Hi!

My Name is Maria, I’m in my 40s and I have loved writing, sending and receiving post since I was 7 years old and had my first pen pal 🖤

I am getting back into letter writing and swapping after a 10 year hiatus and I am so glad I’m back! 🥰

Don’t be afraid to choose a theme that you love for a swap, I’d love to see what you love and are passionate about, so if you aren’t inspired by my profile, go ahead with a theme that excites you!

I don't flake on swaps, so if you haven't received something from me, please reach out and I am happy to resend 😊

Please don’t feel obliged to send extras!

I rate swaps based on the quality of the swap and the requirements, I’ll give you a heart if your item makes me smile (highly likely!).

I have a really well established craft and stationery supply, so keep your extras for someone who is building theirs and will love to receive them 🥰

Just a bit of fun to help you get to know me ☺️

I’m in the process of trying out books from different genres and authors, so while I now know that I love fantasy, cosy books, cosy mysteries and books about magic, I’m really open to trying new things!

I don’t love gore/thriller/horror anymore as I’m trying to soothe my nervous system instead of stimulate it 😅

There are very few things I don’t like here they are…

• ginger

• aniseed

• fennel

• dark chocolate

• nougat

• cigarette smoke

• gore

If you feel like it, please share your favourite quote, poem or book recommendation with me, that would really make my day 🥰
