About Me

I came over here from Postcrossing (same name).

7/1/25 Update: I'm in Texas now. The move went well but I'm currently dealing with some health issues that have arisen. I'm taking a break from swapping new swaps, just working on catching up on the ones I have. I will update this when I have more news.

Upcycling

I try to upcycle as much as I can with my mail art. If you would like to do the same, I'm always happy to receive it. Also, if you have any recommendations for eco-friendly mailing supplies, please send them my way. Right now I'm using secondhand purchases, scotch greener tape, & am an currently on the lookout for new glue stick options if you know any. Handmade & upcycled postcards are always welcome.

Zines

Do you make zines? I'd love to do some trades if you do (ai-free only).

Writing Prompts

What's your favorite movie/tv show & why?
What would your magical unicorn name be?
What did you love to watch/do when you were a kid (that you no longer do)?
What's the last thing you had to eat & how was it?
Draw an animal or cartoon-style person of your choosing ("bad drawings" are 100% welcome, horses are fun to try)
Draw an eye
Write out a timeline list of what you did today/yesterday.
If you could go back in time and live there for a month, what time period would you choose and why?
What song have you really been enjoying lately?
Make any kind of list you want.

5/16/25 Update

I accidentally deleted part of my profile while updating it. If you read anything on it previously, I don't remember everything but will try to get it added back again. I still have the same interests.

Comment: Hi Alek - I agree with your answers and thank you for the vintage pc - this swap was due out July 3 and it doesn't show being sent until July 10. I checked to see if you messaged me about an issue but I didn't see anything. I am giving the swap a pass this time as you are relatively new to SB but swaps have deadlines for a reason, please adhere to them. I am not a date chaser but when I have to go back a bit to find a swap, I wonder what the deal is. All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Thank you for the nice selection of postcards, Alek. My favorite is the Starry Night Solar Eclipse, but sadly one of the corners is bent so I won't be able to share it. No fault of yours, just the wicked USPS mail destroying equipment doing its thing!
