Update Jan 9, 2025 Apparently, there are fires happening around California. Fortunately the area I live in is unaffected by the fires. If you are worried about sending mail my way, don't be. I should still be able to receive it!

Hello :) My name is Karen and I'm 32 years old. I look forward to exchanging mail with other people here!

I do consider myself spiritual (crystals, meditation, etc.) but don't follow any religion. I don't mind receiving things that are religious such as prayers, blessings, charms, imagery, etc. as long as the sender doesn't get "preachy" with me (telling me my path is wrong or trying to get me to switch to their religion.) I respect other religions/beliefs and enjoy learning about them.

Also, I have no issues with swear words, nudity, or the odd and bizarre.

Besides mail swapping other hobbies I enjoy are; reading, indoor gardening, brain puzzles (like word searches, nonogram, jigsaw), baking, cooking, going to yard sales, collecting curio and oddities, and fashion.

Arts and Crafts you will find me doing are weaving, needlefelt, knitting, crochet, junk journaling, working with clay, paper mache, sewing, and painting.

Themes I Love:

1. Vintage

2. Dark/gothic

3. Witchy

4. Nature (forest, sea, woodland, flowers, rain)

5. Animals (octopus, deer, frogs, crow, jellyfish)

6. Sky (clouds, sunsets)

7. Nautical (lighthouses, ships)

8. Bugs (moth, bees, spiders, butterfly)

9. Cute or Kawaii

10. Sanrio/San-X (cinnamoroll, sentimental circus)

11. Fairy Tales (fairies, queen, unicorns, dragon)

12. Astronomy/Celestial

13. Anatomy (skeleton, organs, brain, etc.)

14. Books

15. Alice in Wonderland

16. Angels

17. Supernatural (ghosts, gravestones, ouija)

18. Tea (teapots, teacups, etc.)

I do consider myself an avid reader :) I'm a fan of pretty much anything. Fiction and non-fiction.

As to my favorite books, it's a large list so, I'll just share my favorite genre's. This goes for magazines too :)

I love sweets! Lollipops, cottoncandy, gummies, hard candy, etc. Whether it's caramel, fruity, chocolate, I love them :D

I don't like coffee but I do love tea! I've been really into fruity and floral teas lately. But I also don't mind other types of tea.

I don't have any food allergies and love trying new things :)

×Swap Stuff×

I do my best to send swaps before the deadline. If something happens that will cause your swap to be late, I will notify you. But rest assure you will receive your mail!

If you hadn't received my swap within a month, please let me know! I will resend if necessary.

I rate swaps within a week of receiving the mail. But if things are too busy, I rate all swaps at the end of the current month.
