Important News! *****!!!!****** OCTOBER & NOVEMBER 2023 !!!!! ***** I went traveling for a couple of months! I planned carefully so that all my swaps were sent out before I left, but I totally did not think about needing to rate in a timely manner! So sorry to be so inconsiderate!!! Please be assured, I will opening and rating everything immediately upon my return home in early December. If you need a rating before then, please send me a message and I will ask my partner at home to help and we will figure it out. Again, my apologies!!

I love collecting stickers,and I discovered swap-bot in my quest for sticker swaps.

I appreciate receiving:

Quality stickers

Stationery of all kinds (letter sets, notecards, postcards, etc.)

Paper-crafting paper (scrapbook paper) & paper die cuts

Sticker bags, label bags

Cute paperclips

Unusual, genuine ephemera, especially old photos or Polaroids or used postcards

Witchy stuff (candles, incense, jewelry, etc.)

Occult literature, imagery

Fine art images

Interesting cut-out images from magazines

Your handmade whatever or original art or ATC

Unused postage

Cute little envelopes, cute big envelopes..

High-quality art supplies (open stock - where you just pick one item instead of getting the whole set - is great! It's usually pretty cheap and I'd love to see what color you pick for me! I love color!) Especially appreciated: Caran D'ache water-soluable crayons.

Pens: kaweco sport, lePen, Papermate Flair also mildliners.

Paint chips

PANTONE

Sexy NSFW (as opposed to violent NSFW) - pin-ups, pasties, she-devils, etc.

Halloween all year!

Pagan stuff, especially seasonal or goddess-related.

Externally, I am cheerful and optimistic. But on the inside, I am witchy, goth, emo, punk, and generally oppositional. However, I am not into horror, ugliness, or cynicism.

Favorite themes, in general: Nature, Forest Animals, Cats, Animals, Celestial, Space, Food, Kawaii, Witchy, Fairy, and Fantasy.

Favorite Sticker Brands: MindWave, Nekoni, and Kamio, Stickii, Mrs Grossman, Violette, Paperhouse, StickerKing, Sticko, and Sandylion. Off-brand is cool, too. I like scratch-n-sniff. I like washi stickers. They're great for decorating envelopes and they're so inexpensive and varied.

Not really into most puffy, 3-d, planner, reward, motivational quote stickers, or Lisa Frank.

I just discovered Kirimi chan from Sanrio. Amazing. There aren't a lot of Kirimi stickers out there, but if you wanted to share any, I'd be thrilled.

Also: sexy witchy, pastel goth, Sumikko Gurashi (favorite is Yama), Rilakkuma (& Korillakuma!), and anything related to the moon, astrology, astronauts, stars, etc., mermaid, unicorn, fairy, fox or bear, she-devil or cute demons, dragons, Alice in Wonderland, thistles, dandelions, pomegranates, or banana peels, please. Also Bigfoot and Godzilla. Oh, and anything Mt. Fuji!

I would also love ANY professional- quality art supplies you don't want. (Or unwanted items from Sketchbox or ArtSnacks boxes)

Pencil pouches and other cute storage devices are always welcome.

My favorite holiday is Halloween, followed by New Years, Groundhog's , and Valentine's... and not just chronologically... I'm also into pagan holidays, and full and new moons.

For pagan swaps, I'm more into Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, & Rome. Less into Celtic or Nordic stuff. All about Thelema. Some of my favorite goddesses are Lilith, Persephone, Venus, and Nuit. I'm into astrology and tarot. I'm totally into doing private swaps of spell kits or care packages that are goddess-, tarot-, or planetarily-themed! It seems like most of those groups are not active, so let's not let that stop us. ...

I take all my commitments seriously, and make every effort to send things on time. So far, I have always succeeded. Should an emergency arise that would delay your swap, I promise to communicate in a prompt manner. I also promise to rate within 24 hours of receiving a swap. I mark swaps as sent immediately after sending. If you don't receive a swap, please let me know, and I will be happy to resend! I enjoy making swaps very much, and I don't mind putting together an extra one every now and again. The mail is wacky these days. Please accept my word in good faith that I sent the original when I did and rate accordingly. Your patience is appreciated and reciprocated!
