About Me

I started my crafting journey July 2019 by joining various Facebook groups and absolutely fell in love with creating and swapping. There’s nothing like sending and receiving handcrafted things. Super excited to be a part of the swapbot community!

More About Me

I'm married with no kids. We adopted 2 cats in July 2020 and it’s been an experience since. I live near Madison, where there are lots of parks and lakes and it's absolutely gorgeous on nice spring, summer, and fall days. When I'm not writing penpal letters or crafting, I'm baking, cooking, reading light romance books, or watching random YouTube videos.

I did start a YouTube channel (linked above) where I showcase some hauls, incoming mail, and outgoing mail. I’m a very shy person so I started this channel in hopes of getting more comfortable speaking. I also have a blog that I update once in awhile as well as an Instagram page where I post crafts I dabble in. If you also have an Insta, I would be honored if we followed each other!

Likes

I like anything cute. Cute is absolutely my kryptonite when buying things to create crafts. Things from brands like Doodlebug, Lawn Fawn and Sunny Studios are what you'll find in my craft closet. I've stumbled upon some Etsy stores that sell cute things as well, especially for penpal letters.

I also love florals, disney characters, and anything sparkly. I do cuss a little ;)…okay, a fair bit lol so not offended by anything that contains adult language.

My favorite colors are purple, teal, and pink. I enjoy other colors too, but these are my top 3.

Favorite Holidays for Crafting: Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. If you’re into these holidays as well, I typically host a couple of craft-related swaps during these seasons.

Dislikes

While I like Halloween crafting, I'm not much for horror or gory.

Extras are thoughtful but absolutely not required for hearts!

Please no religious items! Or vintage - not really a fan.

Final Thoughts

In cases where you haven't received my mail within a reasonable amount of time, please contact me directly. It may be that it was simply lost in the mail, as that can happen.

If I haven’t rated you within a reasonable timeframe, please reach out. It may be that I may have accidentally forgotten to save as I access swapbot via phone.

I am open to personal 1:1 swaps. If you’d like to swap with me, please reach out!

Comment: Thanks for the lovely letter, and pretty envelope - love the rainbow paint. Yes, I have seen dolphins in the wild, and did a swim with the dolphins in Mexico. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. Maybe there are other places and ways to have a dolphin encounter that would be more satisfying. May you be well!

Comment: Your letter arrived today and it brought a smile to my face. Thanks! I love the washi tape, too.
Response: My goodness, that took awhile! I wonder if it was because it wasn’t machineable. I’m glad that it got there safely, though! It was fun writing you and getting to know you more through this series!

Comment: Thanks for sharing and for the washi! Where did you get the stationery you used?
Response: I don’t remember exactly which paper I’d used for your letter - it may have been from La Papierre (on Etsy) or Dearest Nicky (she has her own website) :)

Comment: Thank you for the letter and the goodies, Jocelyn! I've been meaning to read Anne of Green Gables for years now but I have read a cute graphic novel retelling before!

Comment: Thanks for the darling washi and beautiful envelope. I feel so fortunate to be the recipient of so many of your works of mail art. Yes, I try to remember the saying that goes something like - if you aren't making mistakes you aren't learning (or some such). It's been hard for me to overcome the fear of making mistakes, but I am working on it. For our standing bird feeder we are using a very heavy bottomed cast iron umbrella stand - got it at an estate sale for a song :-) We also like the clear plastic house type feeders that suction cup to the window -if you have a place for that sort of thing. Happy day to you!

Comment: So pleased to have another letter from you and your seemingly endless supply of delightful stationery and big colored envelopes with fun decoration. That's a funny story, and I do get that age and how unintentionally funny they are. Also, loved the joke and will add it to my repertoire. Happy Day to you@

Comment: Another fun envelope from you - you really have nailed the mail art game :-) Ah, so it's lunar paste, I'll have to look that up. It did come through just beautifully! I also really enjoy jelly beans, jelly belly especially. I did not know there were so many jelly bean related treats... Thanks a million for the extra stationery - it's so sweet! Happy Day to you!

Comment: My golly, you have lovely penmanship :-) Thanks for your letter on pretty paper, and all the stickers. How did you make your envelope so cool? Is that paint through a stencil? Gorgeous, I've never seen anything like it. I only know Audubon from the Audubon society and their bird sanctuaries. There was one in Portland that I used to like to visit. Wishing you a happy day!

Cheese drawers? WHAT? Yes please. Hope the hubby pulled off brunch - life is better with partners who add brunch to your life :). Be well, and many best wishes.

Comment: I like my own space best. Peopling seems fun until I actually have to do people.

Comment: Both my son and my daughter would agree with you regarding the cat water and feeder. We had cats before they were available, and OMG the drama of a hungry/thirsty cat?! We had one that would leave behind one bit of kibble and meow over it for hours.

Comment: We are lucky enough to have art created by relatives, too, and some of those relatives are no longer with us, so it is especially meaningful now.
