About Me

I would love to have some international pen pals! If I sound like someone you'd like to pen pal with, please let me know!

I love "around the world" type postcard series, such as the following: Countries of the World - https://houseofpostcards.com/en_US/c/Countries-of-the-World/181 World Travel - https://wt.nisan.tw/product-category/world-travel/ Greeting From - https://www.postallove.com/Postcards/Greetings-from-series

I also love: New Yorker cover - https://nelsonline.com/collections/the-new-yorker/cards/cover/ Travel posters postcards Dinosaurs/Reptiles Guns/Firearms Gardening Snow/winter

I'm new to this site, but not new to swapping.

I ALWAYS send my swaps. If you have not received anything from me, please contact me first. I also ALWAYS rate.

I'm a stay at home mom to 4 young kiddos (6, 5, 2, 1!), so I basically function on chocolate, coffee and croissants.

Before kids I worked as a clinical dietitian, specializing in renal patients. I think kidneys are the coolest organs!

I'm a new Girl Scout leader, mostly for Daisies.

I love colorful office supplies and stationary; colored pens, stickers, etc. I enjoy writing cards and mailing things (and of course receiving fun mail!).

I enjoy anything that will make me laugh and am not easily offended.

I'm generally not into politics, but have grown more conservative over time. I really like Trump! TRUMP 2024!

I raise chickens, and I'm pretty obsessed. I either have or have had pretty much every breed. I currently breed self-blue Ameraucanas.

I enjoy being outside, gardening, hiking, etc. I also love reptiles, especially snakes! and crocodiles! I also really love dinosaurs! PCs of any reptiles/dinosaurs would immediately be my favorite!

I live in the San Francisco bay area, but I'm originally from northwest Indiana. I started college at Purdue University, but graduated from UC Berkeley. I love both schools!

I love lemons and my favorite color is yellow!

I'm a chocoholic and love sweets in general.

I enjoy learning and really only read non-fiction.

I'm extremely organized and OCD. Think of The Home Edit.

I'm really into minimalism, mcm/Scandinavian style and hygge.

I have an older coin collection and am trying to add to it. I do not have any newer foreign coins, so would love it if you included any coins if you have them!

For postcards, I like anything that is FUN, COLORFUL, and/or UNIQUE! Anything that is special to your country would be great!

I don't watch a lot of TV/movies, but generally enjoy comedies; things like super troopers, anchorman, rick & morty, Christmas Vacation, most 80's movies.

My favorite music is rock and country. Favorites include Aerosmith, AC/DC, Michael Jackson, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, REO Speedwagon, Hendrix, etc.

Dislikes

Things I don't care for: Anime, manga, Pokemon, most homemade things, Mickey mouse, Winnie the pooh, Gothic things, gore, roses, anything ornate/traditional style, landscapes, buildings, bridges, washi tape, traveling, sports, lighthouses

Comment: Thanks for the blizzard postcard and sharing about your memory of being without power. My most recent was nine days back in late September when Hurricane Helene hit our area.

Comment: Wow, you've outdone yourself, Ashley! Such a great array of cards, including one by Brest Brest Brest, for which you get an extra star! ❤️ (I love that you put it in the "Goof off day" category). I also adore the Bill Cunningham dress shot. I'm the opposite of a fashionista, but I love looking at his photos of NYC street wear. Great oversized peaches, lovely narcissus, and a St Paddy's card worthy of a jig. Thanks so much for all.

Comment: Thank you for the fun lou paper PC. I'll trade you spooky scary skeletons for the petticoat junction theme song talking over you mental jukebox. Ma has been enjoying TV from the 60s lately and is especially absorbed in petticoat junction, singing and dancing in her chair with the theme song intro EVERY time.

Comment: I'm hoping I'm rating the correct swap since there was no swap name or username listed. I love the card though, it's so pretty, and the legend is so interesting! I'd never heard of it. It sounds similar to "La Llorona."

Comment: Another delightful selection of postcards! The Virgin Islands National Park one particularly struck a chord as I used to take the ferry to St John to hang out at the park when I lived on St Thomas. Thank you very much.

Comment: Thank you for all the cards - I loved the Halloween card in particular, but also the political women's rights one and the super cute vintage Bon-Ton Polish. Never seen one like that before! x
