About Me

I would love to have some international pen pals! If I sound like someone you'd like to pen pal with, please let me know!

I love "around the world" type postcard series, such as the following: Countries of the World - https://houseofpostcards.com/en_US/c/Countries-of-the-World/181 World Travel - https://wt.nisan.tw/product-category/world-travel/ Greeting From - https://www.postallove.com/Postcards/Greetings-from-series

I also love: New Yorker cover - https://nelsonline.com/collections/the-new-yorker/cards/cover/ Travel posters postcards Dinosaurs/Reptiles Guns/Firearms Gardening Snow/winter

I'm new to this site, but not new to swapping.

I ALWAYS send my swaps. If you have not received anything from me, please contact me first. I also ALWAYS rate.

I'm a stay at home mom to 4 young kiddos (6, 5, 2, 1!), so I basically function on chocolate, coffee and croissants.

Before kids I worked as a clinical dietitian, specializing in renal patients. I think kidneys are the coolest organs!

I'm a new Girl Scout leader, mostly for Daisies.

I love colorful office supplies and stationary; colored pens, stickers, etc. I enjoy writing cards and mailing things (and of course receiving fun mail!).

I enjoy anything that will make me laugh and am not easily offended.

I'm generally not into politics, but I love Trump! TRUMP 2024!

I raise chickens, and I'm pretty obsessed. I either have or have had pretty much every breed. I currently breed self-blue Ameraucanas.

I enjoy being outside, gardening, hiking, etc. I also love reptiles, especially snakes! and crocodiles! I also really love dinosaurs! PCs of any reptiles/dinosaurs would immediately be my favorite!

I live in the San Francisco bay area, but I'm originally from northwest Indiana. I started college at Purdue University, but graduated from UC Berkeley. I love both schools!

I love lemons and my favorite color is yellow!

I'm a chocoholic and love sweets in general.

I enjoy learning and really only read non-fiction.

I'm extremely organized and OCD. Think of The Home Edit.

I'm really into minimalism, mcm/Scandinavian style and hygge.

I have an older coin collection and am trying to add to it. I do not have any newer foreign coins, so would love it if you included any coins if you have them!

For postcards, I like anything that is FUN, COLORFUL, and/or UNIQUE! Anything that is special to your country would be great!

I don't watch a lot of TV/movies, but generally enjoy comedies; things like super troopers, anchorman, rick & morty, Christmas Vacation, most 80's movies.

My favorite music is rock and country. Favorites include Aerosmith, AC/DC, Michael Jackson, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, REO Speedwagon, Hendrix, etc.

Likes

If sending a postcard, I would love it if you write the date on it

Comment: The postman just delivered your wonderful box of Valentine goodies. Thank you so very much! I am absolutely delighted -- and thank you for giving me that little connection through the candy to my childhood in Chicago, over 50 years ago. It was a very generous and very much appreciated gift. .

Comment: Thank you, Ashley. Nice cards, but, oops, the swap guidelines specified "real birds - no drawing or painting cards." The only one you sent that wasn't a drawing or painting illustration was the photo of the Swan Boats in Boston. Quite charming, but not exactly real birds! I didn't rate you down, but couldn't justify a heart.

Comment: Thank you so much for sending extra bird postcards (and a bike one too!), that was very kind of you. Woodpeckers are very interesting birds. We have Gila Woodpeckers here in the city, you don't see them a lot, but I wouldn't call them rare. I saw an Acorn Woodpecker on a camping trip last September...I've never seen one of those in the wild before. My favorite birds are Blue Jays. I like the "traditional Blue Jay", but grew up in Northern Arizona with the Stellar's Jay. Happy Birding! Best!
