• I have gotten some really disappointing swaps! A tag off of a pair of underwear is probably one of the most notable things. I definitely had a few good laughs over the silliest things people decide to send that I would NEVER even consider mailing.

• I started hosting swaps after ten years of being on swap-bot. Hopefully you guys join in on the fun!

• Fill out your profiles so we can better understand your likes. It’s great you have cats, kids and like ice cream but that doesn’t exactly help in choosing things to send you.

HERE IS A LITTLE INSIGHT INTO MY WORLD:

• My name is Andrea but I mostly go by AJ. (It’s not even my initials)

• I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.

• I’m the youngest of nine siblings.

• I enjoy all things art! I love nature, chasing waterfalls, scenic trails, rain,

• Been in a long term relationship with my amazing boyfriend.

• I have a shih-tzu named Holly.

• I absolutely hate makeup and never wear any. Basically I live in sweatpants and hoodies.

• I really enjoy writing letters and sharing my art. Been drawing since I could hold a pencil. I won my first national art contest in second grade,

• I’m creative, thoughtful, dedicated, eccentric and adventurous.

• Favorite colors are teal and gray.

• When we get enough snow I still enjoy building snowmen because why not!

• I have a painted rocks garden in front of the house that people really enjoy!

• Always down for new pen pals or private swaps, especially art/creative swaps!

• I live to honor the memory of wonderful parents, that I miss with all my heart.

• “Remember to live while you’re busy surviving.”

💔Missing my Mom & Dad so much!

• I swap to distract myself from my grief.

I greatly appreciate anything to honor their memory! Artwork, anything printed, a card. Anything with their name as well
