Hey there! I’m Siobhan (she/her), a crafting enthusiast, professional collector of weirdness, and all-around happy mail junkie. I thrive on creativity and randomness. If it’s handmade, odd, or slightly ridiculous, I’m probably into it.

I used to be very active on swap bot when it first started and my children were small. I took a 10 year hiatus to raise them and now they are 25 and 17 so they don't need me as much at home focused on them anymore. Over the years I have maintained 7 long distance pen pals but I wanted to get back to fun mail swaps so I am back. Most of the swappers I was familiar and friends with are not on here anymore so I hope to make some new fun connections and share some fun weird art with the world.

I am a level 45 Archivist (45 years old), my day job is in hospitality, I am the host of a tabletop gaming convention happening every spring in Vermont.

If you send me any of these, you win instant cool points:

💀 Zombies – plushies, figurines, books, bags, stationery...basically, if it’s undead, I want it.

🥷 Ninjas – because they’re awesome and sneaky (unlike me, I trip over my own feet).

🤖 Robots – cute, creepy, or retro-futuristic, I love them all.

📜 Junk Journal Gold – grocery lists, receipts, clothing tags, weird packaging...your “clean trash” might be my next masterpiece.

🌊 Jellyfish – floaty, mysterious, and weirdly graceful—I’m obsessed.

I’m a serial crafter—always trying new things and rarely following the rules. My favorites include:

✂️ Paper Crafts & Sewing (forever faves!)

🎨 ATCs, postcards, matchboxes, swap cards, note cards, ransom notes (the fun kind, not the crime kind)

📿 Friendship bracelets, embroidery, jewelry making, and whatever else I decide to experiment with this week

I’m easy to please, but here’s what I love vs. what I politely don’t need:

💚 YES TO:

✔️ Handmade treasures – if you made it, I’ll love it!

✔️ Tea (decaf preferred, but surprise me)

✔️ Tiny stuffies, especially handmade ones

✔️ Spooky-but-cute things (creepy is great; oozing pus is a no-go)

✔️ Glitter, faeries, D&D, dice, nerdy oddities, dark academia, cottagecore, fantasy-anything

✔️ Halloween. All year. No exceptions.

✔️ Fave color? Green!

🚫 NO TO:

✖️ Kitchen gadgets (unless it’s a tiny ninja to chop my veggies)

✖️ Broken things (unless it’s meant to be “artsy broken”)

✖️ Candy (I have enough energy already, thanks!)

✖️ Sunflowers or country-style décor

✖️ Religious items (respectfully, not my thing)

✖️ Scented candles, perfumes, or lotions (allergy alert!)

In case anyone wants to randomly send me something awesome:

Siobhan Shufelt PO Box 173 East Burke, Vermont 05832 USA

Please do not send anything illegal :)

I run a tight but fun ship! My swaps are clearly described, and I check profiles before assigning partners—no drama, no flakers. Swapping should be safe and fun for everyone.

Angel Policy: I’ll angel any swap I host (unless otherwise noted) if:

📅 You’ve waited the required two weeks.

📩 You’ve messaged your partner and received no response. Please also message me before rating a 1 in case I have luck in getting information from them. then...

❌ You’ve rated them a "1" for not sending.
