Please, send me a message if I missed rating you. I'm caught up as of now.

Looking for new slam and/or TPC swappers within the USA!

I swap slams, bags, x-slips, FBs, TPCs, decos, lyrix, friendship sheets, and crams. I especially love FAT and notebook slams.

I'm always up for new pen-pals, esp. if we share things in common.

36 years old, married, childfree, LGBTQ+ ally, 420 friendly, atheist, animal lover. I'm introverted, intuitive, and a good listener if you need one.

I LOVE PINK! Love bright stereotypically girly patterns and designs, especially if they're glittery or sparkly. My fashion icon is Elle Woods in Legally Blonde hahaha.

I am very liberal with my heart giving, because life is short and this site should be a source of kindness, not stress. Like for real, isn't it always a bit of a disappointment when you don't get a heart? (Especially when you worked hard on a swap, picked out the perfect sticker for the envelope, etc.!) And people shouldn't feel like they have to bribe you with extras for a heart! Along that same line of thinking, I'm pretty chill; if you're going to be late with a swap, let me know. Let me know if it's already late because you had other things going on and you forgot (no need to make up an excuse!)... Communication is key!

People who get really anal about swap guidelines, please take a breath and move on.

I love to read, write, bullet journal, watch TV/movies/YouTube, travel and explore, cook, play trivia, go for walks, listen to music, and just enjoy life. I've experienced a lot of tragedy and trauma in my life, so I really seek to find the good in all situations.

I love all animals. I have two puppies who are sisters, Lucy and Ruthie, and two cats, Biscuit and Girl Cat. I have several pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge: Daisy, the best companion and friend; McLovin, the coolest cat I've ever met; Leela, my one-eyed feline friend; Mantequilla who died as a kitten due to feline leukemia; and two guinea pig gals named Henrietta and Gertrude.

I kindly ask you to consider adoption when adding a new furry family member. You can also reach out to me with questions if you are a first-time dog or cat owner.

Items I'd be love to receive:

• Sanrio, San-X, or other Kawaii type stationery
• actually, any stationery or notecards
• LIsa Frank items... especially vintage!
• bullet journal or planner doodads
• nice pens
• sealed cat or dog treats
• memo sheets
• reusable/metal straws
• cute dish towels or tea towels
• cute potholders
• anything from World Market
• anything w/ unicorns, otters, or narwhals
• puffy stickers
• anything FRIENDS, Mean Girls, or Golden Girls
• bubble bath
• anything personalized with Amanda or Carlos on it
• artwork made by you or poetry written by you
• handwritten/tried and true recipes
• zines or mini-zines
• washi tape
• anything '90s related- any ephemera would be awesome
• playlists
• blank notebooks or journals
• blind bag toys
• scrunchies
• unused postage stamps
• sealed eye shadows, nail polish, and other makeup
• anything 420 related
• a packet of hot cocoa
• anything chocolate
• hardtack candies (I call them sucky candies lol)
• bandaids with cute designs

PLEASE NO: * location postcards or magnets (I like to document my own travels instead) * body lotions * religious/political materials * used postage stamps * ATCs * items w/ cigarette smoke * fragrant items * low-quality pens (I'm very particular)

Here is what I swap in terms of books, bags, slips, sheets, etc.

FBs/FS: not my favorite but I'll still play and pass on

decos: I can handle a few at a time. I do not have the patience or talent for HQ/NN.

lyrix: love them, no limit

slams: love them, no limit

sticker books: love them, no limit

TPCs: love them, send me ALL the TPCs!

bags: not a big fan of label bags... seems like it's a perpetual cycle, take the labels out of the label bag to make more label bags... I don't like used postage, ATC, or postcard bags. No limit to sticker, wishlist, xslip, goodie, memo bags. I love weirdly specific/quirky/unique bags.

xslips: send them all to me. For some reason I find xslips fascinating to read even if I don't participate in every single one (I'll pass them on) I just think they're cool ephemera to read over. It's fascinating how every slip maker does their slips a little differently, some type them, some hand write them, etc...
