Hi, I'm Kendra. I'm returning to Swap-bot after a long hiatus. I am a mom of three and a full-time social worker.

Because time is limited and life is busy, I try to incorporate small acts of creativity into my days. I really enjoy snail mail for that reason.

Besides snail mail, I love drawing, painting, collage, art journaling, glue books, and learning new crafts and techniques! I enjoy receiving mail from people who put a lot of effort into their swaps, I love hand-lettering, stickers, washi tape, happy quotes, and interesting postage on my mail.

I look forward to making new friends
