My name is Eden, I’m 30, I live in Arizona and I’m a SAHM. Paper crafting was my whole personality in 2020 but I haven’t touched it in a long time. In an effort to make time for myself and to enjoy life not just get through it I’m dipping my toes back into swaps and happy mail!

I have no pets but I love cats, as iconography I love bees and elephants and turtles.

I really try to be a positive person but sometimes rainy days and sad music and fuzzy pants are all I can manage and I think that’s ok :)

My musical taste is mostly indie or folk but really I enjoy anything . Currently I’m loving The head and the heart and also enjoying Lana Del Reys new album. I grew up on 90s pop/alternative so I adore the cranberries and Dave Matthews and 10000 maniacs. I try to be eclectic in all parts of my life!

As for movies I’m a sucker for a good romcom. Down with love, eat pray love, and the notebook are some favorites of mine. I also enjoy musicals dramas and indie films. Moonrise kingdom is one of my all time favorite movies as is moulin rouge.

I’m new to crafting and snail mail but I really love it. I’m still trying to figure out my style. I like sort of frilly girly over the top letters with all the glitter and Hearts and gold foil. And yet I find something strikingly beautiful about simpler letters on brown paper with touches or white pen and hand drawn pictures or minimalist embellishments.

Things I will always be happy to receive:

Things I’m always happy to destash:
