I came over here from Postcrossing (same name).

6/9/25 Update: I've officially finished the move from MN to Texas. Things are still in boxes but I'm here, slowly getting settled. I'm using a temporary computer atm but was able to get back into my swap-bot account today. I'm hoping to be caught up checking in with my mail by the end of the week.

Upcycling

I try to upcycle as much as I can with my mail art. If you would like to do the same, I'm always happy to receive it. Also, if you have any recommendations for eco-friendly mailing supplies, please send them my way. Right now I'm using secondhand purchases, scotch greener tape, & am an currently on the lookout for new glue stick options if you know any. Handmade & upcycled postcards are always welcome.

Zines

Do you make zines? I'd love to do some trades if you do (ai-free only).

What did you love to watch/do when you were a kid (that you no longer do)?
What's the last thing you had to eat & how was it?
Draw an animal or cartoon-style person of your choosing ("bad drawings" are 100% welcome, horses are fun to try)

Write out a timeline list of what you did today/yesterday.
If you could go back in time and live there for a month, what time period would you choose and why?
What song have you really been enjoying lately?
Make any kind of list you want.

5/16/25 Update

I accidentally deleted part of my profile while updating it. If you read anything on it previously, I don't remember everything but will try to get it added back again. I still have the same interests.
