Hi everyone! I’m 26 and live in Ireland (am originally from the UK!) I recently discovered penpaling and love it - especially all the cute washi & stickers.

I also love music (everything really but especially country!), reading (am trying to read 52 books this year), documentaries, movies, cats, flowers and the colour pink ☺️

Can’t wait to write to some of you!

Really varied TV watcher! Love everything from crime shows (Bones, NCIS, Law and Order SVU ect) to reality shows like Love Island. Also a adore This Is Us and any drama with a good storyline!

And can’t go wrong with a good documentary - especially anything Netflix has made, so good!

I’ve listened to mainly country music for the past 12 years (which was an unusual genre for a teenage British girl to get into!).

Love listening to all singers but some favourites include: Alison Krauss, Shania Twain, Dolly Parton, Maren Morris, Miranda Lambert, Eli Young Band, Thomas Rhett, Dan+ Shay & of course, Taylor Swift!

Most chart music or pop release is also usually a hit with me. Try & keep my genres varied

Other hobbies I’ve ‘picked up’ during the pandemic include jigsaw puzzles (so relaxing!) and modern miniatures.

I redecorated my childhood dolls house & had so much fun doing all the research ☺️

This also led me to discover Maileg and now I've started to collect pieces from the brand.

I'm also obsessed with pretty cards - birthday, congratulations, general pretty designs, everything and all. I try not to 'collect' them as I think beautiful things should be used and sent to bring others joy as well, but I definitely have a very sizeable stash at all times and keep ordering more (oops!).

I'm not very 'crafty' but love using stickers, tape and colourful pens to make cards and envelopes pretty.

And if these involve any cute animals or flowers in a lovely pale shade (pink/blue/yellow love it all!) then I can't resist!

Also, it may not be a 'craft' but I enjoy doing colouring books from time to time and also Sudokos (another lockdown discovery - anything to pass the time right!)

I'm a HUGE Christmas lover. I'd decorate the house in September if I could and can't get enough of cute pieces for my home.

Sending festive stationery is another big joy of the season (all those pretty ribbons, stickers, labels and tapes) and I've always spent years researching and writing the perfect cards for family and friends - long before i knew this community was a thing!

This year I've definitely jumped on the bandwagon more and decorated for each one so far - I don't particularly like Halloween but enjoy the cosy aspects of 'fall' around the season :)
