Hi!! My name is Amanda and I love to send fun stuff to my penpals and you can always find me in my craft room creating some hot mess. I have a daughter who is 2, shes amazing of course. I also have 2 dogs that are a huge ball of energy. I enjoy all sorts of music and love getting playlists from people. I also love book recommendations. Im addicted to washi tape and card making stamps. I love to learn about religions/ Spiritual beliefs. I grew up learning Christianity from my parents but my Grandpa believes in the Metaphysics and reincarnation which fascinates me.

I recently "retired" as my husband would say to stay at home with my daughter. It has been an amazing journey so far.

You can always find me on instagram @mandasmail were i post all of my envelope are and penpal/swap-bot related things.

Hmm.. Its hard for me to list Favorite music because I love it all, anything 90's is a must. Turn on some 2010's emo music and i can throw down with the best of them. Rap i got you in my playlist too. I will literally jam to whatever you play.

Some things I’d rather not receive include:

Religious material specifically Christian

Not a huge kawii fan

Sticky notes

If you can tell me where this quote came from we are best friends "Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great... You have no power over me."

Also huge fan of the older Disney movies. 2000 and under. Littler Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast are my jams.

Robinhood Men in Tights is also a favorite of mine.

I LOVE Survivor! One of my bucket list items is to be on survivor but i will settle for just meeting Jeff Probst.

I also like LivePD/Live Rescue, Any animal vet shows, Gilmore Girls, and i spend a lot of time watching YouTube which i know isn't TV but I'm pretty sure Youtube gets watched more than TV these days.

When I'm crafting, I tend to lean towards papercrafts. I like making cards, letters, and scrapbooking.

However I tend to be a hobby hoarder, so I also loom knit and crochet. I tried my hand at embroidery and cross-stitch, quilting and painting. I'm not particularly good at them though because they take up so much time. I recently took up Cross Stitch and i love it!

While i will love whatever you send me here are some things i really like.

Homemade Disney Fantasy movie poster Cityscapes Erotic Buddha Other religions or beliefs besides Christian

I love all teas and coffee, the only tea i really don't like is turmeric or ginger everything else is good. Dessert teas are my favorite kinds of teas.

I have recently started collecting stamps. No real specific type yet, but it you want to send me any i like unused and used stamps from any country.
