I will try to keep spoilers off my craft Instagram (link above) but it is possible that I will post pictures before you receive the package so look at your own risk!

Hi, my name is Jenny!

I joined Swap-Bot years ago, but had to give it up because of time & mailbox issues. I solved my missing mail issue by switching to a PO Box. Since I am the only one with access there is no more worry of roommates miss placing my mail. Although I have not entirely solved the time issue, there just never seems to be enough of that stuff, I have decided I need to better prioritize activities that make me happy for my mental health. (I might be an overly anxious workaholic)

I am in my late twenties (trying to enjoy every last minute of it). I work a full time boring office job at a tech-based company. My schooling and passion is in wedding/event planning. I stay involved in weddings whenever I can. Currently I am building an informative blog/website that I hope to have fully functional by February. For now, I will be focusing on the history of wedding traditions and how to refresh them for the modern bride.

I love to travel and don't feel I have very deep roots in any one place. I was born and raised in California, I went to school in Arkansas, and currently reside in Georgia.

• Mint is always a favorite

My mother and sister also love teas, so even if I don't absolutely love it they might or I'll re-swap, so really don't stress too much about tea flavors.

Candies

• Peanut butter!
• Coconut
• I'm not a huge chocolate person, but I do love dark chocolate, peanut butter + chocolate, and mint + chocolate
  .

Dislikes

Do NOT like

• Camouflage of any form!
• Hearts (a few won't kill me, but I tend not to buy anything for myself with hearts on it unless its Valentine's day and they're made of candy)
• Cats (I'm more of a dog person, and find cats annoying)
• Neon colors
• Tie Dye look
• Emojis
• 'Country' style (excluding modern farmhouse motifs, and rustic shabby chic, I like those)
• Anime, Manga, or Kawaii
• Gory/Horror
• Dollar store items
  .

Please Do Not Send
Any thing with snakes! No matter how "cute" you think it is, I won't like it! I have such a mad phobia I don't even like to hear people talk about them, so that's enough of that.
.
Allergies

• Lavender/Lilac both flavor and sent
• Pineapple (still sad about this one, used to be my fave)
• Pork
• Smoke / Incense / Strong aromas (I have asthma)
• Cat hair

EVERYTHING! Well not really but it seems like it sometimes.

• Paper crafts [unique stationary, scrap-booking, homemade decor, ...] Usually involving my Cricut
• Pyrography (aka wood burning)
• Painting (acrylic & watercolor)
• Sewing
• Baking & Cooking
• Making Chocolate 'art' [mostly chocolate in nerdy shapes]
• Photography [vintage Polaroids, mini photo printer, digital images, and editing]
• my Bullet Journal/Planner
• Other random arts & crafts projects.

I've never met a craft I didn't like. Sometimes I'm not very good or my OCD takes over and I can't complete it to my own high standards... but I love learning new skills, so I'll try anything once.

I love reading and listening to audiobooks! Comparing the length of this list to either my movie or TV list makes me look like an illiterate boob-tube junkie. Really I'm just much more selective as to what is a 'favorite' book.

I go directly to the post office to send & pick up the mail at least 3 times a week. (I have to go for my job, so you know two birds and all...)

I promise to rate the swaps I receive the same day I pick them up. If I haven't rated that means I haven't received the swap yet.

For packages sent with more than postage stamps, I always get a tracking number and will share it with my partner once it has been sent.

If any of my mail ever arrives postage due, please let me know and I will send you stamps to cover the cost. I've been at the 13 oz happy mail game for awhile so I stay vigilant to postal guidelines but I'm human meaning I have the potential to screw up.

Please share with me any issues or concerns you have so I can do whatever I can to remedy the situation!
