My name is Jennifer. I’m married to the love of my life. We have two youngish children at home. When we are not chauffeuring them to their various activities I love creating.

I love sewing, paper craft, journaling, scrapbooking and love to try new things. I have a LOT of “stuff” that I’ve bought over the years as well as the things I continue to buy:) I want to start using more of it and absolutely love the ideas of swaps. I used to have pen pals when I was much younger and would swap things in my letters such as stamps, friendship books, stickers, stationary, bags, slams, postcards, deco books... I am open to swapping most things. All of the above, atcs, pocket letters, planner accessories, Julie nutting dolls, fabric, and just about anything else. I collect both postcards and stamps.

I do have other hobbies as well. I enjoy gardening, sports (mostly my children’s now! My favorite teams are the Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Phillies), meteorology, photography, geology (my favorite gems are kyanite, labradorite, tanzanite and citrine) ,animals (I love all animals especially my Maine Coone Jane), ect. As of May 2018 we added our Viszla Parker to the family. She is the cutest little ball of energy Velcro!

My favorite colors are coral, teal, mint green, blush pink and Rose gold.

I am admittedly a little bit geeky and dorky. My favorite shows are Fringe, Person of Interest, Haven, XFiles, the Closer, The Mentalist, Schitt$ Creek, Timeless, Forever and Elementary... I really enjoy crime procedural dramas, altho I don’t watch TV often. My favorite movie is LOTR. I also enjoy some old school musicals.... Flashdance, Footloose and Grease2. I have been on a bit of a hiatus, I’ve played WOW (world of Warcraft) for over a decade. My favorite authors are Patricia Cornwell and Stephen King (The Stand (uncut) being my absolute favorite).

Other favorites- feathers, arrows, pink flamingos, steampunk, clouds, rain, llamas, sheep, octopi, cactus/cacti, mysteries, steampunk, hot air balloons, clouds, rain, umbrellas, Alice in wonderland, Sherlock Holmes, caves, toadstools/mushrooms (not to eat), dream catchers, trees of life, gems/minerals, driftwood, Tilda,buttons.....

The only thing I really would not want is anything x rated or occult. While still art, I have young children and would want my daughter to be able to look too. I’m also not the biggest fan of handmade and vintage postcards.

I have my own soap making company called “Abbalope”. While I mainly sell on ETSY I do have several brick and mortar stores that carry it.

I collect stamps. If possible, please use stamps for postage on any swap to me.

POSTCARD Prefrences- I am actively looking for state maps/birds cards, Tausendschon, FOTW, MOTH, big letters, Lantern Press (and like) postcards have also grown on me. The postal GF cards. Lou Paper. I prefer tourist over cartoonish (unless one of my likes) I’m not a fan of vintage, ad or handmade (I have gotten some really, really beautiful handmade cards. I have also gotten cardboard with stickers slapped on. Saying preference of no homemade is because of the latter). I’ll appreciate anything sent, these are just preferences for the swappers who try to accommodate.:)

I will NEVER under any circumstances flake. If you do not receive something from me, please let me know. I also mark as sent when I drop off at the post office. If it's a Saturday after pick up, it may not be postmarked until Monday.

I rate immediately after returning home from the post office. If I haven’t rated, I haven’t gotten it yet.
