About Me

March/April, 2024: I am taking a Swap break. The platform isn't bringing me joy at the moment & what fun is that? I am completing my last few swaps & will ensure I rate but my login activity will be less frequent.

For the basics I am a 40 something, married, dog mom & marketing professional. I have lived in Michigan for about 17 years but grew up outside of Toronto where a lot of my family still lives.

I'm not easily offended (though really prefer nothing religious), cards with sweary puns can for sure come my way. I love swapping & have a handful of regular penpals. I give hearts freely and don't worry about postmarks or delays, life happens. I alway send & if I am going to be late I will let you know so if you haven't received, please let me know & I will resend.

Likes:

  • Stickers - Stickii or Pips are perfect! (I'd prefer nothing to glittery, planner or reward stickers for kids). I also love older stickers like Lisa Frank, Suzy Zoo, old cartoons, etc.!

  • Christmas (my favorite holiday!)

  • Fall (my favorite season)

  • Dogs (I have two rescues, a 3 year old & a 12 year old, both retriever mixes)

  • Wine (I love wine humor)

  • Travel (Pre-COVID I traveled a lot for work but have been pretty grounded for the past couple of years. Favorite places: Paris, London, NYC, Montreal, Napa & Sonoma)

  • Reading (a lot of mindless Chick Lit to unwind but also like historical fiction, biography & mystery)

  • Peloton (I hope to pick this one up more in 2024)

  • Walking (Lots of great trails around my house!)

  • Chocolate (Any & All)

  • Coffee Addict

  • Gummy Bears

  • Harry Potter (Gryffindor)

  • Kawaii (No real preference on type)

  • Vintage Items (produced to look vintage or the real thing!). The marketer in me really likes vintage ads!

  • Any & All Stationary Supplies (I love Cavallini Papers & Co., Archer & Olive, Emma & Kate, Cloth & Paper and Simply Gilded)

  • My favorite color is Blue (Specifically Navy) - I love all things nautical!

  • Pens (I love a good pen!)

  • Fun Playing Cards (Really love vintage, travel themed & airline cards!)

  • Postcards (Any of the above mentioned themes + Disney/Pixar, Fun Shapes, Maps, Wine Dogs, Lantern Press, etc.)

Dislikes:

  • Products for Kids (unless a book on my Amazon wish list)

  • Cats

  • Bugs / Gross

  • Religious Items

  • Not a big tea drinker

  • Americana

  • Licorice

  • Jelly Beans

  • Knitting

  • Cross-Stitch

  • Painting

  • Running

  • Football

Favorite Crafts

  • Not sure if washi collecting is considered a craft but if it is - it's my favorite! I have a serious hoarder problem with washi & buy it all the time!

  • I love learning new things including new ways to create paper pockets or envelopes - please send any tips or tricks!

  • Scrapbooking

  • Card-Making

  • Stamping

  • Bullet / Junk Journaling - If you have any fun YouTube follows, please let me know!

Thank you for the wonderful kawaii gifts. The memo pad is the first new one I've had in quite a while and the design is new to me. And magnetic bookmarks always get a good workout around here.
