I’m the mom of 3 young adults, all currently in college. My husband and I have a dream of one day paying off their college tuitions and being able to afford to travel and live a life of leisure.
I love to travel, and have a goal of seeing all 50 states. I want to see more of the world as well! We’ve definitely instilled the travel bug in our kids, and they are always heading off on their own adventures.
I spend my free time dreaming of my next trip, reading, crafting, thrifting, and snuggling on the couch with my dog while binge watching. I love receiving happy mail and love how our hobbies connect us with people all over the world.
I’ve recently started selling on the site whatnot. My link is above. If you are new to whatnot, message me, and I will send you a referral link with a coupon code! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friendly Note: I always try to rate promptly and appreciate when you do the same. If you didn’t receive a rating, I probably didn’t receive your package. I enjoy doing swaps and I’m here to have fun. I’m pretty laid back when it comes to the actual ratings. If you let me know when something is running late, or if I receive something that is not a perfect match, I try never to rate down as long as you are not a total flaker. No stress needed. Again, I appreciate the same courtesy. I really do try my best to make my partners happy when I send a swap, so if there is ever an issue, please reach out 😊
SWAPS I HOST: I don’t do drama so if you can’t keep your drama to yourself, please move along and don’t sign up for anything I’m hosting. I’m here to facilitate some fun swaps, not to babysit. Don’t flake and be sure to rate. Thanks 😊

Thank you for the January wishes for LSRUS! My mail has been so slow lately!
Thank you Beth for the inspiration and bookish goodies for February wishes!
Hi Beth!
You too!! Thanks a lot for the profile comment, as well as doing what you can to "solve" the flaker and non-rater issue! :D (Again, "resolve" in quotation marks because this probably would never be "fixed" or "solved" unless the person sends and rates.) Really appreciate how communicative you are so far with handling swap issues like this. Glad to have you as a host for your E-mail Accountability Swap and that we can communicate and connect well with each other here. Your efforts and comments did brighten up my morning. ^^ I replied to your e-mail and Swap-bot message with a proposal on with an idea that I've been eager to share with you on what we can do to better the issue caused by the flaking and non-rating, and I think it's a great idea. I hope you'll like what I proposed ^_^

What great vintage valentines! Thank you!!
Hello Dear @Mamakek I received your January wishes and thank you kindly for all the neat stuff!!! The clusters are perfect and will look beautiful in my Junk Journal. The little pocket is very special with the cute tags and eyelash ribbon. Then there's the stickers too. Oh my gosh, the pocket itself is a little work of art!! You are so kind. I can't forget about the Jokers. Thank you so so much! Before I forget, the Robin Williams quote notecard is a treasure. How many hearts can I give you? LOTS!! 💝 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💌🌹📬😻
Thank you for the LSRUs January wish!
