Copied and pasted from @riftvegan Thank you for the information.

Please Note! The United States Postal Service will no longer be postmarking mail on the day it is dropped in a mailbox. Instead the stamp cancellation won't happen until the mail arrives at a distribution center.

This is a tactic designed to degrade trust in our precious Postal Service... and to disenfranchise voters in Vote By Mail states. But We Will Persist! I'm sure our local postal workers will continue to do the best they can. And we will continue to send Happy Mail!

In regards to the TGIF swap series (and all mailed swaps, really!)... Please do not rate down, based solely on the stamp cancellation date.

*** If you like to write letters or send cards or care packages may I recommend you volunteer at soldiersangels.org. Our service members need encouragement and this is a very easy way to make their day. When you sign up you’ll be given a mentor who can help you navigate the website. After that it’s pretty easy. Please consider!***

** Please use my Zip+4 as it helps postal sorting and I get my swaps much faster. Thank you!

My name is Tisha and I live in Michigan, USA. I am a nurse but am most passionate about animals. Any animals. All animals. I have fostered cats and dogs for almost 10 years. My only foster fail was a 3 legged shepherd named Stevie. He was such a good buddy. Right now I have a 20 year old cat named Daisy I just adopted in April 2024.

I adore wildlife. Even the ones others consider nuisances or ugly or creepy. They were all put here by God for a reason. Let's protect their habitat!

I am a postcrosser so love postcards, stickers and washi tape. My favorite postcards are colorful - ones that spark joy and put a smile on my face. Life is too short to not have some pizazz in it! I'm not fond of scenic postcards, but really any postcard received is a good one. If yours has any pop culture from the 70s or 80s, please send it my way :-) I am collecting Jacky Kho Wonderpost and Rina Zeniuk Blue Cats cards.

I am also enjoying Bible study and PenPal swaps. I am a Christian so faith based items welcome.

Recently started making and swapping pocket letters. I have entirely way too much stuff. I need to do some RAKs and destash.

I like to read, mostly fiction, historical fiction and some fantasy. To make me feel better about myself, I do try to diversify and read some non fiction too. In 2025 I read 83 books. Hoping to achieve that goal again in 2026. I have SO many books on my Want to Read Goodreads account.

My favorite book of all time is likely Safely Home by Randy Alcorn. Some books I gave 5 stars to this past year are: The Women, Atmosphere, The Last Bookshop in London, Cher: The Memoir, The Golden Age of Magic.

I am happy to be a part of this community. Snail mail is the best! I have been weighing my envelopes to ensure proper postage, but if I’ve mailed you something with postage due, please let me know and I will mail it to you.

Have a happy and healthy 2026 and please rate promptly. Please email me before rating if you have any concerns about my swap. Peace!
