About Me

I am an American living in Japan who misses receiving mail! I like to do crafty things and would like an excuse to use my sewing machine more. :)

Mostly I just like to think that the world is a small place! Since I'm from the US I am especially fond of swappers who send from other countries, and if any swappers want to remain penpals or exchange more personally, I'd love to do that!

If anyone is from Spain, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cereal called Extra with chocolate and hazelnuts. ;) I believe they also have this in France.
