Please note: I mail from a very small, very rural post office (population 1100) and I feel like sometimes my mail gets held on to before being sent out. They also hold onto incoming packages for several days before delivering (don’t get me started). PLEASE message me if you don’t receive my swap. I always follow up within two weeks of sending either way and re-send replacement swaps WITH TRACKING.

Hello! I am a 33 year old living in the Midwest for the next few months! I currently live on a hobby farm with my best friend and a slew of animals! I work in healthcare full time and will be a returning adult student next year. I love to paper craft and own my own crochet small business. I make everything from wearables to blankets to amigurumi. I am the human slave to two 10 year old sphynx cats, Arthur and Cleo. I work night shift so I have a LOT of free time on my hands for hobbies and am a bit of serial hobby collector.

A random list of the things I love: bullet journaling, writing letters, strong coffee, big salads, sphynx cats/any cats (I serve two.), houseplants, Halloween, stationery, TJ Maxx, energy drinks, reading and collecting books, junk journaling, spooky/paranormal things, kawaii things, skincare, crochet, crafting in general, and trying new recipes to name a few!

I also collect beaver themed items for my dad as well as giraffe themed items for my mom.

I really gravitate towards spooky/witchy anything if the option is available! It’s either spooky or cute and pastel. I am a major collector of yarn and crochet accoutrements as well. Some of my favorite characters are Sanrio/San-X anything, Moomin, Doctor Who, Bobs Burgers, and King of the Hill, Derry Girls, What We Do in the Shadows.

• Disney unless vintage, rose or herbal scented things, essential oils, holiday things (except Halloween), religious items, white chocolate, Turkish delight, green tea/matcha, black licorice, loose glitter/confetti, sticky things, cigarette smoke, friendship books/passable things.

Allergies: nickel

I love both physical books and using my kindle! I collect editions that are special to me specifically. I love post-apocalyptic reads, horror, thriller/suspense, fantasy, and science fiction. Some of my favorite books/series are: Fourth Wing, anything by Sarah Lyons Fleming, Meg Cabot, and Louise Rennison.
