hello everybody! my name is Caitlyn and I have completely enjoyed the past few months on swap-bot. I look forward to swapping with you!

• I have two dogs and three cats that I absolutely adore! The cats are black, grey, and a tabby. The dogs are a Border Collie Husky mix and an American Eskimo, Mosey and Colby respectively. Mosey has one brown eye and one blue eye!
• I am currently in college pursuing an engineering degree. I am enjoying learning new things, but classes can make me pretty busy.

• The color green! Especially lighter greens, lime green is okay but definitely subpar to the lovely, earthy tones the color is capable of!

• If I had to choose an animal, it would probably be the bear. Polar bears, grizzly bears, sun bears, panda bears, black bears, you name it and I love it! While I probably wouldn't like to encounter a bear out in the wild I enjoy what they represent to me. I think I may eventually even get a tattoo of one.

• My favorite color, like I said, is earthy green!
• Washi tape! I have a whole bin full and love to send and receive it, specifically ones that match my other interests.
• I gravitate towards things with prints of leaves. I have five leaf washi tapes!
• Simple watercolor-like designs and repetitive prints.
• Sticky notes, I'm even hosting a sticky note swap. They're just so cool and useful.
• Have you ever heard the word "bucolic", or "pastoral"? I enjoy that sort of vibe.
• "Vintage" things also catch my eye often.
• Architectural things, if that makes sense (:

• When it comes to teas, I am okay with practically anything. I haven't really tried a wide variety of teas and am eager to try more. I lean towards mint- or fruit-flavored, though.
• I have no food allergies.
• I don't enjoy especially sugary stuff, like the majority of candy

• Mint stamps

• Letter stationery sets : I have never owned any and they seem so cute!

• Things to wrap washi samples around e.g. plasticine playing cards, acetate sheets, packing tape around cardboard etc

• Paint chips from hardware/home improvement stores

I absolutely adore well-decorated envelopes. Every envelope that I have ever received I have kept, and any of them that have any semblance of decoration (other than random sticker-slapping) is hung up on twine on the wall in front of my desk. Even just a bunch of vintage stamps or nice handwriting or pretty colors can make the wall! Essentially, make your envelope pretty (beyond what is required of the swap, and hopefully in one of the themes I like) and you will probably get a heart.

• Bright colors with insane patterns and glitter and pop-ups and the like. I am open-minded to them, these things just usually aren't pleasing to me so please don't make them the main shebang.
• Extremely scented things. Light scent is okay.
• Please no nudity, political stuff, or quotes (:
• No children's, cartoon, or teacher items. I do not have any use for these things and do not like them.
• I'm not really into kawaii. While I won't complain, save it for somebody who loves it.
