Update, Sept 2018: After a hectic few months, I'm finally back to swapping again!

Longtime snailmailer, (relatively) new to Swap-Bot

In addition to snail mail, I love podcasts (On Point with Tom Ashbrook and Judge John Hodgman are my favorites!) and buying too many indoor plants. During the day I work in the medical field, doing clinical research!

Amateur tree-hugger

Likes: vintage ephemera, anything with a postal/airmail theme, washi tape, puzzles of all sorts (crosswords, jigsaw puzzles, Ken Ken, sudoku etc.), running and hiking, traveling and exploring new places.

Dislikes: kawaii, glitter.

Favorite colors: purple, blue, and red.

Postcards: My favorite postcards often have scenes from nature or vintage ads. I also love patterned postcards, travel postcards, and B&W postcards. As long as it isn’t depicting something cruel or vulgar I will enjoy receiving it.

• Anything paper-related: mail art, collage, art journals.
• Mixed media
• Acrylics
• Cross-stitch

I love putting together a package or picking a postcard based on what I think/hope someone will like. There's nothing better than opening your mailbox after a long day and seeing a letter or a package with your name on it!

If you are ever upset with what you've received, please send me a message and I will be happy to try again! Similarly, if you haven't received a swap and it's been a while since I marked it as "sent", contact me and I will send again.
