Hello! My name is Jacki. I've been swapping for over ten years, hard to believe!
Current favorite swaps are making envelopes, flipbooks, and items for handmade journals. I offer RAKs and wishes regularly and enjoy private package swaps with reliable swappers.
I'm an understanding swapper and don't look for reasons to down-rate. I never look at post marks - if you're sending a bit late, I won't even notice. If you are sending significantly late or mess-up in some other way, message me and we will work it out. If I mess-up, I will do everything I can to fix it to your satisfaction.
I strive to encourage others in their craft, express gratitude for everything received, and live by the words of JM Barrie: Be kinder than necessary.
FAVORITE THEMES - Floral, botanical, nature, artsy, earth friendly, reading, animals, birds, bees, butterflies, watercolor, things with texture, uplifting words and phrases, paper with stitching. I like grungy, shabby, vintage, whimsical, bright, and fresh. I prefer artistic/illustrations over realistic images/photos.
YOUR ART - Anything handmade by you, in any medium, any theme, would be a joy to receive. I especially adore embroidery, watercolor, and crochet (none of which I can do).
LETTERS - I love a good chatty letter. Iโm open-minded and accepting โ feel safe to write to me about anything. Here are some letter writing prompts. Admire those who handwrite, I try now and then but mostly type.
PACKAGES - Candles or melts (flowery or fresh scents), lip balm, mints, earth-friendly items, perfume samples, anything hand-crafted, wide fabric headbands, list of recommended books (mysteries especially), useful/practical items, unique items from your locale, anything from or inspired by my Etsy Favs.
SNACKS - Milk chocolate with crunchy/crispy bits, Fry's Turkish Delight, fizzy/effervescent candies like Swizzles Love Hearts and Brause-stรคbchen, minty candies, salty and spicy snacks. Not a fan of dark chocolate, gummy candies, meat-based snacks, or herbal tea.
I would not make use of goodies (stickers, washi, diecuts, ephemera) in the following themes and prefer not to receive:
๐ซ childish, fantasy, celebrities, fashion
๐ซ holiday related
๐ซ tourist or promotional items
๐ซ used postage, memo sheets, post-it notes
๐ซ religion, spirituality (angels, Bible, tarot cards, astrology)
๐ซ things with human faces give me the creeps - like this and this and this
๐ซ traveling items like friendship books, slams
๐ซ make-up, nail polish, bath bombs (but I do love perfume and lotion samples)
๐ซ no tea for me please
