12/10/2025 hi everyone I’m sorry for being inactive for a while. My life had gotten completely turned upside down when i found out i was 20 weeks pregnant with a little boy. I will resend out all the swaps I missed during that time. I had given birth at 35 weeks and my son was in the NICU for a long time. I want to get back into swaps especially with my little one. I want to incorporate him as much as possible. I am so proud to say I have a healthy 16 month old who's walking and talking now. August Randall is my best friend.

Hello hello. I’m a 23 year old artist from Michigan. I’ve been into art since I was about 4. Got exposed to ATCs in September 2022 through my mom. With going to school and working two jobs art is my escape. ATCs, drawings, paintings, all consume what little free time I have. I Have made quite a few cards and projects and have traded through various groups and im looking forward to exciting trades.

As of May 4 2023, we also have a new pure bred Siberian husky puppy who is 7 weeks old. Her name is indy. Indy would love happy mail too. Toys, treats, bandanas.

I am die hard Green Bay Packers fan so Packers gear is always appreciated

Not picky but my favorite supplies are things related to travel. Maps, flags, stamps, text in other language, traveling stickers, etc.

I also love rub on transfers.

I also like items that look “dated” or old. Nothing musty or soiled but stickers, cut outs, papers, etc that have that “older” look on them. I also use paper particularly with words on it as backgrounds for some of my cards so if you send me dictionary paper or paper that’s written in another language I will love it and will use it as a background. I LOVE used postage stamps from all over. I Incorporate them in my art. Also enjoy dye cuts, I don’t have the machine to make them :( ALWAYS in need of stationary, anything I can write notes on, black sharpies, gel pens.I’m not picky if I receive something I don’t like I pass it on, no need to be ungrateful.

I enjoy trying new teas, snacks, etc. we have a tea press so loose leaf is fine! I’ll try anything at least once so feel free to send odd snacks from your area! I have no allergies to anything. My favorite snacks are popcorn, nuts, and gummies. I don't prefer dark chocolate.

Dislikes: stickers papers or craft items that pertain to babies, having babies, weddings, “kiddish” items, teaching stickers, potpourri, religious items, cartoons, Kawaii

Postcards: I I like nature postcards, particularly bears, but I’ll take anything pertaining to water, bridges, animals, etc. I also like holiday postcards (any holiday) or “artsy” cards. I love Route 66. Also love Disney cards. I like cool architecture such as old buildings, castles, churches. Vintage-inspired cards are also a favorite of mine.

Not the biggest fan of cards pertaining to plants, flowers, botany.

I ALWAYS send and haven’t had a problem yet but I do a lot of international swaps which take a little longer to arrive so please reach out before rating me a one. I will gladly resolve issue.

Books: I work third shift at a group Alzheimer’s home so I burn through a book a week while the patients are sleeping. I love mystery, murder, thriller, and all things dark and twisty. I love James Patterson and Lisa scottoline. I love series, I never have to figure out what I’m reading next, my current favorite is the Alex cross series. So feel free to send the beginning of new series in any book swaps, I’ll be entertained for a month.

Occasionally will read a young adult novel or a fantastic. I like anything but cliche romance

ALWAYS searching for book that will make me uncontrollably sob

Hobbies: I love camping, crafting, reading, hiking, nature, traveling, snowmobiling, COOKING! Always looking for new recipes.

I’m am also building a few Frankenstein decks! I would love some playing cards.

I have one deck that’s just normal sized cards from different decks.

And then I also have a deck of weirdly shaped cards.

I’m also a true crime junkie so feel free to include crime stories
