Hello! My name is Jacki. I've been swapping for over ten years, hard to believe!

Current favorite swaps are making envelopes, flipbooks, and items for handmade journals. I offer RAKs and wishes regularly and enjoy private package swaps with reliable swappers. I enjoy exchanging letters, but am not always great at being a consistent penpal.

I'm an understanding swapper and don't look for reasons to down-rate. I never look at post marks - if you're sending a bit late, I don’t mind and won't even notice. If you are sending significantly late or mess-up in some other way, message me and we will work it out. If I mess-up, I will do everything I can to fix it to your satisfaction.

I strive to encourage others in their craft, express gratitude for everything received, and live by the words of JM Barrie: Be kinder than necessary.

FAVORITE THEMES - Floral, botanical, nature, artsy, earth friendly, reading, animals, birds, bees, butterflies, watercolor, things with texture, uplifting words and phrases, paper with stitching. I like grungy, shabby, vintage, whimsical, bright, and fresh. I prefer artistic/illustrations over realistic images/photos.

YOUR ART - Anything handmade by you, in any medium, any theme, would be a joy to receive. I especially adore embroidery, watercolor, and crochet (none of which I can do).

PACKAGES - Candles or melts (flowery or fresh scents), lip balm, mints, earth-friendly items, perfume samples, anything hand-crafted, wide fabric headbands, list of recommended books (mysteries especially), useful/practical items, unique items from your locale, anything from or inspired by my Etsy Favs.

SNACKS - Milk chocolate with crunchy/crispy bits, Fry's Turkish Delight, fizzy/effervescent candies like Swizzles Love Hearts and Brause-stäbchen, minty candies, salty and spicy snacks. Not a fan of dark chocolate, gummy candies, meat-based snacks, or herbal tea.

I do not craft or create with the following. I welcome these as topics in letters/cards, but would not use these types of craft supplies (stickers, washi, diecuts, ephemera):

🚫 childish, fantasy, celebrities, fashion
🚫 holiday related
🚫 tourist or promotional items
🚫 used postage, memo sheets, post-it notes
🚫 religion, spirituality (angels, Bible, tarot cards, astrology)
🚫 things with human faces give me the creeps - like this and this and this

Would not use these things:

🚫 traveling items like friendship books, slams
🚫 knick-knacks or little things that sit around the house with no purpose
🚫 make-up, nail polish, bath bombs (but I do love perfume and lotion samples)
🚫 no tea for me please
