Welcome to my page!
I grew up on the Oregon coast and I have lived here all of my life. I am a Native American, mother of two amazing children.
I have collected postcards off and on for 35 years. I am just getting back into swapping again. I co-founded a Postcard swap group. I have made some great friends along the way, and I hope to make many more.
Besides collecting/trading postcards, I have a great love of photography, writing, beading, traveling, and I volunteer for Find A Grave. I am an avid reader. My favorite genre is post-apocalyptic, but I also love historical romances.
I love washi tape, decorative tape, stickers, die-cuts, colorful paper/envelopes and other craft items. I enjoy interesting stamps and postmarks. I love to receive envelopes and cards that are decorated.
My favorite colors are black & pink.

*Ad/Free postcards *Postcards that are blank on the front *Homemade cards/postcards *Postcards that are written to someone else *Anything Religious or Political. (everyone has their own beliefs/opinions) *Cartoon/Anime

I do my best to send my swaps out as soon as possible. I like to visit profiles to get to know my swap partners before mailing.
If you have not received my swap or have an issue with what I sent, PLEASE contact me before leaving a negative rating. I will offer the same courtesy before leaving anyone a negative rating.
I try and rate partners immediately upon receipt of swaps. I hope you will do the same for me.
Thank you for visiting my page. I look forward to swapping with you. :)

Hi Shyla! Three things about myself: 1) I started collecting postcards when I read in "Archie" comics that Dilton Doiley collected postcards:) 2) I love collecting maximum cards but it is pretty difficult to find people who like to swap this type of cards. 3) I don't really watch TV but the last TV show I religiously followed was "Downton Abbey" :)
I'm reading your profile! :P â¤âž´â¤
