About Me

Hello! I'm Jessica, 43 years old, & living in California, USA. I'm a witchy goth crazy cat lady who is beyond introverted. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Favorite Colors: black, dark grey, teal (the darker the better), & purple (the darker the better)

Yes, I am pagan. No, that doesn't mean I want to change that fact.

Please don't send me religious items.


MAILBOX ISSUES (AGAIN)

Most of 2024 the mailboxes at the apartment I live in kept getting broken into. According to the post office in January 2025, it was fixed an could no longer be broken into. Yesterday (March 4, 2025) it was proven that they could be broken into still.

In short, I may take a bit longer to rate as we have no idea from day to day on where we pick the mail up - at the mailbox or the post office.

You may ask why do I not just get a PO Box. I cannot afford $100 every 6 months for that up front. If you can, great. But I cannot.


SWAPS I HOST IN 2025

I have decided I will only be hosting color decos swaps in the future. Starting in January 2025 they will be

* March - Your Favorite Color
* April - Green
* May - Yellow

* December - Nothing. If you owe a swap somewhere catch up!


DECOS I'VE GOTTEN BACK

I've realized I haven't been keeping up with the ones I have gotten home. I am so grateful to the folks who have sent one of mine back to me. I hope in 2025 I can make an album for them. Saying thanks tho other then this might be hard as I forget such things. However I am going to try to improve on that!

Rating & Hosting Swaps

I am a pretty easy going host. I know life gets in the way. That being said - RATE YOUR SWAPS PLEASE! I am not going to chase you down to see if you sent & if you're partner has received. You are an adult & I shouldn't have to treat you like you where a child. If you have issues with your partner read further please.

  • CONTACT ME for any reason. I don't care what it is - if you need to contact me then do so.
  • Please wait 2 weeks until after the mailing deadline to worry about your swap being received by you or your partner. Mail has been weird in the US since 2016 - even before then.
  • If you have tried to get your partner to send to you & they have ignored you, they said they sent but you haven't gotten it, etc contact me about it please! I will help you get your swap somehow.

I could add so many instances where you SHOULD contact me about a swap, but these are the most important ones. I take my job as a hostess seriously; help me to help you if you need/want it.

I know I could have worded this differently. However the word part of my brain isn't working well as usual.
