Still around August 2024!

I found this site ages ago and although I am not very active here I really like the way this site works and participated in quite a few swaps before there were even swap types 1, 2,and 3. xD If you'd like to do a one on one swap please feel free to message me. I spend my days being joyfully crafty, writing letters to my penpals and balancing my unfortunately very sedentary hobbies with exercising and remembering to stretch!

I have loved reading since forever. I read both fiction and non-fiction. My last book read was Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life which I wholeheartedly recommend. I'm currently in the middle of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and I'm really enjoying it. Is there nothing better than reading books and finding the time well-spent and enjoyable? Ahhhh

I enjoy a variety of papercrafts and decorating everyday things. When I look at them it makes me happy. And life is meant to be happy! :D Well you know not constantly because the bad times are what make us appreciate the good but you know what I mean. :p I sometimes swap and make high quality or nice & neat fbs as well as sticker bags, memo bags and used stamp bags. I enjoy journaling and love the kawaii aesthetic and especially vintage yumekawa style! I've been practicing modern calligraphy and having a lot of fun with it.

I love Mind Wave, Q-lia, San-x, Crux, Kamio, Pool Cool, washi tapes, happy animals and any kawaii stickers that have are holo sparkly or metallic glittery. I like super kawaii letter sets, memo pads and letter pads. I love those super skinny (028, 038) line pens that write smoothly. I'm a bit of a pen enthusiast. ;p Happy fruits and food (dessert) kawaii themes are my absolute favorite at the moment too.

I enjoy swapping quality fbs, sticker bags, postage stamp bags, lyrix, quotez, decos, sticker books, traveling postcards, kawaii stickers, washi and kawaii stationery in small amounts so it doesn't get too overwhelming. I also prefer flat items to ones that are decorated in too many gems or puffy stickers.

I just started collecting worldwide commemorative postage stamps. I would love it if you used recent colorful commemorative stamps on your envelopes to me. (o^___^o) I also love when my mail is decorated and I also enjoy decorating the mail I send out. I'm @tinypaperbits on insta if you wanna see.

I am a fan of Rainbowholic, 1134 Press, Jordan Clark and watching journal with me/penpal with me videos on youtube. I love spending time on instagram (tho not every day) just perusing through the explosion of daily creativity on there. And I love getting snailmail ideas from all the penpaling hobbyists who create beautiful artistic expressions through their letters, enclosures and envelopes. At the same time I don't use the "feeds" feature very much and rather just find things I want to look at on my own. I also love listening to health and wellness podcasts daily while papercrafting.
