Hello all... My name is Melissa. I have lived in NJ for about 8 years now. I am originally from Brooklyn, NY where I lived the majority of my life. I found out abot Swap-Bot from a post card I received in a kawaii mystery package I won off Listia. I love to get mail that makes me happy- not bills lol. I have a TON of stuff to swap! I can't wait to start.

I love making mini albums as well as 3 dimensional projects. I'm a fan of Kathy Ortas work, & have tried many of the amazing projects created. On that same note, I have entirely too many craft supplies of ALL kinds that I am desperately trying to destash. If you have a particular craft interest and are wanting supplies- please don't be shy & send me a message!

I love organizational items like cute post it notes and page markers, pretty pens, anything that has potential to be helpful as helping me to keep & stay organized. For anyone who knows what it is, I have a LOVE for Sentimental Circus. I can not explain my love for these cute characters. The Wizard of Oz & ANYTHING that could remind me of it are definite loves as well. I also like handmade things of any kind that represent how people are feeling. Rainbows, clouds & other cute happy things. I'm not removed from reality. I know it all too well. I prefer to smile. I understand this isn't always a possibility & I remain open minded.

There are very few things that I can say I plain just don't like- but here are the things that come to mind: - skulls (unless used in art and is simply how you feel). I know Halloween is approaching, but please- don't send me things with skull & crossbones on them for "decoration". It's just not my style. Thank you.

One thing that I do on a regular basis to keep me organized and to have fun while doing it is to decorate each week in my planner. I have an Original Patent Purple Filofax in an A5 size. When I say this is probably the most bright purple I've seen- I mean it! Lol. I love all kinds of unusual or interesting page flags or page markers, lovely pens of all colors, washi and deco tape for my page decorating, clips, stickers small in size, cool post its, small rulers, anything other planner folk keep in their planners they've found they never want to be without & anything a person who decorates their week on 2 pages might use : ) Thank you and God bless!!
