Hello! My name is Cami, I’m 25 and live in Philadelphia! I’m picking up paper crafts/letter writing again as a hobby to limit time on my phone and exercise my creativity. I attended school for illustration and am currently pursuing a degree to become a teacher. I work with children full-time as a babysitter and nanny, and my days are usually exhausting, so I’m hoping this can be a relaxing hobby to help me wind down after work.

I love flower pressing, scrapbooking, and painting. I journal as well (bujo and junk journaling). I keep a sketchbook with me at all times and fill it with anything I find beautiful/inspiring.

I collect used postage stamps, monster high dolls, postcards, stickers, interesting stones/crystals, and coins! I have a shelf in my bedroom for all of my random trinkets that I collect as well.

Unique stickers || Tea || Cute/Unique washi tape || Playlists/song recommendations || Fabric scraps || Postcards (Vintage/art postcards are strongly desired) || Anything Sanrio, but especially Pompompurin || Things from Japan/Japanese themed stationery || Recipes || Vintage paper scraps || Studio Ghibli || Stardew Valley || Cookbooks

Shipwrecks/The deep sea || Non-cartoon whales || Glitter || Childish/teacher stickers

Please do not intentionally send anything created using AI generated imagery. I understand that it’s getting harder to tell, and I will not hold it against anyone due to how advanced it’s getting, but as an illustrator AI is deeply upsetting to me.

My favourite candies are anything peach flavoured, and I’m not a fan of anything sour. The more variety of texture there is in food the more I’ll like it. I love to cook and if I’m sent a recipe I will likely cook it and send back a letter talking about how much I enjoyed it! My favourite tea is.....anything really! Flavoured, unflavoured, herbal, caffeinated - it’s all great. I grew up in South Africa though, so rooibos has a special place in my heart.

If you are interested in becoming penpals please dm me! I am open to exchanging with anyone!
