*********UPDATE 7/1/21*********
I don’t know why I didn’t put this earlier BUT! We have moved about an hour away from our PO Box so I’m only getting the mail 1-2 times a month. We have our PO Box until September so ratings will probably be later until then. We’ll be getting a new PO Box in our city once the old one closes so I’ll be getting the mail more regularly! If you have any questions just shoot me a message 😁
*********UPDATE 3/29/21*********
I’ve just been sprung from the hospital! Haha. But on a serious note, if you are waiting on a rating or swap from me it’s going to be a bit delayed. I didn’t anticipate a hospital trip or staying!! I’ll be taking things slow for a little while but I hope to get caught up by the end of this weekend or next week at the latest. By all means, send a message if you have any questions. 💜
*********UPDATE 9/23/2020*********
Officially moving! Date is set and 10/1/2020 will be our last day in Hawaii. I hope to be back on swapbot before Halloween! Haven’t been on here much, sorry to my groups!! I will be back eventually, moving is just taking a lot of my time and energy currently. See you guys soon!
*********UPDATE 7/20/2020*********
In the process of moving!!! Okay so Covid has caused a whole bunch of issues and Hawaii is not doing a great job at handling it in regards to helping the people and/or the state economy. Our estimated time frame is mid August for moving out of state. Things are still up in the air as we are still trying to find a place to rent. I will be (unfortunately) scaling back swaps which breaks my heart. Literally this place and you all are my life savers. I love this community and creating mail/participating in swaps. I’m trying not to sign up for anything in August at this time. So if you see me taking less involvement in group swaps or if it takes a bit longer for me to reply to messages, give ratings, etc please know I am doing my best to balance everything but making sure we can get out of this failing state is my top priority. Feel free to shoot me a message if you need anything or have questions! I will respond as soon as I can 💜💜💜
*********UPDATE 5/6/2020*********
No Flaking here!!! I have noticed the mail taking longer and my mail (even outside of swapbot) is at times getting lost. If you do not receive your swap from me, please let me know! I love this community so definitely not an issue of sending, just the crazy times we live in. If time passes and still no swap, I’ll happily resend again! I also keep a log and pictures of my outgoing and incoming swaps for my own reference. Happy swapping! 💜
Hi everyone! I’m new here, I found this place through pen pals now. My name is Lilly & I recently turned 30. I am married and live with my husband and our 3 cats in Hawaii. I have a few pen pals but thought this might be something interesting to get in to.
If you ask me how “paradise” is or what it’s like to live in Hawaii I’ll give you the honest answer. It blows and I really CANNOT WAIT until hubby and I are able to get out of this burning dumpster fire.
I really love cats, cute stationery and stickers, anything “witchy”, kawaii, pastels, and various shades of grey. Oh and anything that has to do with Leonardo DiCaprio! He is my favorite actor & Titanic is seriously my all time favorite movie!!!
I love YA Fiction!!! Mostly romance books and less of the sci-fy. Some of my favorites are:
Paper Towns (anything by John Green tbh)
The Tenth Circle
Me before You
Elenore and Park
Sharp Objects
The fault in our stars
The Notebook
The Reader
Memories of a Geisha
Aimee
Lock and Key
Just listen
Dreamland
A series of unfortunate events (I loved them all)
Running with Scissors
Dry
The 50 shades series
Salem Falls
Milk and Honey
13 reasons why
There are so many more I can’t even think of, I’ll have to update this later after I check my goodreads profile lol
Dexter
Bobs Burgers
Supernatural
Hill House
The chilling adventures of Sabrina
The office
Parks and Recreation
Titanic
Pocahontas
I love you man
Step Brothers
Insidious
The conjuring
Pineapple Express
Tristan + Isolde
The wolf of wall street
Revolutionary Road
The man in the iron mask
im not really sure how to answer what my favorite crafts are. I enjoy doing DIY projects, painting, sewing, etc.
Im not sure what all would fall into the craft category haha!
I have a serious love of fabric and different ribbons. I enjoy ornate papers. I like stickers and markers. Pretty much anything metallic or glitter is right up my alley. I like most colors, pastels, grayscale, black and white, etc
I like unique designs as well as some traditional or more common designs. Not everything has to be rare!
Like: Decorated envelopes! Coffee, Tea (no green tea or matcha), washi, stickers, paper, cats anything, Billie Eilish, anything with hearts or stars, outer space, Halloween, the office, Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio, unique buttons, coins, note cards, there are a million things I can list here
Colors: Grey, green, black, rose gold, teal, wine, blush, most pastels, burnt orange
Collect: anything “witchy” (tarot cards, crystals, candles, ritual supplies, etc) I am currently trying to get a post card from all 50 states! (See postcard section below!) I’d love to get a blank one and a written on one from each state!! Will trade Hawaii postcards 😁 Foreign coins, used stamps, small denomination stamps (unused), makeup, books, movies, cats (lol)
Don’t have: stationery (notebook paper over here lol), stickers (I have a few but not really lol), ribbon/twine, tags, die cuts, rubber stamps (yet!), brown kraft paper, a lack of cat hair lol
I am very keen to get a postcard from all 50 states! I would love to have at least one scenic view from each BUT I am happy to just have one from each state!
I would also really like to collect some foreign postcards as well but my priority is all the states❤️
These are the post cards I have currently collected!
US:
Florida
West Virginia
Virginia (still looking for a scenic Virginia)
California
Texas
New Orleans
Vermont
Salem, MA (still looking for a scenic Massachusetts)
Pennsylvania
Wisconsin
Idaho (still looking for a scenic Idaho)
Colorado (still looking for a scenic Coloraro)
Hawaii
International:

Love em both so if you’re thinking of sending some feel free!
Coffee: I am not all that picky but I love a dark roast and in general just trying different coffees!
Tea: I am obsessed with clipper tea but it’s hard to find in the states! I am very intrigued to try foreign teas we can’t get here or are limited. But again I’m not all that picky! As long as it’s not green/matcha tea I will try it! I do absolutely love caramel vanilla chai!
I thought I’d add a wishlist of items here to get a feel of the type of things I like or aesthetics I go for! 😁

I wanted to add a little blurb about things I really enjoy receiving but that will be updated periodically!
Washi Tape Samples! This is one of my favorite things to receive, I love having a wide variety of Washi tapes and I find so many people have such different washis!
Quotes! I love book quotes mostly, but quotes in general are great. I especially like ones about love or that are inspiring. Bible verses are also welcome as offer these are very inspirational.
Pictures! I love to speak through pictures, each one is worth a thousand words.
Random tarot cards! I am trying to build a deck of cards from multiple decks. As I receive cards I will update here until I’ve completed the deck 💖

Thank you for your sympathy!♥
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the June LOVE snail mail and goodies! YOU are amazing. The last envelope took a month in the slow mail but was so beautifully done and full of joy. I really appreciate all the attention and detail and thought you put into making me smile. Best of luck with your move and blessings to you.
I received your Thank you card and extras today and I really liked everything. The cute card looks so like a meal I would have (and do when I go out to eat, which I haven't really did since February except fast food drive through). So I want that say thank you and welcome to swap-bot.
