before and I absolutely LOVE the 10¢ frosty looking tree one! I just wish it was just as big as the LOTRs stamps 😂 We have been having way more nights with the northern lights visible than we typically do….I absolutely loooove them 💕 I’m not familiar with the southern cross constellation…I wonder if it’s the one called “Cygnus” on the front of this postcard…that one looks like a cross. The constellations that are easy to spot for us, and on clear nights always visible, are the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. (Which are both featured on the front of this postcard even!💕)
Response: I'm so glad you liked it, it's such a nice card and glad you enjoyed the stamps, i thought you might not have seen the LOTR ones before, they are really neat. Happy spotting!! :)

Your lovely Christmas mail arrived safely today. It was such a pleasure to open the nicely decorated envelope and see the cute Christmas card with your kind note, the beautiful extra postcards and washi tapes. Thank you ever so much!

Hope you keep in good health. How I love LOTR & The Hobbit. Makes me feel like crying that ban on US mail. & I understand about International travel as FL is having spike in COVID-19, Omicron, & other variants. Sigh. Then, France med investigators found another,...when will it end? & I can't send to you thru my pen friends in other countries. OK, so in the meantime, working on future sends/swaps. - Kathy
