About Me

I host, give RAKS and swap at Cheap Postage Swaps, Tags and Fun and CPG Newbies

I host offsite at Instagram and on Facebook as well as at atcsforall.com

I enjoy crochet, origami, zines, atcs, collage, Sharpies and pretty much anything to do with paper.

We are empty nesters so I try not to accumulate too many extras. I've run down my papers but um, the yarn is taking over, lol!

Need a crochet item? Ask me for a swap! You can check out my Instagram for recent projects.

Styles I like: beach/tropical; clean/IKEA, hand drawn, and some kawaii (Hello Kitty, sushi, food with faces and pandas).

Styles I don't care for: kiddie, overly victorian/vintage, lace, nudes, gothic/dark or religious, cutesy, kitschy country.

LIKES: Fav colors include sea blue/sea glass, navy, turquoise, red, rosy pink, burgundy, purple! Fav scents are citrus, linen, simple and clean.

I'm always happy to receive:

HANDMADE:
* address labels or PDT labels
* aprons
* handmade or fun soaps (nothing for a bath as we only have showers)
* crochet patterns listed on my Etsy

OR:

  • yarn, cotton or worsted

  • Fav food & drink: dark chocolates, chocolate with fruits or nuts, anything almond, andes mints, hard candies in travel tins; decaf black teas like decaf orange spice teas, decaf earl or lady grey tea, tea biscuits or stroopwafel cookies!!

  • incense or anything with a strong odor
  • herbal or green teas
  • anything licensed unless it's kawaii:)

  • Please NO dollar store cosmetics, candles, candy/food, or personal care products - thanx!

ALLERGIES: Smoke, cat hair.

I am an early sender and a prompt rater. Please contact me if you have not received an item or a rating.

Also, I take most items to the PO to be weighed but sometimes what I think are simple flat envies go over an ounce and I don't realize it. If you get anything from me that comes postage due, please let me know and I'll send it to you!

Crafty Things I Make and Send

Handcrafted Things I tend to send: zines, crochet items, postcards, stash in decorated envelopes, penpal letters, ephemera, atcs, anything origami, addy labels + swap cards, handmade notecards,
