About Me

Hello :)

My name is Samantha and I'm a 34 year-old mother of three. I don't live an exciting life, but I do enjoy being a mother, my pets, and I have an obsession with pens and stationery. I love writing and snail mail correspondence as I spend 8 hours of the day 5 days a week on the computer at work. It's therapeutic for me!

I also love to cook and love trying new recipes from other cultures. I live in a small town in north east Mississippi but I am originally a Chicago native.

I am very easy going and will love anything that is sent to me. I am a "it's the thought that counts" kinda gal. I check my mail everyday and have informed delivery through USPS. I always rate same day.

- Notification -

USPS

All of my mail routes through Memphis, TN which is an absolute warzone. (They call it Memphganistan) Sometimes my mail is here quickly and other times late. I have recieved letters that have come to be completely destroyed and all the contents missing. I promise to rate as soon as I recieve! I know how much time and effort goes into these swaps (as those who have gotten something from me can attest to). The best advice I can give is to be patient, but you can reach out to me if you are concerned about the time.

My Favorite Things

Pens! Fountain Pens!! Inks!!

Wearingeul Ink

Ferris Wheel Press

Sloths!

I really love the Wizard of Oz. Both the movie and the book!

But I may love Alice in Wonderland even more. I love the movie and the books!

Favorite Movies

I find myself watching the same movies. These are my favorite:

The Wizard of Oz

Alice in Wonderland

You've Got Mail

I also love Christmas movies such as Home Alone 1 & 2, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Elf.

Favorite Television

I love any true crime documentary but I also enjoy these shows as well:

The Bates Motel

Dexter

Great British Baking Show

Kitchen Nightmares (I love anything with Gordon Ramsey)

Chopped

Favorite Books

Unfortunately, I don't have much time to read as I have three children, a full time job, and for some reason I decided to get a 2nd Master's degree.

But here are some of the books that I love:

Alice in Wonderland

11/22/63 by Stephen King

I also recently enjoyed the Wayward Pines trilogy

Favorite Music

As a former emo kid, I still love Blink 182 and other music that falls in that genre. Although I do like to mix it up and listen to indie, 90's country, and some of the newer Latin pop.

Comment: A very pretty package, thank you. It was fortunate that you used a paperclip as one side of the envelope had worn open! I am confident that it's all there though πŸ€—. Yes, snail mail is a welcome thing, as is time to be you rather than 'mum'. Happy swapping.
Response: Oh no I hate when that happens. :( Thank goodness for the paperclip!

Comment: You have lovely penmanship, is that a fountain pen? Very nice. I like your paper choice, too. Too much rain can just be too much, I know. Used to live in the Pacific Northwest :-). Painting can be very tedious work - I try to focus on how much better it looks when it is finished. Thanks for the large letter GF MI postcard, I appreciate it. And, the MI/NM stickers in the envelope was a sweet surprise. Wishing you a happy Day!
Response: You're welcome! Yes I most likely used a fountain pen :) I have bad memory and couldn't tell you which ink I used though. :P
