Age: 30

I collect: Bits of things. I like tiny things, wooden spools, vintage emphera, postage stamps ( especially floral ones!), book pages and markers. I really collect lots of things but these are a few of my faves.

My favourite colour is: Green! Any shade of it :) But I also love all jewel tones and earth tones and right now I am into citrus-y colors...I don't know why I usually do not like them that much. 

Please don’t send me: Food, religious items, stickers, cheap craft supplies.

My hobbies/interests are: I dabble in lots of craft/ art forms. I crochet, draw, paint, sew, write, read, cross stitch, etc. I grew up doing all sorts of crafts and love it. I also love to garden. 

I like to write letters about: Simple things. Random things. How my day went. Short stories. I am a mom with two small children and sometimes I write about them because they are my life right now. 

25 words or less, tell us about your personality: I am shy, funny, sarcastic, friendly unless crossed, I am loyal and have a big soft squishy heart that I guard with machetes.

I love to make: ATCs, crocheted goods, PCs, cards, jewelry, softties, and really anything. I just love the process :)

I really don’t like: racist, rude, ignorant people. I do not like items that smell- they give me migraines and make me nauseous. I do not like super girly- frilly stuff for the most part, there are exceptions but its best just to say I don't like the lot! I also do not like meat and most dairy products.  

Anything extra? I cannot always get a letter right back to you but I promise its coming! I have two little boys that are 3 years old and 9 months old and they run me ragged all day! 

I am/am not interested in private swaps: I am always interested in swaps! I love them :O)

 

A few words on the kind of pal I'm looking for: I am looking for someone who is easy going and I can share books or drawings or just fun stories with. Someone with a good sense of humor and will not be easily offended. Someone with children would be very nice but is not necessary ( I almost didn't put this in here because I don't want to scare anyone away!!)

I am interested in private swaps!

A few words on the kind of pal I'm looking for: Talkative, nerdy- I don't have any penpals more than ten years older than me, but if we share common interests I don't think age will matter. I'm really more interested in in-depth, fangirly letters that come from loving the same things than casual "This is who I am, this is how my day went, let's talk about the weather and a few things that happened today" penpals if you know what I mean- less "general" penpals, I suppose! :)

Age: 27 on April 22

Country: Canada

Not I), Yarn (not acrylic, unless it's really nice acrylic), tea and coffee (I drink it every day, usually multiple times per day, but I have a rotating stockpile), piano and violin accoutrement for my kids, stationery (like tea and coffee, I have a rotating stockpile), postcards, dreadlock beads/coils, ear plugs/tunnels (I'm sitting and 2g, slowly getting back up to 1/2 inch again).

Please don’t send me: Scrapbook material, religious items, candy (husband is diabetic and attempts to be sneaky), frilly/girly items (if you can describe it as "kawaii", I won't like it), anything at all related to Twilight.

My hobbies/interests are: Knitting, spinning woolens, gardening, yoga, Your Fitness on the Xbox 360, attempting (over and over) the Whole30, reading (*grabbyhands*), writing a book (well, recording my stream of consciousness, so it's a hot mess), baking, cooking.

I like to write letters about:Daily life, stream on consciousness, life updates, books that made me think, and so on.

25 words or less, tell us about your personality: I am a rather quiet, but friendly, person. Once you get to know me though, all bets are off. I find humor in the absurd, and am fond of cynical humor and bad puns.

I am obsessed with: Glee and Supernatural. Reading.  Am trying to change my soft and mushy body into a paragon of human fitness by training for my first 5K run in August, but that's slow going. Husband is diabetic, so we're trying to find ways around eating delicious things that won't f with our blood sugar levels. I also love to cook and bake anything that looks vaguely delicious. Kitchen experimentation is where it's at!

I love to make: Yarn things.

I really don’t like: Zines, ATCs, inchies, "kawaii" things, the word "moist" (among other words), Celine Dion,

I am interested in private swaps

A few words on the kind of pal I'm looking for: Someone that enjoys terrible humor like I do, a lifelong learner, a yarn enthusiast, maybe. Oh, and someone that enjoys reading. That one is a must.
