I love to read, knit, read, listen to music, have interesting conversations, meet new people, and create things. I'm a huge fan of random acts of kindness.

If you need ideas for what to write to me for a swap, I am always interested in what you are reading, what music you are listening to, and favorite quotations.

If you don't receive a swap from me please let me know as soon as possible. I send all packages with delivery confirmation (within US) and am willing to resend postcards/letters/swaps if they are not received. If you have any problem, please contact me. Thank you.

I rate the same day I receive any swaps.

• Red and orange are my favorite colors. I also like Florida Gator colors (orange and blue), Slytherin colors (dark green and silver/gray), and anything rainbow.

• Anything related to the Florida Gators.

• Political items. Political Science is my degree so I'm interested in all political parties worldwide but I am not interested in receiving biased materials. For example, official campaign materials such as stickers or buttons advertising candidates/parties are great. Literature slamming an opposing candidate/party is not.

• Alice In Wonderland (especially items related to the original artwork or Disney's animated version).

• Quotations (I collect them). Religious verses are fine. I'd love for you to tell me why the quote/verse is meaningful to you.

• Mix CDs (I love discovering new music to listen to) or a playlist of what you're listening to right now would be great also.

• Currency from outside the U.S. (I collect it).

• Scorpio related items (my zodiac sign).

• Harry Potter related items, especially Slytherin.

• Anything handmade. I love seeing what other people create!

• Handwritten letters (or simply a short note).

• Handmade soap (especially mint, citrus, or French Lavender).

• Religious Items: This is tricky because I adore prayer cards and cards with saints or the Virgin Mary on them. I adore religious iconography. I'm not interested in converting to a religion though so those items would be better off with someone else. (As a side note I am NOT offended if you tell me to have a blessed day, or may God be with you, or you offer to say a prayer for me if I am going through a hard time. I always find it a touching gesture.)

• Halloween items. It's my favorite day (besides my birthday, also in October). Pumpkins, ghosts, vintage witches, I love it all.

• The Nightmare Before Christmas--especially Sally.

• Witchy items. Tarot cards, oracle cards, crystals, incense, oils, candles, herbs, readings, etc. I am an eclectic witch (for over 20 years). No worries about me sending any witchy related items your way unless you specifically ask.

• Washi tape. I've become addicted. I'm always happy to receive samples and see it added to envelopes and postcards.

• Alice in Wonderland
• Astrology
• Autumn
• Broadway
• Coffee
• Crystals
• The Decemberists
• Doctor Who
• Feminism
• Florida Gators
• Foo Fighters
• Gilmore Girls
• Harry Potter
• Hamilton (musical)
• Instagram
• John Mayer
• Josh Groban
• Journaling
• Knitting
• The Nightmare Before Christmas
• Origami
• Quotes
• RAKs
• Scorpio
• Shakespeare
• Slytherin
• Sugar Skulls
• Tarot
• Tea
• Tree of Life
• True Crime
• Washi Tape
• The West Wing (show)
• Witchery

• Fragrance: English lavender (it makes me nauseous), baby powder, most florals, and anything that makes me smell like candy.

• Food: I don't like pecans, walnuts, black licorice, white chocolate, or green tea.

• Acrylic yarn: it's fine if you make a small item from it for a swap but I don't knit with it.

• I'm allergic to cigarette smoke and can be sensitive to animals (as long as your pet isn't rolling around on what you're going to send to me, it should be fine).
